Use Loginpress on some sub sites on multi site?

    I am using a multi site to replicate web designs for test purposes.
    Now I have a web design that works on a WP single site installation with LoginPress.
    It does not seem to work when I install LoginPress on multi site, do NOT activate it on network level and activate it on a sub site.
    Is this how it is supposed to work? Or is there a way to use it on 1 sub site and not on the others?

    Hello @harm10,

    Thank you for reaching out! LoginPress is fully compatible with WordPress multisite environments. Here’s how it works:

    • If you network activate the plugin, it will be activated on all subsites, and each subsite can have its own customizations independent of others.
    • If you activate the plugin on a single subsite, it will work only for that specific subsite without affecting others.

    If this isn’t working as expected or you face any issues, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our support forum. We’re here to assist!

    @emma24 Thanks for your explanation that it should work.

    I tried it again and found that if I specify the full wp-admin url of the site that has LoginPress activated I get the LoginPress login screen.
    But if I first log in regularly on the main site within the multi site and then switch to the dashboard I do not get the login screen. Perhaps this is because I am already logged in on the main site?
    Shouldn’t LoginPress detect this and ask again to log in? After all the userid/password settings can be different per sub site?

    In a WordPress multisite network, when you’re logged into the main site as network admin, WordPress recognizes your session across the entire network. This means that if you’re already logged in on one site, accessing another subsite may not prompt you to log in again, as your authenticated session is valid network-wide.

    LoginPress customizes the login experience but doesn’t alter WordPress’s core authentication behavior. Therefore, if you’re already logged in on one site, you won’t be prompted to log in again when accessing another subsite, even if it has a different login page customized by LoginPress.

    I hope this clarifies the behavior you’re experiencing. If you have any further questions or need assistance with other aspects of LoginPress, feel free to ask! ??

    @emma24 Thanks for the additional explanation. I want to submit an enhancement request like an option to set to show the LoginPress screen whenever a new dashboard is selected. Where can I best submit that?
