Thank you, this was exactly what I needed.  My solution, if anyone is interested, is that I changed the groups_check_slug($slug) function in:

…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php

 

function groups_check_slug( $slug ) {

global $bp;

 

if ( 'wp' == substr( $slug, 0, 2 ) )

$slug = substr( $slug, 2, strlen( $slug ) - 2 );

 

if ( in_array( $slug, (array) $bp->groups->forbidden_names )) {

bp_core_add_message( __( 'Sorry, that group name is reserved.  Please try again.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

 

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . '/create/step/' . bp_get_groups_current_create_step() . '/' );

 

}

if ( BP_Groups_Group::check_slug( $slug ) ) {

do {

bp_core_add_message( __( 'Sorry, that group name is already taken. Please try again.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

 

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . '/create/step/' . bp_get_groups_current_create_step() . '/' );

 

}

while ( BP_Groups_Group::check_slug( $slug ) );

}

 

return $slug;

}

I have since realized that this is a core WordPress Multisite behavior and that I cannot change the url/directory structure for subsites.

In case anyone is interested, and I know it is not the best workaround, but what I did was to edit

…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php

and add the following code after retrieving the group object in the groups_delete_group( $group_id ) function.


//remove associated group blog

$groupblog_blog_id = get_groupblog_blog_id($bp->groups->current_group->id);;

if ($groupblog_blog_id){

require (ABSPATH. 'wp-admin/includes/ms.php');

wpmu_delete_blog( $groupblog_blog_id, $drop = true);

}
