Buddy Press Nightmare Please Help

[JasonRae]

I had several pages that were in the top five spots on google and the only thing I changed on my site was adding buddypress so I can have a social community.  I checked my campaign and realized I had 560 errors with duplicate content and my rankings dropped down passed 50 spots.  Huge drop.  I am taking buddypress down but does anyone know how to fix the duplicate content issue.

1. Do I just delete all the pages?

2. 301 redirect them to home?

Any help would be amazing.

Thanks

Why not keep Buddypress, but disallow search-bot traffic to the root directory where it resides? You can easily do that in robots.txt.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /buddy-press-directory/
