Re: Making BuddyPress ready Themes
Here’s another way of using your current WordPress theme with BuddyPress – http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/ See popular WP themes converted- http://bp-theme-converts.com/category/bpthemes/
As for BP Template Pack, it needs to be updated whether it’s for someone who knows how to code or for those who don’t know how to code. Check out Kobe Bryant’s site which uses BP Template Pack http://kb24.com/ specifically for BP components.
