BuddyPress.org

Hi, I’m new with Buddypress. I have a news site and I want to include Buddypress so that readers can register. Is there any way to exclude users from Buddypress? For example, I have authors who write on the site but I don’t want those authors to be part of Buddypress. With the plugin activated, all urls change to “mysite.com/members/username”. What I want is that the authors do not have Buddypress profiles and that their URLs do not change, that is, that they remain “mysite.com/author/username” and only the reading users are “mysite.com/members/username” . I have searched and found no solution. The closest I found is that the authors have a “mysite.com/members/author/username” type URL and the readers have a “mysite.com/members/subscribers/username” type URL, but I’m not looking for it exactly because I want to exclude to the authors of Buddypress and continue to maintain their url of current authors. I would be very grateful if you could help me with this.
