I have a Wordpress MultiSite install which will have a limited number of "blogs." The only purpose for doing this was to create a landing page where my free users could sign up and have the options page themed to match that page. I want the actual protected pages to look and feel different, sidebars and all the regular Wordpress stuff.

I played with the look and feel of the pages until I was blue in the face and decided I needed a sub-directory for all the protected content. I set up the multisite option in Wordpress and S2Member recognized it and adapted smoothly. I thought the integration was smoother and simpler than the half-dozen or so other systems I have tested.

However, I could not figure out how to allow my members to log in to the directory based site after they had registered in the top level or admin site.

Searching the site here, I came across this thread ... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=606&p=2683&hilit=multisite#p2683 and was preparing to purchase the networking package that was recommended, but I have to say that the $600+ price tag seemed a bit high for this functionality.

Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi Kirk. I'm posting this here as well, as a possible alternative:

In your Dashboard, under: s2Member -> General Options -> Login Welcome Page, you will find a secondary option that allows you to use a "Special Redirection URL". You will also find a link there with information pertaining to "Replacement Codes". Using Replacement Codes in your Special Redirection URL, allows you to configure a Login Welcome Page like so:

Code: Select all

http://example.com/login-welcome-page-%%current_user_level%%/

So now you will just need to create a separate Login Welcome Page for each of these Levels:

Code: Select all

http://example.com/login-welcome-page-0/
http://example.com/login-welcome-page-1/
http://example.com/login-welcome-page-2/
http://example.com/login-welcome-page-3/
http://example.com/login-welcome-page-4/

Thanks Jason,

That looks straightforward enough. I guess us new users ask a lot of the same questions because we don't recognize the ability of the software when we first see the system. Thanks for being willing to go over things so often.
