[Resolved] "Before Installing" question

The BuddyPress Before Installing documentation says “BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.” But the BuddyPress Installations section shows an example of WordPress installed in a subdirectory folder and where BuddyPress would be activated. Is that an example to stay away from? Or is it ok now? Also, the formatting on that section of the page is kind of messed up (main content overlaying the sidebar text).

“BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.”

@lwist That is true. Read the link about that specific WP install “in its own directory” https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory, it involves moving htaccess file and index.php from the subdirectory where WP is installed to domain root, among others. That scenario is totally different from installing WP in subdirectory e.g. example.com/buddypress and keeping every WP file in that subdirectory. There’s no conflict at all.

Looks fine to me in FF. What browser are you using?

Got it. Thanks for the clarification!

I’m using Chrome on a Mac. The Buddypress installation section of the before installing page looks like this for me:

Yup. Saw what you meant in Chrome. Will just have to reformat the info 🙂
Thanks @lwist
