I have a previouslt existing wordpress based blog and I would like to feature it on the main page of BuddyPress. Is this possible and how do I do it? I don’t want to create a brand new blog on BuddyPress because the existing one has been around for over a year and I need to ensure the archives are transferred.

If you install BuddyPress you’re blog will remain the main blog and all your posts/authors/categories etc are still there.. It does not remove your existing blog, it simply adds social network functions to them!

Your WordPress theme can’t be used though, so you’ll might need to change the standard BP theme to fit your needs by creating a Child Theme.

Are you using WPMU or standard WP?

If you’re using WPMU, read what I just wrote here:
