This process requires a working knowledge of HTML and CSS at the very least and would recommend to keep backup of files you are going to modify.

To enable your Artisteer WordPress theme for BuddyPress, install and activate the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin

Log in in admin panel and click on Appearance > BP Compatibility and follow instructions to move folders to your theme folder and click on
Click on “Move Template Files” link
Templates moved successfully!

Step two

If you have already installed buddypress and have links in menu when you click on activity or any of the pages buddypress created you will see that you have full width page without side bars.

The normal buddypress template has this

[HEADER]

<div id=”container”>
<div id=”content”>
[PAGE CONTENT]
</div>

<div id=”sidebar”>
[SIDEBAR CONTENT]
</div>
</div>

[FOOTER]


If BuddyPress pages are not aligned correctly, then you may need to modify some of the templates to match your theme’s HTML structure. The best way to do this is to access your theme’s files.

Open the page.php file (if this does not exist, use index.php) of your active/preferred WP theme. Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the div tags that surround the content and sidebar.

To change the HTML structure in the following BuddyPress template files which were transferred into your active/preferred WP theme to match the structure of your WP theme’s page.php or index.php file.

  • Hey this worked charms the only issue is that you may have left out how to make the sidebar appear in the profiles section. Like the change avatar, edit profile, all those pages
    Any suggestions on how to do those ones? Thanks beforehand!

  • Connor Lee all you need to do is find the file that is creating that page and do same process as others the file will be in those folders that were transferred.
