## Description

Users who have not been assigned any Roles or Capabilities are called ‘orphans’.

When using the [shared users table trick](https://web.archive.org/web/20160226091450/http://xentek.net/articles/528/implementing-the-wordpress-shared-users-table-trick/)
to link up multiple WordPress installations, users who register on one of your blogs,
are not given any privileges on the other blogs in the network. WP-Orphanage is 
a plugin that automatically adopts your orphan users by promoting them to the role
of your choosing. By default it is the same as the default role set in the WP Options.

It does it in two ways:

 1. Users who try to login to a different blog in the network than the one they signed
    up on, will be promoted at the time of login. The user won’t even know that it 
    happened.
 2. When the admin logs into the blog and views the users page, all orphan users – 
    for that blog – are promoted automatically.

By taking a just in time approach, this plugin will not add any noticeable overhead
to your WordPress blogs, while providing a seamless experience for the users and
administrators.

This plugin is a extended version of WP-Orphanage plugin written by Eric Marden

## Installation

 1. Download the wp-orphanage-extended.zip file, unzip and upload the whole directory
    to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Edit the plugin options to set the role you would like users to be promoted to,
    and other WP prefixes where to search for roles.
 4. As an admin you can visit the Users page to automatically upgrade all orphan users
    of that blog to that role. Users who login before you do that will also get the
    same treatment (but only for their account).

## FAQ

### Why Would I Want This?

If you are using the `CUSTOM_USER_TABLE` and `CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE` in your [wp-config.php](https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#custom-user-and-usermeta-tables),
you’re probably going to want this.

Btw – Mike McLin has created an excellent video tutorial (see: mikemclin.net/single-
users-table-multiple-wordpress-sites/) in which he explains the perfect use case
for this WP-Orphanage Extended plugin 🙂

Just ensure you enter the table suffixes correctly like wp_ etc. if they are different
for different installs. Works in subdomain. what a blessing! Thanks so much
