I also have the same problem (currently using WP 3.12 multi site and SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam 2.7.5). Its not clear to me whether the above post is offering a solution or not?

Below are the errors.
To be honest they don’t mean much to me and in looking at them nothing really stands out.

I think somewhere something must be wrong in the imported database. I don’t have a lot of hope for finding what it is, So I’m now trying with a new install where i can at least log in. That much I’ve done and I have got the basics of my site replicated. I hope I can import enough data from the live site to get the local site looking and behaving the same. Not sure of the best way to go about this though.

Tried that now but it makes no difference.

If you want BP on your Primary site and NOT on a secondary site, my guess is, you just do a standard install and activate a BP compatible theme on the primary site, (no declarations in the WP-config file about which blog id, BP resides, i.e. don’t add the ‘define (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id);’ line to the wp-config file.

As has been suggested here by Iptenu, follow the instructions in the BP codex
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
My own problems with an install on a non primary site were instantly removed when I repositioned the define ‘( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );’ line to the top of all the added in instructions in the wp-conf.php file.
Your situation may be different. If you get no joy, ask again.

When I originally set up my site, thats what idid, I followed the instructions that are on the link that you give. Everything worked fine, then one month ago i updated to WP3.2 and BP 1.2.9, from then on the BP installation on the secondary site was broken. Everything (as far as I could tell) was configured properly and I followed all sorts of advice, nothing changed the situation. I ‘fixed’ my problem by adding the line ‘define (‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);’ to the wp-config file but the result was that I no longer really had an independent BP installation. What I describe in my last entry on the Mamp thread is what got my BP installation back to being a properly functioning BP install on a secondary site. It may not be a definitive solution, but It may help someone with a similar problem.
But as you say, we’re not exactly sure what jakesyl’s issue is.

‘Not really unless he’s doing it locally :)’
The latter part of that thread is particularly pertinent to a hosted install. What i did with Mamp showed me what was needed to get my hosted site to work. My hosted site has BP on a secondary site and it was not being recognised properly. After the experimentation I copied some of what i did to my hosted site and it now works.
I guess most of whats relevant is in the last two entries.

You might find this thread useful, especially the latter parts:

A follow up to this, I was happy enough with this solution to begin with but there were a few little things that were not as I wanted them. My BuddyPress site was carrying the name of the main site and not the name I’d originally assigned to it, that was the main niggle.

So I installed virgin copes of WP3.21 and the new beta2 of BuddyPress 1.5 on my mamp dev set up. I added the line define ‘(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2);’ to the wp-confif file before installing BP and before activating Multisite. In activating multisite I put the additional lines below the ‘define (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );’ line, I completed the process and what do you know, BP shows up on the secondary site. Wow!

So after a few minutes of self congratulation, I’m thinking to remove the,
‘define (‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);’ in the WP-config.php file on my live (hosted) site and move ‘define (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3);’ to the top of the added instructions. I try this and it works! A month of frustration gone in an instant!

I had also removed any spaces between between the brackets and the quote marks e.g.
( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 ) became (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2). I don’t really know if this made a difference but its what i did.

So folks, it finally does what it says on the tin!

Have found why those links still work. i had, in trying to find out what was going on, activated the BP template pack and it had added in some additional files to the current theme. Even though I deactivated the template pack those files stayed where they were and appear to be the cause of the links working, as on removal of the files the links no longer work.

To cut a long story short, I’ve now got the site to function again.
In looking through the BP codex I found this:

‘Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );’

So i added the above line to the config file and bingo, it works again. The main site, still does not link to BP, so I am happy enough.
I think the only thing thats different is in the members list, not exactly sure what, the list seems longer, maybe, now includes members from the main site. Anyway, so far, it doesn’t affect functionality.
Its been a long haul, and in the end, just one line needed!
I have to thank you Andrea, I don’t think I would have got my solution without your input. Thank you!

1.2.9 I should have said. Changed permalinks to date and name, no change.
Yes, BP works on the main site even with out the theme you can type the link and get it to work. But follow the links through to say a post in a forum topic and you get a 404 as the link now includes the secondary site.

This is whats in the config file on the hosted site:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/now/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘sannyasnews.org’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/now/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘Sites’ );
define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 100 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 100 );
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );

The last one, maybe is the declaration, as the Id for the BP site is 3

(haven’t got that line on the Vhost site, will try)

Am running the ‘BP columns’ theme on the blog and have tried the default for BP 1.9
to no avail. Permalinks are set to numeric on the BP blog.

Thanks for you patience in sticking with this Andrea. i had to take a break as i was getting nowhere.
But I now have to hold my hand up as I found I’d made a basic error when updating the .htacess file at the activate multisite stage, I didn’t notice the instructions said to replace other WordPress rules. So with that done the site works properly. What a relief!

However, this whole venture was to try and solve a problem with my hosted site that runs Buddypress as a secondary site, that after updating to WP 3.2 and BP 1.9, Buddypress returns Page not found messages on the main Navigation links.
(If I activate a BP theme for the Primary site the navigation links work).

I’ve now tried BP on the virtually hosted site but the same problem persists.

The hosting company says its not a hosting problem (I’m not so sure) and no one on the forums at BP has so far been able to successfully help.

Most suggestions mention the permalinks and the htaccess file.
I’ve changed and reset the permalinks to no avail and the .htaccess file has only the code thats added for multisite.

What to do?

OK, I cannot pretend to say I understand the httpd,config file, Its quite long with a lot of commenting but nowhere do I see any references to File options except in the part that i added towards the end: which is as follows:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “/Applications/MAMP/htdocs”
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “/Users/Dharmen/Sites/”
ServerName localhost
VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “/Users/Dharmen/Sites/”
<Directory “/Users/Dharmen/Sites/”
AllowOverride Fileinfo Options
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “/Users/Dharmen/Sites/sannyasnews”
AllowOverride All
ServerName sannyasnews.dev
</VirtualHost>

I see there is a line:

‘AllowOverride Fileinfo Options’

Should I be looking to ad another line like this somewhere?

It worked this time! However when I create a sites and I go to visit it, the site shows up but it is completely without a theme or styling. All the headings and menus are aligned to the left and run underneath one another. There is a link to themes but it just returns to the same page.
(I don’t think this is relevant but I’ll mention it incase, when i created the WP network for the new site and was adding to the wp-config.php I noticed that none of the 8 ‘Unique Keys and Salts’, had been generated, whereas in the previous sites wp-config file they had.)
