Suzanne, I have another WP blog and use: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/atahualpa

I’ve been over chatting on their forum and it looks like no one has formed a workable solution yet for a versatile design that effectively integrates BP.

I’ll keep looking as I’m not a coder but think I represent a typical user that wants to incorporate a flexible format. The Atahualpa is a good example…very versatile.

The BP plug-in has a lot of offer when thinking of the community theme.
