    My website has a theme that works well in wordpress but it works well in buddypress. So I wanted to leave my home in the theme and buddypress leave the default theme, is to do this with or without the help of a plugin?

    You’re talking about separating your WordPress blog from BuddyPress?

    If you’re using WPMU, you can do this:

    First, make a backup of your existing theme and I’m guessing here but…

    You might be able to just take your existing WP theme and make it a child theme of bp-default. This should cause WP to go looking in the bp-default theme directory for anything not defined in your main WP theme directory.

    Some stuff will break. Fixing it might be difficult. I haven’t tried this so good luck and make a backup first. :)

    Oh, and let us know how it goes. ;)

    Swapping header.php on the blog files so it calls different CSS?

    @Modemlooper Shucks, that’s too easy. ;)
