    I have buddypress installed and everything seems to be working fine… It just isn’t compatible with my theme “collection” theme-junkies”. I guess it would just be a matter of having someone with experience with editing the buddypress templates. I have contacted “theme-junkies” but they don’t have any experience with buddypress to help . If this is something that you could get done for me, I would be willing to send you $20. I am in despite need of getting this corrected.

    You need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin first http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

    Download the 6 BP folders transferred to your collection theme in server down to your computer hard drive. Looking at the source codes you’ve posted above, you have to use the first method – changing 16 template files inside those 6 BP folders as noted in codex link above.

    Before going into this though, did you know that when viewed at wide screen, your site layout is aligned to the left i.e. not centered in screen? Also, that when your site is viewed at 1024px, the right side drops down under the main content div area?

    Yes, I have bp template pack installed already and have the pages set, but the problem I am having is any changes I am making to any of the templates there is nothing changing in the source online.

    I have changed the templates located in the following location:

    wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
    wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/templates
    wp-content/themes/collection/

    each on of those locations had the 6 folders “activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration” in them so I changed all the divs in the indexes and still nothing has changed.

    Anyone have an other ideas… I am totally lost on how or where to change the template at to fix the site.

    You don’t change the files in bp-default theme nor in BP Template Pack.

    You only change the 16 files within the 6 folders transferred to your WP theme, Collection, in server.

    Download the 6 folders from your collection theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive.

    At the TOP of all 16 files , replace:

    <?php get_header( 'buddypress' ); ?>
    // different do_action in different template files
    <div id="content">
    <div class="padder">

    with the following:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="primary" class="hfeed">

    Then change page title header tags from <h3> and </h3> to <h1 class="entry-title"> and </h1> in the 16 template files where appropriate.

    At the BOTTOM of all 16 files , replace:

    </div><!-- .padder -->
    </div><!-- #content -->
    // different do_action for each template file
    <?php get_sidebar( 'buddypress' ); ?>
    <?php get_footer( 'buddypress' ); ?>

    with the following (except for registration/register.php)

    </div><!-- #primary .hfeed -->
    <div id="single-right-sidebar">
    <?php if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar('Page Sidebar - Right') ): ?>
    <?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Text', 'title=Page Sidebar - Right&text=You could add some widgets in this area.', 'before_title=<h3 class="widget-title">&after_title=</h3>'); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div><!-- #single-right-sidebar -->
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    with the following for registration/register.php

    </div><!-- #primary .hfeed -->
    <div id="single-right-sidebar">
    <?php if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar('Page Sidebar - Right') ): ?>
    <?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Text', 'title=Page Sidebar - Right&text=You could add some widgets in this area.', 'before_title=<h3 class="widget-title">&after_title=</h3>'); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div><!-- #single-right-sidebar -->
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    		jQuery(document).ready( function() {
    			if ( jQuery('div#blog-details').length && !jQuery('div#blog-details').hasClass('show') )
    				jQuery('div#blog-details').toggle();
    			jQuery( 'input#signup_with_blog' ).click( function() {
    				jQuery('div#blog-details').fadeOut().toggle();
    			});
    		});
    	</script>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Disclaimer: might work or might not on the first pass. Let me know.

    Wow, I am ever so close now I can taste it. The user information is on the top, but the body of the plugin is still under the left nav. Here is a look at what I have now. http://www.stunodracing.com/members/stunod/activity/

    I could send you the ftp information if this is something you could do for me?

    Thanks for your time and help,
    Adam

    @stunod85 congratulations. Looks like you’ve fixed it yourself :-)

    To eliminate the list styles which appear in groups, members and activity lists, you can add this to your stylesheet:

    ul.item-list li,
    ul.item-list.activity-list li {
    	list-style: none;
    }
