Hi all,

as Donncha released WPMU 2.7.1 beta2 and default_role was still not working, i have opened ticket for it on WPMU trac.

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/957

Let’s hope it’ll be solved soon and permanently

Hi all,

i had the very same problem at http://buzzdev.org that default role on main blog was ignored for new user signups.

I am running plain WPMU 2.7

Looked into the source code and solved the problem by editing wpmu-functions.php at line 672 (function “add_user_to_blog”):

//$user->set_role($role);

$user->set_role(get_option("default_role"));

Now whatever default_role i set in wpmu/options.php it gets applied to new user registrations.

take care

buzz
