Permalinks setup with WP intalled in subdirectory and index.php in root
-
am running WP 2.9.2 / BP 1.2.2.1 and I got WP installed in a subdirectory (with index.php and .htaccess in the root).
Everything works as it should, except for this problem, which is probably due to the installation setup being in a subfolder, since other are experiencing problems with the same a setup.
I’d like to sort a few things out with such a setup, since I believe many are those who got WP in a subdirectory.
First, with WP installed in a subfolder you got this settings, right?:
• Site URL: http://mysite.com/folder
• BLog URL: http://mysite.com/folder
The results is that you have a permalin structure such as:
• and so on…
The problem is that whenever you navigate within the web pages generated by BP (you are in a BP component), you get this:
• http://mysite.com/folder/activity
• http://mysite.com/folder/members
• and so on…
Is there a way to have the same permalink structure as in WP pages?
Optionally, and ideally, would it be possible to have everything within BP to display with a base name? Like if you are running a regular site and want to create/enable a section of the site (not the whole site) for social network (BP components), that everything displays for example as:
• http://mysite.com/socialnetwork/activity
Thanks for helping. I am sure this is a piece of information useful to many.

Thanks for bumping this, I totally forgot about this thread!
bp_core_get_root_domain() uses the siteurl and not the blogurl.
Please try adding this to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
function my_bp_override_core_domain() {
$domain = get_bloginfo('url');
return $domain;
}
add_filter('bp_core_get_root_domain','my_bp_override_core_domain');I’m not 100% sure this will work and it might break your BP site or it might do nothing
If it breaks your site or if this doesn’t work, delete this snippet from bp-custom.php.

If you want to run BP from the “curemates” subdirectory, login to the WP backend, and change the blog URL setting to “http://cureuphoria.com/curemates/”, then rename the “site” folder in your FTP to “curemates”
This actually might be the easiest way to go about it. Try this method first!
Again, I’m probably missing something in my steps. But that should give you at least a starting point.
The rest you should be able to google up on the wp.org forums.
Oh okay… wasn’t sure if the “site” urls were giving you a 404.
If it doesn’t give you a 404 , leave it as-is! If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it
[EDIT]
Just checking out your site, it appears the “site” urls do not get redirected, they standalone on their own.
You might want to apply the redirect rules I wrote above, otherwise you’ll have duplicate content. Not a big deal though if you don’t care about that.

New activity stream entries will be correct. Old ones will not.
