Hello
I set up a WP multisite network using themes that are not built for Buddypress. I want to create a membership site on at least one of the sites in the network. If I create a membership site using Buddypress and the WPMU plugins on one site in the network, will it mess up all of my other themes?

You can enable BuddyPress on any of the subsites by defining it in your wp-config like so: define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 3 );
Then BuddyPress will only be activated on that site and other sites/themes will be fine. You may also want to get rid of the BuddyPress bar that appears across all sites to keep things more independent.
So would I first install buddypress in the network admin and network activate? Or do I only install it on a specific site where I want it? Where do I install the plugin?
hi dustin
buddypress should be activate sitewide (network plugin) and you need to add the define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 3 );
in wp-config.php to determine which blog used the full functional bp components.

Hiya Dustin,

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 3 );Then BuddyPress will only be activated on that site and other sites/themes will be fine. You may also want to get rid of the BuddyPress bar that appears across all sites to keep things more independent.
Let us know if you need anything further.
