Introduction
BuddyBoss Theme and Platform do not yet offer full, out-of-the-box support for WordPress Multisite. However, many users have successfully run BuddyBoss in a multisite network by following WordPress’s standard Multisite setup. Below is guidance to get you started and what to watch out for.
Setting Up BuddyBoss on Multisite
Network Enable the Plugins and Theme
- Install BuddyBoss Platform and BuddyBoss Theme in your network’s Plugins and Themes sections.
- Click Network Activate for both, ensuring that all subsites can access the code.
License Key Activation
Use your single-site license key on the Network dashboard (Dashboard → BuddyBoss → License Keys). This ensures that updates propagate across every site in your network without individual activations.
Follow WordPress’s Multisite Guide
If you haven’t already, set up Multisite by following WordPress’s official instructions.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: License errors appearing on subsites—what should I do?
A: Confirm the license key is entered on the Network level (not individually on subsites). Only network-activated plugins/themes should require licensing.
Q: Will Multisite break my existing BuddyBoss setup?
A: Activating Multisite on an existing single site can introduce conflicts. We recommend testing on a staging environment first and ensuring all plugins and the theme are updated to their latest versions.
Q: Who can help if I encounter Multisite-specific issues?
A: For personalized assistance, open a support ticket via your BuddyBoss account dashboard and mention “Multisite” in the request.
