Problems configuring multi-site membership

Hi there
I’m running a multi-site at digitalscot.net.
One of the sub-sites is /cloud, mapped to digitalscot.cloud.
When you visit digitalscot.cloud/members, it says ‘no members’, even though there are four members of this sub-site.
What’s going wrong?
thanks, Neil.

    Hi Neil McEvoy

    I hope you’re well today!

    I see that BuddyPress isn’t network-enabled on this setup so I’m assuming it’s enabled on the sub-site in question but is it active only on that sub-site or on some other sub-sites too separately?

    I’m asking because on Multisite BuddyPress can “out of the box” be enabled either for entire network (network-enabled) or for only one site (but not multiple sub-sites separately) and, additionally, if it’s not a main site, there should be this line added to the “wp-config.php” file:

    define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', '123' );

    where 123 should be replaced with ID of that sub-site.

    Otherwise, if BuddyPress is just enabled for multiple sub-sites, separately “per site” it might lead to various unexpected/unpredictable issues. It is possible to achieve such setup but it would require additional plugin.

    That said, can you confirm that BuddyPress is active only on that sub-site in question (and no other sub-site) and aforementioned line is present in “wp-config.php” file?

    If it’s a different configuration, could you please describe it a bit more?

    Kind regards,
    Adam
