Works with multisite if you install it this way…

The multisite directions are slightly off and confusing on this plugin’s main page. But I was able to figure out how to get the plugin working with multisite.

In order to get this to work with a multisite install, follow these directions:

AFTER you’ve already enabled your WordPress site to be a multisite installation and you’ve enabled the Buddypress plugin at the multisite (network) level…

1. Download this plugin, “Buddypress Create Group Type,” but do not activate it yet.

2. Edit the WordPress file called “wp-config.php” by adding the line below. (You can find that file by using your site’s File Manager program, or by using FTP software.) Please note that this line is shown on the main page of this plugin. But between the word “true” and the “)” there was an extra space that should not be there. The line should not have that extra space. Also be aware that commas and quotation marks do not copy and paste well sometimes. So after copying this line to your wp-config.php file, you may have to erase any ‘ or , or ) or ; and manually type it over again, just to be on the safe side. The below line should be correct.

define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);

You can put it right before the “That’s all…” line in the wp-config.php, so it will look something like this:

define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

3. Login to your WordPress site as the admin and go to the network (multisite) dashboard. Under the multisite’s plugins section, find the “Buddypress Create Group Type” plugin and click “Network Activate” for the plugin.

4. Once the plugin is network active, the “Groups” section will no longer be in the network (multisite) area. It will be in the dashboard area of the main, single site. Under the single site’s “Groups” section will be a sub-section called “Group Types,” which is where you can create your different group type categories.

Hope this helps! Great plugin, by the way.
