I’m assuming that the “Multisite Blogging” feature listed on the BuddyPress.org homepage is related to having it work with a WordPress Network?

Or is there more functionality built into BuddyPress that allows this functionality? It’s not listed anywhere in the components section.

You’re correct to assume that.

If you’re not using multisite, you can choose to track blog posts and comments on your regular WP install with the “Site Tracking” setting.

Great, thanks for the reply. Does BuddyPress enhance the multisite features in any way?

@bryanjwatson out of the box, buddypress doesn’t really do much with multi-site blogs. Afew features are planned however – such as allowing users to post from the front end rather than requiring the need to go to the admin panel (refer to https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap). That’s one feature i’m calmly waiting for :p

Currently, If you have the tracking option you mentioned above selected, it will post your users blog posts to the activity stream. It will also links the logged-in users comments and the blog posts author links to their buddypress members profiles and It also adds a listing of users blogs on their profile and in a directory on the front-end. That’s really all it does out-of the box. It’s still your regular multisite experience that your used to.

Have any other ideas on how to further-enhance the multisite social experience?
