@r083r7 Hi. You’re right that BuddyPress loads page.php as its default page wrapper template. The list near the top of https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/ shows the entire template hierarchy. Adding a buddypress.php file to your theme should have it load that template.
This file should be in the root of your theme, or inside a subfolder called “buddypress”.
I forget how setting the page template in the wp-admin page editor works with BuddyPress (I think @hnla and I fixed it at a WordCamp a few years ago). But the stuff already mentioned will probably take precedence over it.
If this doesn’t work, I’m not sure.
