    In the plugin description it states: “This plugin in addition creates a table which tracks the users associated with various networks.”

    What table is created? I will see if deleting this table and doing a clean install of BuddyPress and BuddyPress Multi Network will correct the issue.

    Hello Brajesh,

    Yes, I see now the issue. I think my issue was that I tried to activate buddypress on the subsite BEFORE I had the BuddyPress Multi Network plugin network installed and network activated.

    I have now tested activating buddypress on a subsite and everything appears to be working.

    Do you have an idea how I can correct the issue on the subsite where I had previously attempted to use buddypress and had it activated? I can easily delete those tables from this subsite if needed.

    What do you suggest? Thank you.

    Tyler

    Hello Brajesh,

    What did you discover while using BuddyPress 3.1.0?

    Yes, I am using the latest version of BuddyPress 3.1.0 – thank you for testing and report back your findings.

    Yes, I have verified that those setting are enabled on the sub site. The cover photo option is present and works as expected, however the upload Avatar functionality does not appear as expected. Even when I manually attempt to access /members/{my-user-name}/profile/change-avatar/ I get a 404 page not found error.

    I assume that BuddyPress does NOT need to be active on the primary site – or does it?
