Hi abcaa6!

There are just a few themes right now that are meant to work with 1.1 unless you make som modifications. So (I assume) DjPaul is advising you to use the default theme template and not others (or the only other one found at buddypress.org/extent/themes/).

The parent theme + its child is one of the few that works right now. Unless you rebuild it yourself:

I’m off trying that myself right now. Cya folks!
