# Multiple WordPress installation sharing one user table

 * I have set up a couple of WordPress sites that all share the same user table,
   however as outlined in this article: [http://hungred.com/how-to/multiple-wordpress-installation-sharing-user-table-touching-wordpress-core/](http://hungred.com/how-to/multiple-wordpress-installation-sharing-user-table-touching-wordpress-core/)
   you get an error about not having permission to view the admin for the other 
   sites because of the table prefix.
 * The problem is this article is rather old now and the code has changed in the
   capabilities.php file so I can’t do the hack shown. BUT I don’t want to hack 
   the core code anyway. How can I fix this problem???? Needed asap please. Thanks

 * I’m using both. I have some sites running as MS and some running stand-alone 
   but sharing users and cookies. The MS stuff works fine, and so do the stand alone
   apart from the permissions bug.

 * Is the question not clear ( not enough information? ) or does nobody know how
   to fix this problem in WP 3.0?
