Want more pre-configuration options?
There are many ways to pre-congifure the site that is created at checkout (custom code, this recipe above, or the plugin described below). We’ve guided our PMPro Plus members through this process via the members forums.
One way is to use the pmpro_network_new_site hook to run custom code after a new site is setup. During this action, you can change properties of the admin user, change the default theme, create stub pages, or really run any code you need to. Here is an example that uses the hook to changes new users to the editor role when their site is created.
| function pmpro_network_new_site_editor($blog_id, $user_id) | |
| { | |
| //switch to new blog | |
| switch_to_blog($blog_id); | |
| //change user's role on blog to "editor" | |
| $wp_user_object = get_userdata($user_id); | |
| $wp_user_object->set_role('editor'); | |
| //switch back to main blog | |
| restore_current_blog(); | |
| } | |
| add_action('pmpro_network_new_site', 'pmpro_network_new_site_editor', 10, 2); |
