Single Login for Multisite?

    Q: When I am logged in to my main (networked) WP Multisite, shouldn’t I be able to click “My Sites” >> the subdomain site >> dashboard >> and be taken there (and not the log in screen)?

    Two Techs at my web host tell me yes, and one is telling me that is not possible without a plugin like WordPress Multisite User Sync/Unsync. I could have sworn I did this 2 months ago natively (without plugins).

    Thank you for your consideration

    More digging on the internet reveals this: In a WordPress Multisite network, authentication is handled at the network (primary) level rather than on a per-site basis. As a Super Administrator, you do not need to log in separately to each sub-site.

    But I’m also finding information that says a “SSO” plugin is required because single sign on is not native to WordPress.

    Anyone care to clear my confusion?

    Yes, logging in to your multisite *should* allow you to visit the Admin area of your subdomain sites without your having to log in again. Does it work if you try in an incognito window?

    I’ve not tried that yet, Helen.

    Interestingly, sometime I can login once and other times I cannot.

    I think you have the same issue than here : https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-specific-login-issues-with-wp-6-8-hashing/

    From WordPress 6.8.0, it’s not possible to be logged in the main site and a subsite with the same user.

    Hello again, for information, I’ve fixed this problem by adding this line in my wp-config.php file :

    define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] );

    Now it’s working I can log me into the main site and a subsite with the same account.
