[Resolved] User is not added to a site when registering
-
Hello All,
Basic Config: WordPress Multi Site, WordPress Multi Network, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Multi Network, WPMU DEV BuddyPress Social Them
Issue: When a site visitor registers at any site the user is not added as a user of that site and does not receive at least Subscriber permissions. The user does show up at the top Network Level.
Is this normal behavior? If so is there anyway that I can accomplish the end result of a user automatically being at least a subscriber member of a site that they register on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.TYIA, Eric

Update: I just created a completely fresh install of WordPress Multi Site, with no plugins or thems and registered a new user. The user account is not added to the site and, of course, does not have any permissions. Yet the user has access to the site as a member.
Kinda weird. It’s like there is some hidden permissions granted.
@elangleyAfter more research this is expected behavior in WP Multi Network. Users are only added to the main blog, not the sub blog they join on. Kinda weird but that is the way it works.
I tried the WPMU Default User Role https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/screenshots/ but it didn’t work for me.
Multisite User Management https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/installation/ did the trick!
