If you integrate BP into an existing theme, you probbly want to have the new pages generated from BP to look like the rest of yor site.

In order to do so, usually you need to structure the templates files that generate web pages, those in which you have:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Sometimes you have an unique design and a custom HTML structure.

One may have

<div id=”content”>…</div>

as content area.

Another may have

<div id=”main”>…</div>

as content area, for example.

Installing the plugin doesn’t do the work of making BP pages layout as WP pages.

You need to do it by hand.

And where are the files that you need to change?

In the list I provided above.

Simple piece of information, but probably useful.
