I managed to resolve the issue with the forums so I thought I might as well post it up for future headscratchers.

Well, I didnt solve the problem as such, I found a workaround. I disabled the Buddypress forum component and deleted the forums page for each of the sites involved. I then installed and ran bbpress independently from buddypress and used the shortcode to generate the forums page. This seemed to work ok.

I should point out that this was sufficient as I needed to use site-wide forums. If you need group forums, you may have to dig deeper into the relations between the two plugins.

@mercime. Thank you. That plugin was exactly what i was after. I managed to install Buddypress on each sub-site as required and most importantly, i could see the Buddypress menu enabling me to set each site up as required. Furthermore, friends stay friends irregardless of what network they “belonged to”.

The problem I’m having now is that I can’t seem to install the “site-wide forums” for each site using the Buddypress config menu. I tried manually installing and network activating bbpress and i can see the forum menus for each site. However, when I try visiting the forums page I get redirected to the home page for the site/sub-site. I tried creating a forum for one of the sites but when I try viewing that forum I get an error message saying “The forums component has not been set up yet.”

Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated.

P.S. Should I mark this as solved and create a new thread for this forum issue?

Managed to fix the problem. In a word….. stripslashes().

Forgot to mention, I am developing a theme so I am looking to do this without the use of a plugin.

Just noticed that I am experiencing the same problems with the categories as well.

i.e: When I click “Add Category” for both normal posts and custom post types, the category is added in the background but is not visually updated in the category list on the right.
