add this to your bp-custom.php or functions.php file:

/*Define slugs*/
define(‘BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG’, ‘example’); /* this will show up as http://yourdomain.com/example */

/*Add slug as a root component*/
function page_setup_root_component()
{
bp_core_add_root_component( BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘page_setup_root_component’, 2 );

/*Show defined slug*/
function bp_show_page() {
global $bp, $current_blog;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
bp_core_load_template( ‘example’, true ); /*replace example with the name that of the template you upload*/
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_show_page’, 2 );

/*For extra functionality you can add a title for that page*/
function page_titles( $title, $b ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_Example_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example’, ‘buddypress’ ); /*change Example with what you want the title of your page to be*/
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_page_title’, ‘page_titles’, 10, 2 );

now create an example.php file and add this to it:

get the header with the get_header() bp function

Hello im an example page

testing to see if this works

get the footer with the get_footer() bp function

then upload it to the root of the bp-default theme, it should be at the same level as where the header.php, footer.php files etc.. are
now go to http://yourdomain.com/example and see if it shows..

remember to replace ‘example’ throughout the code with what you want your slug/page to be, the template (example.php or whatever you will call it) that you upload to the theme should be the same as what you call on this line above>> bp_core_load_template( ‘example’, true );

if its working, go ahead and customize as ud like
hope this helps, it works for me, dont know a way to do it through wordpress though as wordpress will load page.php for every page you create so you cant really customize it..

You don’t need any of that code above. You can easily create a page using WP page templates.

Can we at least get blockquotes working in the forums? This is ridiculous. Changing it to italics above.

kses.php, as I recall.

@stwc I believe all the Automattic are at WCSF so I doubt anything will get fixed this weekend

@stwc as i stated above, i did not know how to do it through wp, i tried using the wp codex for creating a page template but it didnt seem to be working for me, so instead i used the code above which was provided by john james jacoby in a previous forum topic
as the question above that he asked was: “is they’re any way you can edit it through a text editor rather than dashboard. Or is there any known way of how to solve this problem”

but then again you could use the BP-SEO plugin for that i think

: “is they’re any way you can edit it through a text editor rather than dashboard. Or is there any known way of how to solve this problem”

I tire of trying to parse through the mangled English we see here sometimes to tease out intended meaning. Also, I believe the question was edited since first posted.

The answer to that questions is: of course, any good FTP client will let you do that kind of thing. My preferred tools: get the WinSCP FTP client, get Notepad++ and set it as the text editor for WinSCP, double click on any PHP (or whatever) file on your site through the FTP client, it’ll open locally in Notepad++, when you hit save it’ll automatically upload the file. Boom, done.
