Re: Help with making ”udesign” theme BP compatible ( help with step three ) !
There are two methods to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, what you choose will depend on the current HTML structure of your WP theme:
A. First method – changing 16 BP template files transferred to your WP theme folder during the BP compatibility process
— Example using Motion theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
B. Second method – creating header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php and adding to your WP theme folder which already contains the BP template folders after compatibility process.
— Example using Twenty Ten: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/
— Example using Twenty Eleven: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/
All themes can use First Method but only some themes can use Second Method. If you need assistance in analyzing if you can use the Second Method for your theme, please post codes of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php, index.php, page.php, and footer.php in respective pastebin.com pages.
