Unable to enable registration from multisite sub-site

    I would like users to be able to register to be authors on their own. If I link users to wp-login.php?action=register it redirects to the network URL (not the sub-site).

    “User accounts may be registered” and “Allow site administrators to add new users to their site via the “Users → Add User” page” is enabled at the network level. But when I go to Settings > General of the sub-site, there is no Membership option for “Anyone can register”.

    Hoping there is a way to do this without using an extension.

    Sadly that’s not how network users are managed. All users actually belong to the entire network, they are all kept in a single DB table . Specific access, roles, and capabilities are then managed by individual site admins or network super-admin after registration.

    To automatically have users belong to a certain site when they register would require a plugin, or possibly some custom code if no suitable plugin can be found.

    If you don’t have very many sites in your network, it might make sense to have a number of individual WP installations instead of a single network. Then all users would be managed by each individual site.
