Good day,
I need your help guys I am quite confused, We have a site and our school decided to have a membership site (before its all free).
The sites are as follows:
1. Main site - buddypress with group/forum
2. Library - will hold all the materials for students and only accessible by paid students.
I Installed Membership plugin on the Library site knowing that our users are currently sync in all the user powered by 'user management plugin' because we want single login for all the subsite.
Now, The Library site will have its own USER LEVEL, the student will just upgrade their standard SUBSCRIBER USER LEVEL to PAID USER LEVEL at the Library site? With the same user login at both the Main site and Library site.
I know this is quite confusing set up. Our main goal is for our student to have integrated login in all the site. Time to time we release new programs and sometimes exclusive to VIPs and Paid Members.
If you have other suggestion in this kind of set up I am grateful.

Yes, we are implementing integrated login to all the sites using the User Management Site. Our main registration portal is the root site and the rest of the subsite will import the users from there.
Right Now, My option is to just Manually Add the users to Premium Subscription Level manually.
Hi Coach,
R u trying to get all users to have the same level of membership in all site?
Meaning, when a user upgrade his membership level in the library site so he will also be automatically upgraded in the other subsites too? If so below might be the solution for you. If this is not what you were looking for just ignore me :)
I think you need to setup membership as network activated and add this Line
define( 'MEMBERSHIP_GLOBAL_TABLES', false);
To your config.php file.
That will use global tables for membership. Means all levels and settings you creat in one site will be also created in all other site and I believe but not sure (because I didn't get to this point yet ) that once user upgrade membership in one site it will also be upgraded in all other sites.
I am also considering this in the future because we might charge our Community for exclusive "paid" groups.
Right now, my problem is to set an upgrade option because the normal subscription is for free then if they want to access our premium contents all they need to do is upgrade their subscription.

Hey Patrick.
I guess I'm a little confused here... Are you running a multisite install?
Are you asking about having membership on each subsite of a multisite installation?
If so then yeah sure you can run membership on multiple subsites and students could signup to each one.
When you say integrated log in, how do you mean? WordPress Multisite handles shared login....
Take care.

HI fitoussi,
Your TIP is really great and helpful!
I am also considering this in the future because we might charge our Community for exclusive "paid" groups.
Right now, my problem is to set an upgrade option because the normal subscription is for free then if they want to access our premium contents all they need to do is upgrade their subscription.
Here is the original thread I created for that issue:
