Hi,

I know this topic has been referenced before, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I am running WP 3.01 and buddypress 1.2.5.2.
I would like to run buddypress out of a subdirectory as a separate blog rather than trying to integrate it into my existing site. http://www.mysite.com/buddypress

The goal being to be running two separate themes, my current site theme (www.mysite.com) and buddypress theme (mysite.com/buddypress)

I would love to keep both buddypress and my theme in the same database so I can have keep it to one login for users.

As I’m sure people can tell from this post I only have a basic understanding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike

@mdehart85 With WP 3.0.1 you can go mulisite in subdirectory mode then, as @pcwriter mentioned above, install BP in secondary blog. You can have different themes on each site.

If for your own reasons you still want the separate WP blogs using same database – read this. Make sure that both WP installs are working before installing BP in the 2nd WP install.
