So, does it support wordpress MU? * Thanks a lot, and have a nice day. * Alex * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/commons-in-a-box/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commons-in-a-box/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Contributor [r-a-y](https://wordpress.org/support/users/r-a-y/) * (@r-a-y) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857796) * Hi alexlii, * Thanks for testing. * Can you explain what you mean by “it does not display in sub sites”? * If you are talking about the CBOX admin dashboard, then you are correct. When network-activated, the CBOX admin dashboard only displays in the “Network Admin” area. * Let us know if you meant something else. * Thread Starter [alexlii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexlii/) * (@alexlii) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857813) * Hello, * Thanks for your reply, yes, I understand what you mean by “the CBOX admin dashboard only displays in the “Network Admin” area.” * Should there be any issue, I will let you know, thanks again. * Alex * Thread Starter [alexlii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexlii/) * (@alexlii) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857818) * Here is a question… * we follow the instruction of buddypress official( [https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/](https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/)) ————————————————— * B. Network-wide Activation – BuddyPress root blog in Secondary Site * Go to Dashboard → Network Admin. Click on Sites link. Find the ID number of the site you want to be the root site of your BuddyPress installation. Open up your installation’s wp-config.php file. Add define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id); to your wp-config.php file where $blog_id is the ID number of your chosen site and save the file. * Go to Dashboard → Network Admin. Add BuddyPress through Plugins → Add New. Activate BuddyPress. You will be redirected to the BuddyPress Welcome screen. Configure BuddyPress for Multisite. —————————————————————— * so, we activate buddypress network wide, and configured all the pages in sub domain at buddypress.mydomain.com. * and the question is whether I should activate all other plugins in CBOX network wide or side wide in the subdomain? which way is the best performance choice? * Looking forward to your reply, thanks a lot! * Alex * Plugin Contributor [r-a-y](https://wordpress.org/support/users/r-a-y/) * (@r-a-y) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857874) * > and the question is whether I should activate all other plugins in CBOX network > wide or side wide in the subdomain? which way is the best performance choice? * At the moment, CBOX works by activating all its plugins network-wide. * For example, if you activated “Forums” from the CBOX dashboard, bbPress will be activated network-wide. This wouldn’t be great for your entire network. * For now, to workaround this, you can toggle CBOX’s “Expert Mode”: [http://commonsinabox.org/documentation/expert-mode](http://commonsinabox.org/documentation/expert-mode) * Then, you should deactivate “Forums” from the CBOX dashboard. Next, you can manually activate “bbPress” only on your BuddyPress subdomain site. * Let me know if that is a suitable workaround. * Thread Starter [alexlii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexlii/) * (@alexlii) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857954) * Hi Ray, * Thanks so much for your reply, I will test expert-mode next, and will let you know. For now, I understand that CBOX is an great tool to compiled package for buddypress although we might not open all of the service to our users, but I would like to do that step by step. * BTW, I know you are really expert in this field, and I am looking for two plugins for bbpress and buddypress, but I did not find them in CBOX, so you might give me some suggestion. * One plugin is for the purpose of “Featured bbpress topic and excerpts”, and another plugin for “posting from buddypress”. any suggestions to find these kind of plugins? * and I tried a lot from wordpress.org, but they all did fit my need, any suggestions would be highly appreciated. * Alex Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Does it support wordpress MU?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/commons-in-a-box_ffffff.svg) * [Commons In A Box](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commons-in-a-box/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commons-in-a-box/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commons-in-a-box/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commons-in-a-box/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commons-in-a-box/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commons-in-a-box/reviews/) ## Tags * [wordpress-mu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wordpress-mu/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [alexlii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexlii/) * Last activity: [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wordpress-mu/#post-6857954) * Status: not a support question
