WP-Orphanage Extended promotes 'orphan' users (those without assigned roles) in a WordPress multisite environment. It automatically assigns the default role or a chosen role when users log in to other network sites or when an admin views the users page. This simplifies user management across linked WordPress installations sharing a user table.
