How to install BuddyPress as a secondary blog of WPMU

Hey Guys!

I need to install BuddyPress as a secondary blog of my WPMU network, ’cause my project is based in a WPMU blogs network, but I want the social integration too, like when I make a new post in one of the WPMU blogs, that post appears at my Activity Stream.

I need this like I can set one theme to the main site and another theme to the buddypress installation.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Derek

Sure, you can BP in a secondary blog of your WPMU installation. Create a bp-custom.php file and in it add the following so you can set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
`<?php
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );
?>`
Replace $blog_id with the actual side ID# e.g. 35 then save file and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder

– from https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Sure, you can activate a BP-compatible theme for that specific BP in secondary site.

Hi,

If i understand well, i only need to add the code below (where 3 is the secondary blog ID) in wp-config.php, right?

`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );`

But where exactly? Does it make any difference if i place it one line or the other? Where should i put it? Before and after which line?

By the way, i guess i will, but could someone please confirm i can have a different and independent buddypress install for each of the blogs in the wordpress multisite network?
