BuddyPress.org

Hey guys.

I’m switching a social site I own over to buddy press. The theme I’m using requires permalinks to be set to post name. That’s fine– but it makes profiles appear like:

http://domain.com/members/username

I need the user URLs to remain the same as the current site’s structure of

http://domain.com/username

It was achieved like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([/]*)$ members/$1

But with the post name permalinks it just 404’s. How can I modify this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

To achieve my goal? I’m using the latest wordpress and latest buddypress. Thanks so much for any help.
