In reply to: Allow user sub-site creation after registeringNo man.. wp makes this easy – check out multisites – e.g. on my site http://viral.co.za if you register including a site during the registration, you can add as many sites as you like afterward without my having to do anything – the subdomain, everything, is sorted – read up on multisite with subdomains; you can get it running in 5min
These subsites are virtual – they give the appearance of being subdomains without actually being subdomains – you can’t actually ftp to them etc. It’s quite neat

In reply to: Allow user sub-site creation after registeringApologies for the late reply; happy new year all!
Thanks for the reply @ipstenu – so it seems I’m not crazy – WP options are:
1. Only allow users to register and login but not create subsites
2. Allow users to login, but do not allow new users to register. Previously registered users may create sites, but no new users may register.
3. Allow users to register and create sites, but always ask in the registration page for users to register a site. If they don’t register a site at that specific point, they won’t ever be allowed to set up a new site.I think it’s amazing given that wordpress is in such widespread use, that these are the native options. Surely there’s at least a plugin out there to give us the most natural options, which I think would be as follows: (and when will WP grant this behaviour natively?)
1. In the network settings dashboard, we have an option to let users login or register and this is independent of sub-sites options
2. On the registration form, the user is not offered the option to simultaneously register a new website
3. (Minor irritation) – on the registration page, the profile details/name field will not appear as a solitary field on the right hanging out in noman’s land – it will line up below the other fields (sorry – just thought I’d add this in)
4. Once a user logs in, s/he gets the option in the wp-admin bar to create a new site. This option is also short-code available (and only shows if user is logged in). [And this option can be prevented from the network settings in the dashboard of the main site]
5. (Another minor irritation) – when the non-admin user logs in, he should not be given the option in his WP admin bar to visit the main site’s dashboardI feel I should apologise for requesting these modifications to the brilliant tool that WP is, a tool that I am aferall receiving free access to! I am not ungrateful, but really, having this update would do so much for me getting to where I need to go on my site.
If anyone has a way to code up these mods to the WP core, I would really like to hear about it.
@ipstenu: I can see that you must have the ear of the WP developers – may we prevail on you to forward these requests?
Best

In reply to: Allow user sub-site creation after registeringThanks for the reply
I currently have “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.” selected.
I choose this because at least then there is a “Register” link next to my login button on my form, and while registering there are fields in the form to create a site (which I don’t think is a great way to do it, but at least it’s there).
When I do use “Logged in users may register new sites.” I don’t get the “Register” link next to my button. When I do choose this option, I still don’t see the link to create a new site for a logged in user – I would expect it to be in the wp-admin bar under “My Sites”, but it unfortunately is not.
There is also a link there to enter the dashboard for the main site which, when you click on it, gives you an error page – this is what I want it to do, since I don’t want a user to enter my main site dashboard. But I don’t know why they get the option to try anyway.
Great thanks, facebook login works now!
Great thanks, that improved a number of things, especially that sharing now does work.
The main page still wouldn’t show the horizontal sharing buttons, but I added that manually using a shortcode – i think it’s fine.
My login button for twitter works, but facebook does nothing. I think that might be a problem with page redirection – I didn’t udnerstand some fields that I filled out in my facebook app, so I think that one’s my fault.
Many thanks for your fast reply that actually fixed most of my problems!
