Hi! Anyone have advice about using CBOX with multiple networks? I am using a plugin called networks+http://wpebooks.com/networks/ which means that I have several networks set up under a single MU wordpress install – but the CBOX theme does not work in any networks that I set up in this way (apart from the main original network). Any advice would be most appreciated @cbox_admin Thanks 🙂
Hi Alison – I can open up a ticket on github and have the dev team look into this, but first can you provide a little more information about the issue. Do you get any specific errors when using the CBOX theme? This would help the devs better determine what is causing the incompatibility. Thanks a lot.
Hi Scott, thanks so much for your reply, here is a little more detail:
I don’t get any specific error messages it’s just the cbox theme doesn’t display you can see this here : http://secondnetwork.mmu.wpengine.com/
Whereas the CBOX theme works fine on the main original network ( http://mmu.wpengine.com/ ) from which I installed the Networks+ plugin (http://wpebooks.com/networks/ ) and created the secondary network
I have tested that the second network ( http://secondnetwork.mmu.wpengine.com/ ) does work fine with the normal buddy press theme (and it works fine).
This is what I did to set everything up:
I have set up a separate network under my original multiuser site mmu.wpengine.com, using the networks + plugin the new network has the URL secondnetwork.mmu.wpengine.com and I called the site ‘Second Nework’.
That all worked fine including the use of the CBOX plugin on this second network, BUT….
The Commons in a Box theme is not displaying properly when you view this new Second Network site. I think it may be the Buddypress plugin that is making the theme break – although the buddypress plugin looks fine in the dashboard and has no errors showing. I have tested the Second Network with the normal budypress theme and it all works fine: Whilst using the normal buddypress theme the same buddypress elements from the orginial network such as the test group I made ‘Abuckleysblogfirstgroup’, also show up in this new Second Network as expected.
Many Thanks really appreciate the help 🙂
