Hey guys,
I need your help in determining whether s2member is right for me. Here are my requirements:
My site is a multi site wordpress installation.

1. Say I have a multi-site-one for the “Bikes” and another one for “Cars”. Would I be able to determine who registered for one part of the site and who registered for the other part of the multi-site. I should be able to determine this so that we are able to determine who registered for which part and send the emails to them accordingly. Through s2member will i be able to determine which user registered for which part ?
2. Secondly, the registration email that the user gets sent when on registering need to be relevant for the section they registered for, so will i be able to configure the emails separately because I obviously don’t want the same email to go to users of both the sites

Hi Manvender,

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, however they may or may not work with s2Member.

Each site that uses s2Member is entirely separate from the other sites, even within a multisite network. So if you have two sites, one for Bikes and one for Cars, then each site will send its own emails and have its own users.
