Reply To: Should ALL BP plugins be network activated?
Thanks for so much information, however, it doesn’t answer my question :).
I understand that some plugins are single site, some are network and that network plugins can be used on individual sites on an MU installation.
Your advise to network activate plugins on an MU site is not correct because there are many times when you want a plugin on the main site or one or two sites but not all sites on the network. A good example is statistics plugins that could use up tons of resources if all sites were running their instant all out. That could bring a system to it’s knees if admins aren’t aware and so on. Just an example of course.
Perhaps you were talking about a sub-domain install? I am asking about a sub-directory install.
However, what I have been trying to find out about specifically, is about BP related plugins and not the main BP plugin itself.
I went ahead and network enabled all of the BP related plugins then tested by trying things out, going to various sub-directory sites, etc. I didn’t really notice anything different and in the end, it seemed that the only BP plugin which had any value being run in network mode was the main BP plugin itself. This allows me to show new posts site wide in the activity walls but that’s about it.
So, at this point, even after testing, which may not have shown me everything that could be done, I am still where I started.
