## Description

The _BP Group Sites_ plugin enables the creation of a many-to-many relationship 
between _BuddyPress_ Groups and _WordPress_ Sites. This is useful when you have 
a _BuddyPress_ network in which you want, for example, many groups to comment simultaneously
on sites which they share access to.

The plugin is designed to work with [_CommentPress Core_](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/)“
documents” (which are themselves complete sub-sites) so that there can be many reading
groups for each document and many documents for each reading group.

This plugin was developed for [The Readers’ Thoreau](https://commons.digitalthoreau.org/)
where it enables multiple reading groups to collectively discuss the works of Henry
David Thoreau.

### Requirements

This plugin requires a minimum of _WordPress 4.9_ and _BuddyPress 2.0_.

### BuddyPress 12.x

This plugin has not yet been tested with the new BP Rewrites API in _BuddyPress 
12.x_. It is therefore recommended to remain on _BuddyPress 11.4_ or install the
[BP Classic](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-classic/) plugin until compatibility
has been written and tested.

### Plugin Development

This plugin is in active development. For feature requests and bug reports (or if
you’re a plugin author and want to contribute) please visit the plugin’s [GitHub repository](https://github.com/christianwach/bp-group-sites).

## Installation

 1. Extract the plugin archive
 2. Upload plugin files to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Network activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress Multisite Network
    Admin

By default, this plugin will use internal templates for the BuddyPress pages that
it creates. The default can be found in the “assets/templates/bpgsites” directory.
If you want to override these templates, copy the enclosing directory to your theme’s
root directory so that your template files live in “your-theme-dir/bpgsites”. An
alternative set of templates is provided in “assets/templates” for the Twenty Sixteen
theme, so if you are using that theme, copy these files to “your-theme-dir/bpgsites”
instead.
