BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1
May 27, 2011 in News
I’ve just released version 1.1 of the BuddyPress Template Pack. BP Template Pack is a plugin that provides you with the necessary templates to make your existing WordPress theme BP-compatible. The plugin now provides templates that are 100% up-to-date with the latest stable release of BuddyPress, which means that users will get all of the features and AJAX niceties enjoyed by sites that use the bp-default theme.
Those upgrading from an older version of the BuddyPress Template Pack can replace their existing BP templates, using the “Reset” button at Dashboard > BP Compatibility. Keep in mind that you’ll need to delete the BP template folders from your active theme (activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, registration) – for purposes of safety, this is must be done manually via FTP. Remember to back up any changes that you’ve made to these template files before deleting.
EDIT: As r-a-y points out, it’s a very smart idea to *back up* or *rename* your existing template directories instead of simply deleting them. Test this on a development installation before you do anything in a production environment, if you can.

I would strongly advise users to backup their BP template folders, instead of removing them.
This is especially important if you’ve done any customizations to these templates.

Hi, The image in the front page is shown in safari. To be opensource and free I suggest you to change it to firefox. Safari = Mac. Firefox = opensource. Just an idea. Cheers, Enrique
