Artisteer – ouch! 
Tell me you don’t have a div id=”content” in your Artisteer and we could swing it by only adding two files to your Artisteer theme to make it compatible with BP. If not, we have to revise 16 files to make theme compatible with BP plus some styling tweaks and you’re done.
Go to pastebin.com
Open up your theme’s header.php, footer.php, index.php, page.php and sidebar.php
Copy source of header.php and paste it to pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URL here.
Same goes for the footer, index, page and sidebar
I understand you want to make all BuddyPress pages full-width. If it’s not-too-crazy do-able, I’ll post the how-to here. If not, I’ll let you know.
Cool, glad it worked out for you
Method 1 works all the time for all WP themes, while method 2 works for some WP themes depending on HTML structure.
Method 2 in short, uses the WP functions available for themes. Look at /activity/index.php and you’ll see header(‘buddypress’), sidebar(‘buddypress’) and footer(‘buddypress’) in the template files. If there’s a header-buddypress.php, in the WP/BP theme folder, then the BP template file would use header-buddypress.php. If there’s none, then the BP template file would use header.php by default.
TMA works with either method 1 or method 2. I gave the solution for method 2 because the HTML structure of TMA was suitable for that. Method 2 saves you from having to “fix alignment” for 16 BP template files again (which you have to do in method 1) when the BP Template Pack plugin is upgraded.
@jugularbean Re #1 – thanks for clarifying, just had to make sure
2. You don’t change the filenames, you replicate the file/s and rename as header-buddypress.php etc and should be saved in root of your TMA theme folder.
You’re in luck. We can use the second method to make TMA compatible with BuddyPress.
1. Open up TMA’s header.php with text editor and Save As > header-buddypress.php in TMA theme folder
2. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very end of the file:
`<?php global $woo_options;
//get_template_part( ‘top-banner’ );
?>
Save file.
Note: if the global woo_options wreaks havoc, delete from the code
3. Open up TMA’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php in TMA’s theme folder
4. Open up sidebar-buddypress.php
a. At the very beginning of the file, insert
`
`
b. At the very end of the same file, insert
`
`
Save file.
5. You might want to tweak the default styling of the BP template files. You can use the following style changes used in Twenty Ten theme as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
