    I just installed Buddypress on a theme and nothing will show up correctly for the pages for buddypress. Have a look collegenightowl dot com and I don’t know what they mean by re-aligning them seems a lot harder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Did you install the Buddypress Template Pack Plugin? If you are using a theme that doesn’t have buddypress functionality baked in by default, you need to install this plugin and run through the steps to enable compatibility. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

    I did do that. I just deactivated the plugin. Everything was spread all throughout the page. I tried to re-activate it but now it wont even show anything

    Under Buddypress / Pages, have you created all of the requisite pages for Activity, Groups, Members, etc.? I don’t understand “Everything was spread all throughout the page”. You’ll need that template pack enabled, and it needs to move some components into your active theme. Did you run through the 4 step process?

    It’s a beautiful theme you’ve got going there, but I have honestly never had much luck converting a non-bp theme to be truly bp compatible without a lot of massaging. It’s not a plug and play process, hence the default theme. You may want to consider creating a child theme of the default: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

    Thanks and yea I went through the whole process. It just wasn’t aligning correctly. Decided to just scrap it for this project.

    @mac02 check if we have “template-packed” your WP theme from list near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
