Disaster on Multisite setups

    While being a really nice plug-in, it has cost me most of this Saturday to figure out why nobody can log in to their sites.
    On the bright side: I got to rummage around inside general-template.php quite a lot until I figured that someone (hint hint) had applied a login-url filter. Grep stood for the rest of the discovery: this plugin.

    I had activated it network wide, but only I was using it. The remaining sites (yes – I got to talk to all of the site admins) were stuck with META widgets logging in to — nowhere.

    I have disabled this plug-in pending a fix.

    Sincerely,
    Karsten Jeppesen

    goldfingyr,

    Thanks for your post. Sorry to hear you encountered an issue. We’ve tested and used WPUC on numerous WPMS installations and have not run into this. We’ll take a look at this issue and do some testing and get back to you.

    Cheers,

    -Bill

    goldfingyr,

    Just wanted to follow up on this issue. We went back and tested with WPUC on WPMS to reproduce the scenario you experienced. We were able to reproduce it successfully, and also resolve it. Bottom line is that, in the current version of WPUC, you cannot do a network-wide activation from your main WPMS admin. While WPUC should be installed at the network level, it should then be activated at the individual site level. The correct WPMS install/setup process should obviously be in the WPUC plugin documentation for WPMS installs. We will add it in our upcoming release. Thanks for pointing out this gap in our WPMS installation/setup procedures and notifying us of the issue.

    Cheers,

    -Bill
