Multisite WordPress® Patches ( required for compatiblity )

'."\n"; echo '

In order for s2Member to function properly in a Multisite environment, you MUST implement four patches. One goes into your /wp-login.php file, one into /wp-includes/load.php, one into /wp-includes/ms-functions.php, and another into /wp-admin/user-new.php. We have TRAC tickets into WordPress® for these changes. However, until the official release of WordPress® includes these updates, you will need to use the automatic patcher below. All you do is check the box & click Save.

Multisite Registration ( Main Site Configuration )

'."\n"; echo '

s2Member supports Free Subscribers ( at Level #0 ), and several Primary Roles created by the s2Member plugin ( i.e. s2Member Levels 1-4, or up to the number of configured Levels ). If you want your visitors to be capable of registering absolutely free, you will want to "allow" Open Registration. Whenever a visitor registers without paying, they\'ll automatically become a Free Subscriber, at Level #0.

Running A Multisite Blog Farm? With Multisite Networking enabled, your Main Site could ALSO offer a Customer access to create a Blog of their own ( optional ), where a Customer becomes a "Member" of your Main Site, and also a Blog Owner/Administrator of at least one other Blog on your Network. With s2Member installed ( Network wide ), each of your Blog Owners could offer Membership too, using a single copy of the s2Member plugin, which is a great selling point! We refer to this type of installation as a Multisite Blog Farm.

'."\n"; echo '

Multisite Networking makes a new Registration Form available ( driven by your theme ); which we refer to as: /wp-signup.php. If, and only if, you\'re planning to offer Blogs, you MUST use /wp-signup.php, instead of using the Standard Login/Registration Form. In a Multisite installation, we refer to the Standard Login/Registration Form, as: /wp-login.php?action=register. If you\'re planning to offer Membership Access only, and NOT Blogs, you can simply use the Standard Login/Registration Form, which is easily customized through s2Member -> General Options -> Login/Registration Design.

'."\n"; echo '

In either case, s2Member Pro Forms are possible too. If you\'ve purchased s2Member Pro, you could use Pro Forms instead of these WordPress® defaults. That being said, even with s2Member Pro Forms, if you are offering Blogs, you will still need to facilitate the actual creation of each Blog through /wp-signup.php. In other words, Customers can register through s2Member Pro Forms, and even checkout. But when it comes time to setup a new Blog, you will need to redirect your Customer to /wp-signup.php, while they are logged-in. This will allow them to create a new Blog on your Network. That is, if they are allowed to ( based on your configuration below ).

Running a Multisite Blog Farm? ( click here / please read )

'."\n"; echo '

The most important thing to do when setting up a Blog Farm with s2Member, is to add this line to your /wp-config.php file: define("MULTISITE_FARM", true);. This will add a default layer of security, to all Blogs within your Network, with respect to s2Member. But, before you go live, please contact s2Member.com for full documentation. There is some additional functionality that can be enabled for security on a Blog Farm installation; and also some menus/documentation/functionality that can be disabled. You will be asked to purchase our Network Support Package when you need assistance in this regard.

'."\n"; echo '

Multisite Blog Farms require a site owner that fully understands the potential security risks associated with Blog Farming. s2Member\'s Network Support Package provides you with the information you need, and priority support for anything about s2Member that you don\'t understand. In addition, our Network Support Package includes a lengthy PDF file that details a list of things affected by define("MULTISITE_FARM", true);, best practices, and other supplemental documentation focused on Blog Farms.

'."\n"; echo '

Definition of a Multisite Blog Farm: If your Network is making it possible for "Members" of your Main Site, to create and/or manage Blogs (in any way), s2Member will consider your installation to be a Multisite Blog Farm. That being said, some site owners run a Multisite Network for the purpose of maintaining their own sites. The term Multisite Blog Farm does NOT apply to a Network that hosts multiple Child Blogs, all of which are operated by a single site owner and/or a single company. Again, a Multisite Blog Farm ( in the eyes of s2Member ), is any Network that is making it possible for "Members" of its Main Site, to create and/or manage Blogs; where one or more of these Child Blogs is being administered by a Customer ( e.g. if you offer both Membership and Blog creation, as configured below ).

'."\n"; echo '

When NOT to run a Multisite Blog Farm: If you run a Multisite Network for the purpose of maintaining your own sites. You should NOT run a Multisite Blog Farm. You can still activate s2Member Network-wide, if you like ( optional ), but the advanced security considerations offered through s2Member\'s Multisite Blog Farm functionality are NOT needed in this case; because all of the Child Blogs in your Network belong to trusted Administrators ( i.e. your Customers are NOT going to run Child Blogs on your Network in this case ).
