MU Lev-0 "Registration disabled" Workaround

Hi all,

I was having problems with setting up s2Member free registration in a MU environment and found a workaround that’s working on my own site EzMarketingInsider.com. May be worth giving it a try if you have similar problems because I wasn’t able to find much help on Google.

Symptoms: You have a MU install of WordPress and want free (Lev 0) subscribers and further levels (1-4). Although you select allow Lev-0 subscriptions, the wp-signup.php URL still says “Registration has been disabled”. Looking at the value in Network > Settings, you can see that the “Registration has been disabled” option is checked and greyed out (because it’s controlled by s2Member).

Disabling the s2Member plugin, changing the Network > Settings option to allow registration and then re-enabling the plugin doesn’t help. The setting reverts to “Registration has been disabled”.

Workaround: In the s2Member > Multisite (Config) menu at Super Admin level, select “Blog Farm (users may register and create blogs). s2Member then shows some additional fields asking how many blogs can be registered at each membership level. I set all these to 0 in my case, since I just want users to be able to register, not create blogs.

Saving the settings fixed the issue for me and users can register but not create blogs from Levels 0-4.

Hope this helps and saves you a bit of time if you’re having the same issue. Note, it is just a workaround as such.

Thanks,
Dee
