I want Buddypress to work within a template

I activated Buddypress, and tried to set it up so that you could click on a menu item to get to it. Unfortunately, it took over the entire site. How do I make it work within the site?

Something’s getting lost in translation or context. What theme are you using? Could you be more specific about What you mean “make it work within the site”?

I am using a theme called Valor from Themeforest.net (http://themeforest.net/item/valor-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3741916).

I created a Menu item called “Dream Bank”. I want site visitors to be able to come to http://www.glassworksdream.com and click on the “Dream Bank” menu item. Then, I want them to be asked to register for the Buddypress section of the site.

When I installed and activated Buddypress, instead of that happening, the Valor template was deactivated, and Buddypress became my site template.

Probably because when you went through the installation wizard at Step 4, you clicked Save without noticing that the button was checked for BP Default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/#step-4-choose-theme-to-use-for-your-bp-install

Just go to Appearance > Themes to select your WP theme, then install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin, and finally go through Appearance > BP compatibility process.
