Greetings,

Have a wordpress multisite which I want to behave like this:

#Blog #1 (super-admin) only super-admin can edit this blog

#Only one blog for each user, ie, one user can’t register 2 blogs.

What is the best way to do this?

Thank you,

Diogo Gomes

Hello @diugo

I hope you are well today and thanks for asking the question.

#Blog #1 (super-admin) only super-admin can edit this blog

No other user should not be able to edit this blog, until you make them admin.

Only one blog for each user, ie, one user can’t register 2 blogs.

Please add the following code in your theme’s functions.php:
```
function ds_one_blog_only($active_signup) {

// get the array of the current user's blogs

$blogs = get_blogs_of_user( get_current_user_id() );

// all users may be members of blog 1 so remove it from the count, could be a "Dashboard" blog as well

if ($blogs["1"]) unset($blogs["1"]);

//if the user still has blogs, disable signup else continue with existing active_signup rules at SiteAdmin->Options

$n = count($blogs);

if($n == 1) {

$active_signup = 'none';

echo '';

} elseif($n > 1) {

$active_signup = 'none';

echo '';

} else {

$active_signup = $active_signup;

}

return	$active_signup; // return "all", "none", "blog" or "user"

}

add_filter('wpmu_active_signup', 'ds_one_blog_only');
```
You can add those codes in your functions.php in the theme, if you think your theme won’t be changed. Otherwise mu-plugins is the best solution. To use mu-plugins, go to /wp-content/ and find the folder with name ‘mu-plugins’. If there is no folder in that name, then create a folder, name it ‘mu-plugins’, create a file inside that, give any name you like and paste the code in there. You don’t need to activate that plugin. Mu-plugins means must use plugins, so it will be activated automatically always.

Please let me know if you find this is helpful, or if you have any further questions.

Cheers
