We have just set up a multisite with BuddyPress and have each sub-site as the different languages. At present we just have French and English but the there will be more to come. (See it in action at http://artgrove.com/)

Enable WordPress in network directory mode. You will create a site for each language required. In the settings for each site you can choose a language.

For BuddyPress to work in this environment, you need to add the following line to wp-config:

define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);

This makes the same single BuddyPress run across the whole wordpress network.

We also used Multilingual press (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multilingual-press/) to help with the switching between languages and for syncing translated content.

The Codestyling Localization plugin is also very useful for translating plugins, themes and core components into target languages (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/).

Of course BuddyPress user generated content will always be in the language they input in. So as pointed out above, you may wish to set up groups/forums that are targeted to specifc languages.

We used some javascript to automatically convert spaces as user types!

`// sanitize signup field
jQuery(“#signup_username”).keyup(function(){
this.value = this.value.toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, ‘-‘);
}); `

I had similar issues with a plugin I developed – all fixed now. Your best contacting plugin developers as there do seem to be a few significant changes to core in 1.6.

Blank pages are often due to a plugin/theme throwing an error. The plugin maybe using stuff that’s changed (especially if accessing data structures like the $bp object directly) and is simply throwing an error. Use WordPress in debug mode and check the log file.

agree, this forum is next to useless without a proper search function.

It is a WPMU with BuddyPress which I set up a few months ago. It is still only a test site, so not live with lots users (who be a bit fed up by now).

I have the domain mapping plugin from wpmu installed, though none of my subdomains are being mapped at present. The problem is simply with pure subdomains on existing blogs created while previous version of BP was installed. And on new blogs created too.

Problem only exists while BuddYpress 1.5 is activated. I deactivate BP and all my subdomains are back.

Its on the main blog. BP works on the main blog but my sub blogs are just blank unless a deactivate BP.
