1. Sure. If you want the complaints to be private, just set up a contact form. If you want complaints to be public or semi-private set up Group and/or Sitewide forums.

2. You need the Domain Mapping plugin. Then you need either:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ OR
– http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/
You’d have to ask plugin devs whether either or both are compatible with Domain Mapping plugin though I haven’t heard issues with either so far.

3. In either multinetwork plugins above, there are ways and means to do what you need – some coding required.

4. Yes, using either of the multinetwork plugin above, you do keep those components separate.

5. Yes, I posted both in #2

6. No, the networks do not have to use the same theme at all.

7. No limit to number of networks. One can only be limited by server and coding skills.

try the QUICK FLAG plugin (http://www.techytalk.info/wordpress-plugins/quick-flag/), it will get you half way there

Hi, you can perhaps start by looking at this thread it should give you some pointers: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/using-the-wordpress-login-and-register-pages-instead-of-buddypress/

@nstjwz Based on the structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your simpolio theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace

Not possible yet. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4436

It sounds like you’re just missing the code for the widgets to show up.

Since I don’t have access to the Huddle theme, it should be as simple as adding the dynamic_sidebar() function to your frontpage template:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar

Make sure you know what the sidebar ID is though. Again, this sounds like a theme issue. Try contacting the theme developers for Huddle.

Yes, it’s possible. But it would require custom development.

You might want to look into s2member. That’s one option, but there are probably a few others as well.

There are plugins that already do this:

BuddyPress Links – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/
BP-Media – https://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/
BP Media Component – http://rtcamp.com/buddypress-media/

I want the headbangers ball on MTV to come back but it doesn’t always mean we get what we want.
Anyway try the Envolve plugin, it doesn’t integrate as perfect as I would like with BP but its free with up too 25 simultaneous chats. Get it here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/envolve-chat/

You can post at plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-plus > click on Support tab

You need to convert SMF into bbPress. bbPress is a forum, like SMF, so you need to convert from like-to-like. I’m not sure if bbPress has an importer for SMF, but check it out: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

Yep.

I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.

I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.

Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .
