How to access home page while using another theme

I have a wordpress-mu theme operating on a customized theme. I am new to buddypress. I have it all installed and now I want to make one of my wordpress-mu subpages the main page for the buddypress home. I thought about renaming the subpage to “members” but that isn’t exactly the home for the social networking. How do I get my buddypress theme index.php to show up on my mydomain.com/subpage URL?

You can use http redirects

I’m trying to avoid doing a redirect. Is there another way? Would it interfere with any of the functions if I took the index.php from the buddypress home theme and added it as a new template like so:

<?php

/*

Template Name: Home Page

*/

?>

and then assign my /subpage to use that template?

Hey pollyplummer,

I replied to a similar post:

But you have the right idea!

Thanks for that link- it was very helpful. I’m spending the most time copying functions to the widgets file and renaming css conflicts with my theme.
