    I need to make several of my sites accessible only to registered users, this looked perfect.

    I have just configured jmm but anyone can still access the site without logging in.

    I directed jmm to a page https://cle-france.bell-computing.com/join-my-multisite/ which if I put that url in a clean browser it shows a page to create a new user. But it doesn’t show otherwise. Have I misunderstood how this works? Do I need something else to force login?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    That’s not how the plugin works.

    It doesn’t prevent people from accessing a site at all. Never has. You’ll need a privacy type plugin for that.

    OK. I get it now – “Users who are not logged in will be redirected to the perpage you select from the dropdowns. ” means that “register” redirects…

    “Lost my password” though goes to my root site so I dont know which site they are coming from. Is that a problem with my site?

    No. That’s how multisite works. You can filter it if you want.

    OK, thats how it works. BUt there’s a lot of people who think otherwise on that trac. I have to agree with the thinking that if someone loses their password that they would not want one for a totally different site, I appreciate that your plugin handles users registered on the main site for the subdomains. But anyway I can’t get the plugin that forces login to whitelist join-my multisite anyway. Not your problem but definitely part of mine.

    Thanks anyway.

    I’m of the opinion that hiding the fact that you’re on a network is a bad idea and you shouldn’t be using Multisite if that’s the requirement. That’s for a variety of reasons (including legal ones in my mind).

    I hadn’t thought about it much in that way. But I kind of make a thing about joining Bell Computing Sites. Their default tag line during development after all is “Another Bell Computing Site”. I can’t say they fully understand the implications of being on my network, I try to make their life as uncomplicated as I can. But I would rather they just had access to their own part of it. If I can resolve the whitelisting of join-my-multisite with the login plugin I think this plugin is the solution.

    Thanks.
