Thank you so much for the reply.

I figured it myself :).

I created a custom plugin file and activated it in network admin with the following code:

Tested and it works!

Hope this will help people with the same situation as mine.

Thanks again Ron!

You’ll have to hire a developer to look at that. Most people just use gravatars which will be consistent across the networks.

Thank you so much for this post. It helps me a lot in making my network’s buddypress to a have separated activities, etc.

I like the way users are maintained, but their AVATARS where extremely gone!

I tried uploading new avatar for myself and I’m surprised to see that it does actually accept the file/image.

Now my problem is I dont want to have this kind of behaviour, I want all my user to have one avatar in all the networks I have. Please help :). Thank you so much!

Ask in the BuddyPress support forums. It’s an error with BuddyPress.

This all works fine but for one problem (that seems to be purely aesthetic but rather disruptive on the page). On the dashboard for the wordpress subnetwork with buddypress activated, and on the actual pages themselves, I get the following error:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/avatars/1) is not within the allowed path(s): (/f5/mysite/:/nfsn/apps/php53/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php5/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php/lib/php/) in /f5/mysite/public/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 195

So again, this is displayed on the dashboard and on the pages (anywhere where there is an avatar).

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make this go away. The user avatars load fine, so I don’t know why there is an error anyway. I deactivated an uninstalled buddypress and re-installed/activated it again, but the problem persists.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

In reply to Amirtha.

From the first paragraph of the post above:

In WordPress, the networks are almost completely separated. The only thing that is shared between networks is the user infomation.

Hi,
I had created the multi social networking sites using buddypress. Each site is having some users. same users can be in both the sites. When i am seeing the members directory for all the networking sites in the web page, shows a list of all the users in all the networking site and not displaying the users particular to a networking site.
please help me.
