Thanks Chouf. I found the solution and the problem is resolved. So I was trying a million different things within the Network Admin to make this work… I read in a thousand different places that all you need to do is define BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG as true in wp-config. For whatever reason, this DID NOT work and had zero effect on my network.
The solution was to define BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG as true in bb-custom.php. For those that don’t know, bb-custom.php is a stand alone file that is placed in the plugins directory. It’s basically like a child theme’s functions.php, but for buddypress. Why I had to dig deep into buddypress codex to make this discovery, I’m not sure. Hopefully this spares someone else the hair-pulling struggle I had to go through!
