I’ve failed guys.

I’ve been working on a new game site over at gameboxreviews.com. I was looking into ways to have my future community interact with me. I came across an achievement system known with BuddyPress. My current theme is not “Buddypress ready” and so I attempted to do a manual set up through what is known as BuddyPress Template Pack. I followed the steps to the best of my ability but this is just the part I do not understand at all:

You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file. The files that you need to edit are as follows (leave out any folders you have not copied over in step two):

/activity/index.php
/blogs/index.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/index.php
/groups/create.php
/groups/single/home.php
/groups/single/plugins.php
/members/index.php
/members/single/home.php
/members/single/plugins.php
/registration/register.php

My website isn’t aligning as it should. My website is GameBoxReviews.com

Help?

Are you using BuddyPress 1.5 – I ask as it would mean checking you are using the template pack for this latest version.

The process for the template pack is if it has file permissions it will put files in correct places – if it doesn’t you do. I assume you went through a manual one (ie; adding in yourself) however it seems perhaps you didn’t put them in the structure they were listed in the pack. / would be in this case the root or bottom folder of your theme ie; themename/

I just updated to it. So what you are telling me is that I should go into notepad, create these files with the proper coding and then add them to the root of my theme?
