BuddyPress.org

if you got a step-by-step or could elaborate further on this I would appreciate it mate.

You are the first person to make me feel like this is even possible thank you!

I am very new to php and buddypress etc so trying my best but not quite to the levels you are speaking of

…(without the ‘backticks’) …..

`/** Sets up BuddyPress subdomain indicator. */
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 4 );`

Hi Paul, thanks, still not working yet, though – could there be anything else – I’ve added;

‘/** Sets up BuddyPress subdomain indicator. */
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 4 );’

to wp-config.php and uploaded, pretty sure it’s blog 4 – yep, blog ID 4. Checked upload twice, etc. Have Ctrl+F5 refreshed also, but pages still not showing ( http://talk.integraluk.org/ ).

Latest, I believe (WP 3.0.4, BP 1.2.7), installed from fresh download yesterday.

To diagnose the problem, I edited the code recommended in http://buddydev.com/buddypress/remove-buddypress-admin-bar-from-all-blog-except-the-main-buddypress-site/ by using a literal, i.e. replacing

`if($current_site->blog_id!=BP_ROOT_BLOG)`

with

`if($current_site->blog_id==n)`

With n = 1 (the main site, where I don’t want BuddyPress admin bar), the admin bar is disabled from *both* this site and the BuddyPress site (blog 2); with n = 2 (the BuddyPress blog), the admin bar is enabled for both!

This has confirmed that, in my installation, $current_site->blog_id is stuck at 1 no matter whether I’m on the main site or the BuddyPress subdirectory.

Again, I suspect my BuddyPress secondary blog installation is not working correctly, which may explain the above, but ideas quite welcome!

Okay, now I do think my secondary blog installation is not working, as when I implemented the above via bp-custom.php, the admin bar was removed from *both* my main blog (where I don’t want it) and secondary blog (where I do want it).

I’m looking at the instructions for BP secondary blog installation, and the grammar of step 1 is a bit perplexing:

“In order to run Buddypress on a secondary blog, you should create a second blog and modify BuddyPress’ internal settings to set your new blog as the BP root blog. Next [what do they mean by “Next” here? I see what follows as the same instruction], define the ‘root’ blog you would like BuddyPress to reside at by adding the code snippet below to wp-config.php [this part is simple].”

The code I added to wp-config.php following instructions for WP network (multisite) and BP secondary blog is:

`define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘[mysite]/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘[myhost]’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘[mypath]’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`

Where info in [] above has been replaced by literals in my case. The secondary blog is definitely #2; is there something else I’ve missed that (a) results in BP acting like a network plugin (vs. one restricted to the secondary blog) and (b) removes *all* admin bars from both blogs?

Thanks, all.

Thank you! Now I have the name right . I guess it was confusing to me that BuddyPress acts as a *network* activate/deactivate plugin, with settings that span all blogs on the network, in spite of that whole secondary blog installation I did following the instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/.

Did I somehow not perform that secondary blog installation correctly, or is this just how BuddyPress works?
