Multiple buddypress installation each on a separate sub-domain

Hi,

I have a question on installing multiple buddpress on a single site under sub-domains.

Lets say I have a domain http://www.abc.com

I have subdomains say http://www.us.abc.com, http://www.uk.abc.com, and so on.

I re direct the users to a sub-domain based on their country.

I need to keep everything separate for each sub domain.. so i install wordpress+buddypress separately on each sub-domain.

Q1 – is it possible to have such an installation

Q2 – how well would this installation scale ? How many such sub-domains can i have?

Q3 – How will the blogs work if i select “sub-domain” option during installation. Will a user have a blog url as http://www.myblog.us.abc.com ???

BuddyPress works like a central community, so it’s either you have one BuddyPress website or not.

What you can do is to install it on a single subdomain.

like community.abc.com

then you would have to edit your wp-config.php file, add the following line

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );

the number 3 is your blog id.

I’ve found the solution from

Thanks to Sabuntu!

I’m requesting the subdomain installation as a feature though.
