Hi jhnpldng
I was thinking of going to multisite for a few reasons, the one big one is different themes or layouts for each branch of the site. Each sub site would carryover a similar theme to the main site but have different layouts based on whats running on the subs site.
I was able to pull this off somewhat with BBPress using a different page layout but haven’t been able to do the same with BuddyPress. For some reason I cannot change the default page type used and the social icons plugin I’m using for blog posts keeps popping up on the Buddypress pages where they shouldn’t.
I’m a bit of a WordPress Newbie and have been able to work out everything so far but thought breaking the site into different subsites might be easier to handle going forward. But in reading the MultiSite instructions it might be a little too powerful for what I’m trying to achieve and seems to not be as friendly to cross site plugin/data interactions as i originally thought.
