Support: Installing BuddyPress

Problems with getting it running.

I don’t want to ”network activate” BP om my WP Network, can I activate it on 1 site only? (6 posts)

    I’m running a big network of wordpress websites, but 99% of them are non-BuddyPress.

    Do I really have to network activate BP? It will slow down my other sites and I have no use for it.

    What can I do?

    Always worth checking documentation first:

    @hnla – Thanks for the link to the documentation, but that doesn’t answer the question. Installing BP on a secondary blog still requires a Network Activation of the BP plugin.

    Is it possible to manually control which blogs on a WPMU network have BP and which do not? Is there any other option besides “Network Activate” ?

    Even if you take the “Network” setting out of the plugin’s main file, BuddyPress will not work only a bunch of separate sites on the same network. It’s not built to support that.

    Are there any plans to support this? I have a large WP multi-site network going, but only 1 or 2 of the sites want/need BuddPress functionality.

    Then you’ll need to put them on their own install.
