Buddypress conflicts with my theme

Hi Guys

I am running BP 1.7 and WP 3.5.2. I purchased a premium theme called Bolid: http://themeforest.net/item/bolid-responsive-news-magazine-and-blog-theme/4361177

I am very happy with the theme and the developer has been very helpful. The problem is on our website ALL of our buddypress pages are messed up. The footer is being thrown to the right of the screen. The only pages on our site with this problem are the Buddypress Pages (including the registration page).

Here is the home page with the footer appearing normally: http://themenscentre.ca/

Now here are some of the buddypress pages: http://themenscentre.ca/groups/
http://themenscentre.ca/the-clubhouse/whatup-wall/
http://themenscentre.ca/the-clubhouse/members/

You get the idea… Now the only pages affected are the BP pages and ALL the BP pages are like this. I contacted the theme developer and this is what they said:

“The problem comes from some plugin inserted on these pages. # core div is missing from these pages”

Which plugin(s) are causing this and how do I fix it?

Thanks!

@nanaimomen The problem is more like the theme is using a proprietary templating system. BuddyPress works in nearly all WordPress themes. Regular WP tags like the_title() and the_content() should be in the theme’s page.php file for the BP Theme Compatibility magic to work, i.e., you no longer need to revise 16 template files manually like before.

To resolve your issue, open up your theme’s page.php file and Save As > buddypress.php and ask the theme author to replace theme’s corresponding tags with the_title() and the_content(). Upload that updated buddypress.php file into your theme’s folder in server and you should be good to go.
