I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post

This is the thing that I’ve been looking for so long and it worked for me on wp 3.2.1. Thanks a lot!

I followed these instructions carefully, but under WP 3.2.1 it doesn’t work for me. I had the following happen: a) I was unable to log out of sub sites at all (even if I was logged into a different account on the main site); b) logging in to the main site as a different user still doesn’t log me out of sub sites, OR log me in to the sub sites as the new user.

I renewed the secret keys across the board (which I think basically flushes the cookies). But now when I login to main, then go to sub site, I’m not automatically logged in (which I think was the point of the tutorial).

In addition, if I try to login to the sub sites with a newly created user ID (created on the main site) I get “ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?”

So this would seem conclusive that the method is not working, at least for me.
On one sub site, users don’t show up in Dashboard / Users.

I can’t explain this, as I have the following function in wp-config.php for both sub sites:

ne(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’,'wp_users’); // shared user db
define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’,'wp_usermeta’); // shared usermeta

(obviously with the prefix set to that the main site is running off)

Been trying to get this to work with 3.0 but am completely lost.

I’m getting the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

Can someone figure out how to get around this?

All help would be so appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan

guys, it’s true. this is still not yet tested with WordPress 3.

though i suspect perhaps any problems have something to do with the new salt definitions in wp-config.php – so i would start by making sure all those are consistent across all sites you’re trying to get unified login working with.

also, it’s possible that all this can now be achieved using the new multisite features merged/built into WP 3.0 – again untested.

so please, test away, and share any experience you’ve had getting this working with WP 3.0.

i’ll be sure to write a new post or update this one once i get a chance to test things on my own setup.

I have this scenario:

I have a site (siteA.com) and a wordpress (siteB.com). In siteA.com users can register and each time one is registered it adds the same user (using curl) on siteB.com (wordpress).
I need that when a user is logged in siteA.com it is automatically logged in siteB.com. They have different databases and domains. Is this possible? How ?
