I submitted the original post on this issue. I did what was suggested above by mdpane to add a “bp-custom.php” in your plugins folder which will force WP to load it.
For the first time, I can see the connect theme in my WordPress dashboard but when I activated it, on my home page I have a blank screen with a few text links on the left. So this did not fix the problem.
I am not as techie as most of you so I just wanted to purchase a ready made template to use that I thought would be easy to install. Now I have a big problem and less money. It would seem that if a host provider connects to other providers for people like myself to install in “one click” themes from third parties, all of these technical solutions would work together.
I don’t really know what to do now. I have contacted tech support here, MOJO, Bluehost, and the theme author WeSmashedIt and no one has a workable solution.
