BuddyPress.org

I have an interesting situation I am hoping someone can help me with. I was tasked with merging two sites into a multi-site. The “main” site is NOT BuddyPress. The “sub” site IS BuddyPress. We merged all the users into the Network Users. I can go up to Network users and see all 8000 users there. If a user logs in on the main site, they can navigate to the subsite (i.e.: the BuddyPress) site just fine.

However, today I saw a “Pending” notification at the subsite (i.e.: the BuddyPress) site. However, when I go to the BuddyPress site and click on the Users -> Pending, I get the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am an Administrator on the BuddyPress site and a SuperAdmin on the Network.

I’ve also set the define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 8 ); in my wp-config file.

I’ve researched all over the internet on how to set BuddyPress up as a subsite only (i.e.: not at the Network). There is confusing information out there whether this is possible or not. I am very afraid to activate BuddyPress at the Network level because we absolutely don’t want it for the “main” site.

Please, someone let me know if/how this setup is possible?
