Hello All,

My buddy press installation is on my ‘root’ folder http://domain.com/

I would like my main page to be something else like “index2.php”

I saw a forum “how-to” post here before but I cant find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’d suggest using a child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ You’ll just want to override the index.php and you can make it look however you want.

I would rather have the MAIN site direct to a different page? Anyone have ideas how to do this? HTACCESS ?

When you override the index.php you can remove ALL of the BP/WP code and make it look like whatever you want. Otherwise, you can use the bp_core_redirect (I think that’s the function) that could redirect the main page to a different page.
