    Hello,

    I was kindly helped on this forum (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/changing-internal-configuration-settings/) to execute all steps to install Buddypress on a secondary blog (http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
    ).

    I want to activate Buddypress on a secondary blog with my WP3.1 MU setup on example.com/buddypress/
    My other blogs are on example.com/blog1/, example.com/blog2/ etc.

    I have:
    1) Added define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id ); to WP-config
    2) Added following code to a (newly created) bp-custom.php which i added to /plugins folder

    <?php
    
    define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 75 );
    define ( 'BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED', true );
    define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
    define ( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
    
    ?>

    3) Installed (but not activated!) Buddypress plugin as a network admin.

    Now my trouble is that I cannot see the Buddypress plugin in my example.com/buddypress/ directory to activate. Obviously I do not want to network activate the plugin!

    Can anybody help me how to “make appear” the Buddypress plugin?

    Thanks so much!

    In a multisite installation, you will find BuddyPress in Network Admin only and it must be activated sitewide to track and enter posts/activities from subsites/sublogs. If you do not want BP to “show up” in subsites, delete define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );

    @mercime – I’ve deleted define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); from bp-custom.php, but now the plugin doesn’t show up in any of my subsites.

    My BP install is on example.com/socialnetwork, and I have 40 other blogs like example.com/blog1, example.com/blog2 etc. I only want BP to “show up” on the BP blog.

    Is that possible..? Thanks!
