BuddyPress.org

@jad117, I hope this helps, and please let me know with another mention if not.

Basically the first step is to create a blank file called bp-custom.php and save it as /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. You can learn more about this file at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/ and what it does and all.

Then, in that file (or in your theme’s functions.php file) you can paste certain bits of PHP code that have become known as hacks or tricks in order to make BuddyPress act a little differently. One such trick is to move around the tabs and redirect people so that group links like http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/ would actually redirect to http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/ instead of showing http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/home/ as it does now.

The code I gave earlier does this and like myself, some others after me have offered various improvements or changes, so I’d try them each out and see what works best for your setup. You can only have one function of each name at a time or you’ll get an error. You can also visit http://bp-tricks.com/featured/feature-forums-noticed/ for how the author of that post does this “trick” and see some comments there as well, as that is a site devoted to finding just the right trick to get BuddyPress to do exactly what you want!

I hope that helps, and as I said, if not, write back at me, and I’ll try to answer any questions you have!

Thanks,
Andrew
