2. Copy header.php from bp-default and paste in your child theme folder.

3. Open up header.php in your child theme folder. In the area below and insert the code in bold below.
`
<li class=”selected”><a href="” title=””>
- class=”selected”><a href="/about/” title=””>

Are you using a child theme of bp-default or a WordPress theme with BP template pack plugin activated?

EDIT – pcwriter, didn’t see you there. Bad habit of mine to take phone calls and chatting first before answering forum post 
I installed buddypress on an existing wordpress installation. I have set up a few groups that members can post in, however when I am logged in as admin I only see an option to view, or delete the post. I just want to edit it so it conforms to my blog policy..But I cannot see anywhere to do that.
Hi, thanks for your response. Not sure I understand what you mean. I installed buddypress from the “add plugin” option. Do you mean the primary site setting? That is indeed set to: http://www.domain.com/wordpress/.
Can I not use buddypress with multiple sites? I don’t mind if the user configurations are stored on the primary site, but I want the users to be directed back to their own site when they login…
What you’re essentially doing is adding a new component. See https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/ for some inspiration. Or, for something a little simpler, see how BP itself does it. Look in bp-friends.php for an easy example. The key functions are: friends_setup_globals(), friends_setup_nav(), and the screen functions referred to in friends_setup_nav(). Copy those to your own plugin file, change the function names (so you don’t get fatal errors) and then play around.
@naijaping : I think you overestimate my coding abilities . While I’m familiar with PHP, the hooks and whatnot in WordPress and BB are a step beyond what I have the time to get my head around.
@nahummadrid : would love to see anything you get working.
Have you tried:http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/
I add the buddypress main ‘pages’ I need (forums only) in the settings. One can set the priority there as wel….

I’m going to come across a bit cold hearted here and say ‘Google Is Your Friend’. You will need to research these aspects to get familiar with what you need to do, this forum is for BP support and guiding on how to install a site to a server is a little outside of it’s remit (WP codex may have some guides?)
Essentially your hosts are only saying what they all will, when you set up a shared hosting account you are provided with a control panel along with url and login plus ftp access to your web directory.
CPanel is designed to be used by non technical users, it is a point and click interface to server management and pretty easy to use, you just need to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with it. For ftp you will need a client e.g filezilla to use to upload your site files (or you can use the cPanel filemanager upload capabilities, either way it’s not hugely difficult. Your database will also be set up via cPanel, then it’s simply a case of running the WP installer when the site files are in place and you have pointed a domain name to your provided IP.
The nesting of the sites themselves comes from WordPRess with multisite enabled. BP only does the community parts.
Thanks for the comment. But how does that explain the fact the there are two different functions that both return collections of members; but that each function returns a different member class with different fields/properties available?
Is this a purposeful design pattern common to PHP or WordPress apps? or is it just a product of open source development and the lack of an over riding design model?
