In 3.1.2 this is no longer. users with no blog or site have a user dashboard with no attached blog or site – not even the main site. they will not be listed as users on the main site, but they will still be listed as users in the network and have their pseudo-subscriber access. (This basically means when they are logged in, they are logged in to all sites in the network but do not have admin area access to all blogs. they can just comment if “must be logged in to comment” is checked on any blog/site.)

If you still need users added to the main site/blog (for example in cases where you have a forum synced up with the main site for support) then you will need to add users to the main site when they sign up.

This plugins may help: Multisite user management.

Note: this behavior does not affect BuddyPress profiles.

Importing a single WordPress blog into WordPress MU the direct to database method, because nobody imports like the bava, NOBODY. Use this method for large sites where the usual export /Import is too big or when you want to also pull the users and options.

500 errors and 1and1 webhost If you’re having issues installing MU there.

installing on windows

Switch to blog and showing the main blog’s nav bar on other blogs. This code goes in the other theme’s header.php file.
just before the nav bar code put

right after the navbar code put

then it will always show the pages from Blog #1.
Yes it works for other code, but fair warning – switch to blog can get expensive. Think hard before using it on sites with lots of blogs.

When your permalinks don’t work, either mod_rewrite isn’t enabled, or isn’t explicitly enabled on your vhost in apache. You’ll need this line:
AllowOverride FileInfo Options

And the last one: Check your error logs!
