Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Allow Multiple Accounts
Maybe your site is one that doesn't mind if users can sign up for multiple accounts from the same email address, perhaps for different identities. More likely, you as an admin, plugin developer, and/or theme developer would like to be able to create multiple accounts on a site to test various permissions or you just want to test the blog having numerous users and don't want to have to assign unique email addresses for each account.
Yes. You can specify a limit on how many accounts can be created per email address. You can also explicitly list the email addresses which are allowed to create multiple accounts (useful for just allowing admins to have multiple accounts).
The clearest method for resetting a forgotten password is to supply the username on the "Lost your password" form when prompted. If an email address is instead supplied on the form, WordPress will send an email to that address with reset information for the first account found associated with that address. If multiple accounts are associated with that email address, then the email will include a listing of all associated usernames. In order to reset the password for a specific account, go back to the forgotten password form and supply the desired username, or if the email that was sent happens to be for the account that needs the password reset, follow the instructions and link in the email. Bear in mind that the password reset email can be safely disregarded if it relates to an account that shouldn't be reset.
Yes. Account email address usage is handled for existing accounts as well when they attempt to change their email address. If a user account is updated to try to use an email address that has exceeded its allowable use limit, the change will simply be denied (with an error message; see screenshot 3) and their email address will remain unchanged.
Nothing happens. The plugin does not enforce anything with existing accounts. Those email addresses will not be able to create new accounts because they exceed the current limits. However, if one of those accounts changes their email address to something else and then tries to change back, then won't be able to do so because the limit of 2 will prevent them from switching to that particular email address (since there would still be 4 other accounts using the email address in this hypothetical scenario).
Yes.
Yes. In Multisite, why do I get this error message when trying to register for another account with an already used email address: "That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if you do nothing." If you're seeing that error then it means the email address used for the new registration matches one used by an account in the signups table. Basically, an account has been registered with that email address but has not been activated yet. Only one account can be in this registered-but-not-activated state per email address. Before that email address can be used for another account, you have to activate that pending account, delete the pending account from the signups table, or wait a couple of days until the pending account expires.
