Hello Sotiris,

I solved this problem by adding a bp-custom.php file to wp-content/plugins/ enabling multiblog

Create a file with text editor and name it bp-custom.php with the following lines below and add it using ftp to wp-content/plugins/

<?php
// define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

You can also try Bp Registration options plugin, you can define registration rules for every subsite.

Note: take care that when a user register to a subsite, he will receive a participant role on main site by default which makes him access buddyboss components anyway on the main site unless you are denying it using a pluign like “members only pro” (It doesn’t show in the admin users page that the user has a participant role but if you tried to access the profile of the user who registered on the subsite only on the main site you will find that he has access because of the participant role)

Regards.

Hello Sotiris,

Well first I am not Brajesh, I just saw your message stating a problem I managed to solve before so I shared what I did 🙂

As for your issue, that shouldn’t happen! and most probably this is a conflict that drove me crazy before and even buddyboss support couldn’t solve it for me, so try the following:

Deactivae all plugins except for buddyboss and BP Multi network only and deactivate the forum discussions component on all subsites then try registration again and see if the problem is solved.

Note: the forum discussions component and some other buddypress plugins conflicts with this setup of registration that you are aiming for.

if the problem is solved dont network activate Bp registration just activate it on the subsites.

On my multisite every subsite has separate registration, the user cant log in to any other subsite, but will have access to the main site anyway because of the participant role when he register to any subsite, however, if the user is logged in already on any subsite (or the main site) and visited another subsite he cant register on the visited site, you must use join blog widget plugin that just assign him a role on the visited subsite. if you want to make him fill registration fields you can use force profile completion plugin. that’s the best that I could do without a custom code.

Rami

Hello Sotiris,

Thank you for the details.

1. Are you using BuddyPress registration Options plugin? I am not aware of any conflict or compatibility with it. Please Try disabling it and see if the registration appear in one site or more?

2. The users being able to login to your secondary site, this is expected behaviour. We do not restrict any user from logging. It is a multisite install and any users with a role on sub site will be able to login to sub site. If you are using bbPress forum on any of the sub site, It automatically adds a user role to current site f a user visits it(or tries to logi in). That’s why people are able to login.

For restricting User login:- I will need couple of days as I don’t have the multisite setup with BP Multi network. We might be able to either disable bbPress from auto adding user to the site or deny login by role.
