References I found several plugins and solutions for this. The most promising seemed to be MultiUser Management Plugin. Here’s a short and untested rip off from this plugin, as there’re easier ways to get the available/registered blogs and normally you won’t need their public API functions. Also I think that some stuff they use is … Read more
You can setup a multisite network that will cover your 20-30 sites. We run a similar type application where we have a site for each school on our network. From there, you could use the following plugin to automatically add users to your blogs. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/

If you’re wanting to display post specific to the site they were created on, and not on the others, WordPress MU does this out of the box. There are multiple tables in the same database setup for each site’s posts. They all share the same user table, but data for each site is logically separated … Read more
Alright I figured it out. Thank you guys. What it came down to was a little snippet of code I put in a while back to redirect a user to the home page if not logged in…. stupid me. I really appreciate your help in this though. By disabling everything but wordpress (all plugins, caching, … Read more
The problem is that thumbnail addresses are coded on the db. When changing a wp installation from one site to an other, you need to make sure that the thumbnail addresses are correct, one way is to use wp-exporter and importer I personaly don’t like that option what I normally do is download the entire … Read more
