+2. Visit 'Settings > BuddyPress > Components' and adjust the active components to match your community. (You can always toggle these later.)
+3. Visit 'Settings > BuddyPress > Pages' and setup your directories and special pages. We create a few automatically, but suggest you customize these to fit the flow and verbiage of your site.
+4. Visit 'Settings > BuddyPress > Settings' and take a moment to match BuddyPress's settings to your expectations. We pick the most common configuration by default, but every community is different.
+
+= Once Configured =
+
+* BuddyPress comes with a robust theme-compatibility API that does its best to make every BuddyPress page look and feel right with just-about any WordPress theme. You may need to adjust some styling on your own to make everything look pristine.
+* A few BuddyPress specific themes are readily available for download from WordPress.org, and hundreds more are available from third-party theme authors. BuddyPress themes are just WordPress themes with additional templates for each component, and with a little work you could easily create your own too!
+* BuddyPress also comes with built-in support for Akismet and bbPress, two very popular and very powerful WordPress plugins. If you're using either, visit their settings pages and ensure everything is configured to your liking.
+
+= Multisite & Multiple Networks =
+
+BuddyPress can be activated and operate in just about any scope you need for it to.
+
+* Activate at the site level to only load BuddyPress on that site.
+* Activate at the network level for full integration with all sites in your network. (This is the most common multisite installation type.)
+* Enable <a href="https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/bp_enable_multiblog/">multiblog"</a> mode to allow your BuddyPress content to be displayed on any site in your WordPress Multisite network, using the same central data.
+* Extend BuddyPress with a third-party multi-network plugin to allow each site or network to have an isolated and dedicated community, all from the same WordPress installation.
