    Tom posted an update: 1 year, 11 months ago

    So I built my BP site in a subfolder (mysite.com/bp) and now I’ve switched it live (mysite.com) using the wordpress feature where your homepage is different from your wordpress directory (by working the htaccess and wp-header and settings in Admin-General). Now the only problem is, any and all buddypress links point to ”mysite.com/bp/xyz”. Help!

      You shouldn’t have built your BP site in a subfolder…

          If you tested BP in a subfolder, you would have known that all BP links would reside in that sub-directory.

          Did you install BP in WPMU or standard WP?

            I didn’t realize BP wasn’t like wp. I am using Standard WP. I just figured as with standard, I could have wordpress/buddypress reside in a subfolder and use the settings-general page to move everything to my root .com folder. I’m just looking for mysite.com/members/a-member vs mysite.com/folder/members/a-member

              It <strong<is like WP… BP is just a plugin for WP.
              You installed WP in a sub folder, so your pages would exist like mysite.com/wp/page-slug.

              If you have WP installed in the root, just install BP there.
              Of course, you should test all your changes somewhere before deploying your site live.
