[Plugin: BuddyPress Template Pack] Can't find bp-themes

  • I am having trouble with installing. I have the latest version of WP, BuddyPress Template Pack installed and activated, and BuddyPress installed and activated.

    The trouble I have is that when I activate BuddyPress Template pack, and it says it is going to walk me through the steps/compatability, it gets stuck at the step where it says that I have to manually upload to …/bp-themes. It seems it can’t move templates to the theme folder. So when I actually examine my file structure, via FTP, I look in wp-config and there is bp-themes folder to be found. So I can’t complete this step. I’ve looked everywhere for bp-themes (I do see the default BP theme installed when I choose “themes” from the dashboard).

    Specifically, the message I get is: You have activated the BuddyPress Template Pack, but you haven’t completed the setup process. Visit the BP Compatibility page to wrap up. When that doesn’t work automatically, it says I have to locate the following which does not exist:

    You will need to connect to your WordPress files using FTP. When you are connected browse to the following directory:

    /home/healthyw/public_html/homewoodconnect.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/

    Any thoughts on what is going on and how I properly finalize this installation?

    Thank you.

    Hi dell21000,

    The problem you’re getting is because the plugin was unable to move the templates to your theme.

    This can’t really be done through the WP admin dashboard I’m afraid.

    You’ll have to either download a FTP program or login to your hosting provider’s control panel where you can view your files and manually move the templates over from:

    /home/healthyw/public_html/homewoodconnect.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/

    to:

    /home/healthyw/public_html/homewoodconnect.com/wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/

    Here’s a YouTube video explaining how to use FileZilla, a FTP program, to view the files on your server:

    Hope that helps in some way!

    [EDIT]
    The /bp-themes/ folder is located within the BuddyPress plugin folder:
    /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes
