    I will have multiple sites and yet have my members able to see each other’s profiles and communicate with each other. Can you give me some tips how to make this happen and point me to any documentation that may cover this in more detail? I have only seen this as remotely related and it does not offer much help https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/wp-multi-network-bp-multi-network

    I also want to avoid member ID collision where two different people happen to both want John123 as their ID. Do you have a suggestion how to assign a unique member ID by simply adding a number to their first name and confirm it’s unique for all multi-sites?

    I just need to get pointed in the right direction, I can figure this out if I just get a bit of coaching for this.  Thanks!

    I’ve decided to just assign unique member ID’s up front, I’ll use 3 capital letters and 3 numeric digits. If you can let me know where to write code to generate the unique ID up front that would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, I have written some code that generates a unique 5-character alphanumeric ID, I just need to know where to place it.

    Do you have any documentation on your best practices for modifying the code in a way that ensures it’s still easy to update to your newer versions later with minimal impact?

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi,

    Using wp multisite it’s impossible to have id collision or same user ID so there shouldn’t be a problem.

    You can read mode about multi-site here:
    https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/
    https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ultimate-guide-multisite/

    Also for BuddyPress, you can use this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/

    Cheers
