Ok I tried s2member in my domain. I don’t understand many things.

Let me make it simple.

Lets say I have a site called example.com
My site has multisite setup. NOT blog farm.

I create a sub site for each niche.

Some example sites

google.example.com
facebook.example.com
twitter.example.com

If a user subscribed in my main site, then he/she should able to access all sub sites.

I don’t want my users to pay in each site. I’m using multisite user management plugin. So the users are synced everytime i create a new site.

Now is it possible to access all my network sites under one subscription?

If yes can you guys explain how?

I see this message in all my subsites

NOTE: s2Member security restrictions will NOT be enforced until you've configured a Membership Options Page. See: s2Member -> General Options -> Membership Options Page

I don’t want to create membership options page in each blog. I want a global membership page. Where is it? Thanks

Hi Viruthagiri,

While s2Member is compatible with WordPress Multisite Networking, the sites within a WordPress network are separate and not interconnected. That means you cannot share users, logins, or other data across the sites (including access control).

Please see the following from WordPress.org:

The sites in a multisite network are separate, very like the separate blogs at WordPress.com. They are not interconnected like things in other kinds of networks (even though plugins can create various kinds of interconnections between the sites). If you plan on creating sites that are strongly interconnected, that share data, or share users, then a multisite network might not be the best solution.

The s2Member Multisite feature allows you to offer the s2Member plugin to sub-sites, giving your sub-sites the ability to setup and use s2Member on their own. When you upgrade s2Member on the primary site, the s2Member plugin is automatically updated for all your sub-sites. However, things like access restrictions on one WP installation are not shared across WP installations (again, the WordPress Multisite feature itself isn’t designed to work like that).

There are plugins that allow you to get around these WordPress Multisite limitations (such as the multisite user management plugin you’re using), however they may or may not work with s2Member. Without extensive modifications, s2Member will not protect access on sub-sites from the primary domain.
