Not by default. One instance of BuddyPress covers single multisite installation.
There’s http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/
where you would have to create a network of multisite installations first. Check it out.
Delete the header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php previously created. My bad, I missed the common div#content in both Listings WP theme and BP template files which unfortunately are placed in different parts of the HTML structure. I have replaced instructions using second method with that of using the first method for BP Compatibility process in above post.
The widgets in sidebar which show up in the BuddyPress pages are the same as what you placed in your theme’s sidebar.
Hi Paul – I’m using my own theme (and will need to use it for the live site). I’ve run the Buddypress plugin pack, and everything seemed to go OK with that.
I’ve played around a little bit on testbp.org, and so I have an idea about how things are supposed to work, but it’s not working that way for me.
One other thing – when someone writes a post, I would like other users to be able to have a choice: to see more of their posts (as wp normally does) or to go to their BP profile page to message them, see their activity, etc.
@mercime thanks for the tip. now I copy pasted your code, changes the links, changed the " to the quote mark and it works well but when I click the link the link on the nav bar is not selected on either two of my links. see image below ….

@Hostprofile:
I asked a question in his forum, but thus far I haven’t heard back. I was hoping in the interim that someone here might have encountered the same issue with the password reset feature. I’ll try disabling plugins, as you suggested. I already disabled TML to test the password reset, and noticed that when TML is deactivated, the reset feature works ok. I also noticed something about the link directions, too:
TML PLUGIN ON:
Lost Password link goes here:
http://www.thewebsite/login/?action=lostpassword
TML PLUGIN OFF:
Lost Password link goes here:
http://www.thewebsite/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
I’m wondering why the code is different, and where I can get at this code. I’m assuming it’s buried in PHP somewhere within TML’s resources, but I’ve had no luck finding it.
I’ll troubleshoot more by disabling plugins, as you suggested, however.
I seem to have a similar problem. After updating, I was asked to create pages (also for a “links”) plugin I’ve implemented (but not actually using much yet).
A “links” tab was created, but also a “links” link (off to the right, directly below the tabs and still within the header).
The tab points to “links/” and link points to “links” (no trailing slash).
I’m just ignoring it for now, but it looks very broken. 
@ewebber Are you using a VPS, or shared?
@MarcEsadrian
Have you tried posting a new thread on the support forum for TML?
http://www.jfarthing.com/support/forum/requests-and-complaints
I don’t see any threads from users with the same issue, but perhaps no one else has noticed. Also, have you tried disabling other plugins and just keeping BuddyPress & TML activated? Does the password recovery function work just fine if you disable TML?
Thanks again @etivite indeed creating a new MySQL Query was a better option than trying to loop through the array and extract the data. A simple get_var query allowed us to pull the first primary group that the member was an administrator of and that did the trick.
I appreciate the help!
@ewebber What type of hosting environment are you in?
If in a shared hosting environment, it could be that your web hosting provider is simply limiting the amount of memory that can be used by a single script. If this is the case, increasing the memory that WordPress can use won’t have too much effect as you’ll still be limited by your providers software configuration.
From my experience, most shared hosting providers limit memory to 32MB (some less…). With WordPress really working best with 64MB+, if this is the case, you’ll run into these errors quite often.
@etivite I have a question, what if I wanted to combine some of the steps into like one or two steps, instead of having a screen for each step. you know? like having details, invites, slug, etc. on one step. i would say the avatar, but the upload and crop have 2 diff screens, and im not sure how difficult that would be to combine. ive been googling this for about 6 hours lol. Any ideas?
Hi mercime
Thanks for replying.
I have the latest BuddyPress installed-it activated alright from my dashboard (BP1.5.1).
I had to hand code some of my theme to make it BP compatible (you helped me).
I am running WP multisite
Re sitewide forums I have only tried adding one forum.
Why is my forum at
http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/
not showing?
Most grateful for your further help-many thanks
Hi
Are you using the demo theme that comes with BuddyPress, or your own theme? If it’s not BP-Default, you can check out and play with a test site at http://testbp.org
For starters, you’ll need to switch from the buddybar to the wp admin bar. To do this in 1.5, set this in wp-config.php:
define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);
In wp-admin, in the BuddyPress > Components menu, just make sure that the Activity component is enabled and the Friends component is disabled. Anything else beyond that might need you to customise your theme.
Hey Guys,
I am having trouble with the @gregfielding technique. I’ve tried the 3 steps of getting the form on the home page but i simply receive a: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error). I am using the buddyboss template. Any ideas?
Currenty I have copied the HTML from mywebsite.com/regiser and I am using the form along with the form tag:
<form action="” name=”signup_form” id=”signup_form” class=”standard-form” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>
When the form is submitted I am taken to mywebsite.com/regiser and I receive this error:
“Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.”
With the ‘Please Try Again’ Linking back to the home page.
Any idea how I can resolve either ?!
Thank you mercime. You’ve got me part of the way there. The buddypress pages are now just aligned a little to far to the left and the sidebar widgets are overlaying the pages. Can you give me a hint on how to move the content over about 20px to the left and what to do about the overlaying sidebar widgets?
BTW. I don’t have any widgets in the buddypress sidebars, so they must be coming from the theme’s default widget area’s.
Thanks for the help you’ve provided already. I appreciate it greatly.
@loudrake first, what theme are you using? If you have a WP theme and used the BP Template Pack plugin, which method did you use to make your WP theme compatible with BP – 1st method which changes more than a dozen BP template files or the 2nd method using header-/sidebar-buddypress.php?
All probability is that you’re used the first method and missed replacing the divs in all the required BP template files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
@suziwilson congratulations on your pastebin post 
To make sure that your code shows up in this forum, place backtick (`) the symbol within the parentheses at the beginning and at the end of your code. For long/big blocks of code, pastebin is better.
` `
We’ll be using the first method to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress – changing HTML structure in 16 BP template files transferred to your Listings theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility Process. Download the 6 BP folders transferred to your Listings theme during the process.
Starting with activity/index.php At the top of the file, replace
`
`
with
`
`
At the bottom of the file replace
`
`
with
`
`
Save file. Then do this with the remaining 15 files except for registration/register.php where at the very bottom, you replace
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
with
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save. Upload to server.
` `
You would still have some minor tweaks to the styles within the template. I’ve posted the tweaks used in some themes near middle of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
@mercime I tested what you suggested here. I discovered that if i just removed the two lines that stated here that the second nav is removed. This is perfect but if I add custom links I have two problems.
1) I can only add the new custom links to the beginning of the of the unordered list.
2) Of course the css selection does not work.
How do I fix this below is the code:
`
- Advertise Now
- Blog
<li class=”selected”><a href="” title=””>
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>
<!– #REMOVED PHP SCRIPT
and

Please advise…
Hey modemlooper, I tried the line of code: bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );
but it simply puts the line of code as text onto my groups page. is this because the data is in the members loop but not available in the groups loop?
EDIT:
I found a way to do it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-fields-in-members-list-on-groups-page/
the code used was this:
<?php $location = xprofile_get_field_data('Location', bp_get_group_member_id());
if(!empty($location)) : ?>
Then it might not be the BuddyPress plugin causing the problem. Access your web server’s error log, and tell us what the error is. If you’re unable / don’t know how to do this, ask your web host for support.
Thanks @etivite
What if all I need to do is a check to see if the member is a group admin, is there a better way to do just that? I essentially just need to know if the conditional is true or false. If the member is an admin, we’ll run the code, if they aren’t, then nothing is ran.
Edit: Forgot to add that we don’t have the Group ID to use on-hand. We are running this check in the footer template file, but it’s only being ran on the profile page(s).
