    Normally I would agree. In this case some sites would need visual separation from the network. We would have major pubs and potentially a learning Commons on the same install. Lots of things to consider. Thanks for the feedback.

    Seems to apply the fixed network bar at the top out of the box if you’re logged into WP, whether it’s a BP compatible theme or not, at least from what I’ve seen. As far as I have read, it seems you need to add a line to the theme’s function to stop that. Again, very early in playing with things

    • Normal wordpress adds an admin bar as well. You can add it in other places to disable it, not just the theme. All those links point back to the main blog.

      I don’t consider the admin bar links interference on sub sites.

    Thanks for the response, and the other one. Agreed about the forum topic and will do a little more research. There are a lot of moving pieces here and I’m just not sure if the best strategy is one WP install that’s all BuddyPress and one that isn’t for standalone sites.

    • I’m not really sure I know what you mean by buddypress not affecting sub sites in the network. It onyl affects users. That’s it. It does nothing on the subsites out of the box.

    @andrea_r Hi Andrea. Thought you might know about running BP on WP (3.12/MU) network and ensuring some sites/blogs can stand alone, separate from the BP install. I gather if I keep non-BP themes enabled on the non-BP standalone sites/blogs, they’ll remain disconnected from BP. However, since we use LDAP auth, how does installing BP on the…[Read more]

    • The connectedness has nothing to do with using bp themes or not on the sub blogs. The users are global in the network (It’s not MU anymore – yes, it now makes a difference) and as such all profile stuff happens on the main site – where you use a BP theme.

      Have you checked the forums with how LDAP & BP works together or not? Cuz I have no…[Read more]
