• Hey, I am trying to use buddypress in my site, and had to install “buddypress templates pack” since my theme doesnt automatically support buddypress. The instructions skip right to step 3 and are very unclear on what it is i am supposed to do to get it aligned with my site.

    any suggestions?

  • There’s a BP Template Pack Walkthrough in BP Codex which would give you some hints on how to proceed.

    I am using buddypress on my website and once you moved your files using template pack you can add buddypress pages using custom menu if your theme supports custom menu.

    Check my site out click on my name here and see how I have setup members will have everything buddypress offers in memebrs area.

    i can activate it… can you tell me what time you will be able to take a look? and i can make sure i activate it for that time. I dont want to leave it activated when i don’t have to though because it makes my site look awful right now since it is not aligned

    let me know if you have time to look at it and let me know when

    thanks so much

    <?php if(get_admin_options('chkcommentspages') != '') 
    
    {
    
    ?>
    
    <?php
    
    $mywp_version = get_bloginfo('version');
    
    if ($mywp_version >= '2.7') {
    
    comments_template('', true);
    
    } else {
    
    comments_template();
    
    }
    
    ?>

    		<?php endwhile; ?>
    
    	    <?php else : ?>
    
    		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
    
    		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
    
    	   <?php endif; ?>
    
    <div class="pagenextback">
    
    <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
    
    </div>
    
    </div> <!-- end of contentouter -->
    
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    
    </div> <!-- end of midcontainerdiv -->
    
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Once you have moved the buddypress files over to your theme and you come step 3 and all you need to do is add them in menu as custom link for the buddypress modules you have activated.
