Thank you ever so much @mercime, I would have never known to deactivate bo compatibility. My buddypress pages seem to be fine now, and I am using r-a-y’s awesome article to just add a few touch ups to the buddypress stuff. I was so frustrated by this issue and everywhere I looked I could not find a solution, I was starting to think I am stupid. Thank you thank you thank you…

I’m sorry to have taken such nab with low emotional intelligence at the documentation, truly I am at a loss of understanding as to why such a powerful product is available under a GPL license, I guess I don’t fully understand the open source philosophy (PS: I’ve been reading your posts over the years Hugo and am a great fan, pity I started off on the wrong foot) –

That aside, in my retraction of such careless words born out of frustration, I must say that the documentation seems very professional and concise, though I also feel it could be a little more detailed.

I’m personally an average everything, I did a multimedia diploma that I dropped out of and never really excelled at anything. I did php during those days too but just barely passed with a 50% or something.

Nevertheless, it is my view that the documentation should be able to lead someone with at least my little experience to getting the job done, it should be just a little bit more detailed, I would suggest print-screens of every step just to be safe.

“Not really sure what you mean here, think you need to explain in detail what file structure and locations”

Okay, under fixing alignment there is a sentence:

Open up the page.php file (if this does not exist, use index.php). Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the <div> tags that surround the content and sidebar.

When I open my page.php file from my FTP client at the root of my theme folder what I see from page.php is the following code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(‘top’); ?>
<?php

if (have_posts()) {
/* Start the Loop */
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_template_part(‘content’, ‘page’);
/* Display comments */
if (theme_get_option(‘theme_allow_comments’)) {
comments_template();
}
}
} else {
theme_404_content();
}
?>
<?php get_sidebar(‘bottom’); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

In that code, (Forgive me if my understanding is lost here) there is not even one Div tag, infact, there is no HTML code in that file at all, even the index.php(the one in my themes root folder) file looks closely similar to the file above, here is its contents:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(‘top’); ?>
<?php
if (have_posts()) {
/* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */
if (theme_get_option(‘theme_’ . (theme_is_home() ? ‘home_’ : ”) . ‘top_posts_navigation’)) {
theme_page_navigation();
}
/* Start the Loop */
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
get_template_part(‘content’, get_post_format());
}
/* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */
if (theme_get_option(‘theme_bottom_posts_navigation’)) {
theme_page_navigation();
}
} else {
theme_404_content();
}
?>
<?php get_sidebar(‘bottom’); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Perhaps I am using the wrong page.php file, but that would not make sense because I used the directory address provided by BP-Compatibility on the fixing alignment section.
