Thanks Andrea and Xevo

So, as long as there is no intention to use domain mapping and the folder name in the URL is acceptable, it will work OK.

Many thanks.

Thanks Seobrien.

I understand and appreciate your comment but was wondering whether there is a technical reason why Mu or BP should need to reside in root.

As far as I remember, there was always a risk of things not working if it was run from a directory, either in Mu/BP it/themselves or perhaps with plugins but I am no longer sure why or what. (I am coming back a bit to both after looking at other things).

Basically – and notwithstanding your SEO comment – I would prefer having any CMS in a directory to give me the freedom to have whatever I may choose on the root index page.

Again, many thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Xevo – The vague idea was for very many fewer sites and blogs than that, but your point is taken.

Andrea – No, it is on a VPS. It was actually following some of your posts on other sites which made me have a look at Multi-Site Manager.

DJPaul – Thanks for the link. Had not seen that and it has sparked off another idea. So, you can have BuddyPress sites within BuddyPress sites, eh?

Is that OK to do?

If I spent as much time actually writing blogs as playing with ideas, the database might actually be in danger of filling up.

Thanks again everyone.
