I have been trying to search this and have found no luck (mostly people wanting member lists to appear seperate for each subsite which is the opposite of what I want). So I have created a multisite, and I want members who register on my main site to have access to my community subsite which is strictly wpforo. The problem I am having is they either have to register to both sites, or when I use the plugin 'Join My Multisite' (which auto adds and logs in any registered user from network to network) they dont actually show up as members. I have also tested this with registering on my main site > opening new browser (not tab whole new browser) > navigating to the community subsite > manually entering the log in information. Now that profile appears logged in, but does not show as a member, or able to access any boards or profile. 

Is there a way to configure all registered members from my main site, to the subsite and forums?

I should also state, that the user does show as registered and added to the community subsite on the 'network admin > users' page.

This plugin is not compatible with wpForo. user must use the subSite registration form to be registered in both WP subSite and wpForo User Profile system. using this method you only register users to the WP subSite user table, but the Forum Profiles are not created. You should not register user on the main site. you should register users in subSite Dashboard to allow wpForo create forum profile for current subSite.

In other words, don't use any plugin like (Join My Multisite). Don't use the Main site Dashboard to register a user for subSite. In case you do these two, you should call this URL in dashboard of the subSite after new users registration to create member profiles based on new registered users data:

subsite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpforo-community&action=synch
