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.
This is great news. Party on Boone!
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.
Just as I was getting ready to play with a BuddyPress install of mine this weekend.
r-a-y – Good call. I’ve updated the post.
Dimensionmedia – Party on, Garth! Er, I mean, David!
Thank you Boone, good news indeed 🙂
Cheers.

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

Hi Boone,
I’ve trying to download and install BuddyPress Template Pack, but it seems it is not present in WordPress.org anymore.
Where can I find it?
