I noticed on the feature list that members are not shared across the network with WP multsite. Is it possible to auto setup an account at all when someone registers at one, or copy over that login info when they attempt to register at another? Similar to this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/. I have several blogs setup like domain.com/blog1, domain.com/blog2 that we are combining into a multisite network and we want a unified login system on.

Also, do the custom registration fields have a profile page somewhere where people can amend or fill them in later? Ideally I’d like to ask for just name/email on registration and then have more detailed fields in the profile.

Thanks!

Hi Lucie,

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.

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. Things like access restrictions on one domain are not shared across domains (again, the WordPress Multisite feature itself isn’t designed to work like that). When you upgrade s2Member on the primary site, the s2Member plugin is automatically updated for all your sub-sites.

There are plugins that allow you to get around these WordPress Multisite limitations, however they may or may not work with s2Member.

Regarding allowing your users to edit Custom Registration Fields, please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Member Profile Modifications.
