Hi,
I just configured a server running WordPress + Buddypress Multisite.
After a lot of struggling with the server setup i finally got everything to work, except a little issue.
When i'm on a sub-site (site.domain.com) and i click the register link on the right (i use buddypress default theme), it sends the user to site.domain.com/register, page that doesn't exist, since the actual register page is located at domain.com/register.
Any hint on how to change this?
Thank you.
Have you posted about this on buddypress?

No i haven't. I wasn't sure if it was fitting better on Buddypress or Multisite, since it's an issue caused by the combination of the 2.
I will post it there too then.
Yeah, it's ... Annoyingly both :/ But since BP's registration takes over instead of WPs, it's them.

I posted there too now.
If i don't get an answer by tonight i'll go and try to mess with the code by myself, but the final result is usually less clean than a real fix, and i'd rather spend time working on my plugins, functionalities and new child theme.
I'll update both forums if i get an answer. (might help someone in the future)
You should not be using a buddypress theme on a sub site. You only use a bp theme on the site where the BP profiles are.

Why not?
It doesn't seem to do much problem except for this one..
And i also just spent 9 hours working on a child theme for the other sites..
Because there's a ton of unneeded code and the register link would be broken. ;)

It makes me change my plans a bit, but i am now considering it.
For some reason i thought if sites don't have a buddypress theme they won't have all the good things of BP. I'll run some tests and see.

Humm... The twenty eleven theme is kind of broken if i put it on the child sites.. The toolbar on top is still buddypress toolbar and the menus are intersecting with the header..

Everyone gets redirected to the main site where the buddypress profiles live. That's where all the BP goodies are.

you'll need to ask about that over on the bp.org forums.

Must be a Z-index thing, it doesn't happen with some other themes.
I'm planning to do my own anyway, so it should't be a problem.
I'm also looking for a good login plugin, but haven't found one after trying a few different ones.. I put this post as resolved for now.

Usually happens when theme authors do not place <?php wp_footer(); ?> just before closing </body></html> and instead places code elsewhere. I've even seen a theme with 2 wp_footer :-)

Nop, i checked and fixed that for my theme.
By default twenty eleven uses:
#branding {
z-index: 9999;
}by leaving a decent Z index, the header doest fight with the toolbar anymore.
