Can I create template parts instead of full page?

Hi,

I have created a buddypress.php file in root of my theme to setup general page and sidebar. This template uses the_content() so all the normal buddypress stuff loads up.

I want to now offer my own files for the various template parts but I am doing something wrong.

For instance, if I add this template part: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/index-component-profile.php it does not load it as a template part, it loads it as a full page template.

I don’t want to create full template for every component, I want to make buddypress use the template parts.

In the default theme inside plugin folder this is how it seems to work. Can I do it like this or do I have to use filters or something? The main plugin uses locate_template() to load all of these so I guess it’s possible, I am just not sure of the easiest/best way.

How do I just build my templates for various sections?

Thanks

If my-theme/buddypress/members/single/index-component-profile.php
is your version of my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php
then don’t use a different file name.

It’s much easier to do a template overload.

Thanks. I was getting all sort of conflicting advice but realised my mistake. I copied parts of legacy folder to my theme and it’s all simple to edit now. The fact default is called legacy and legacy is called default confused me so I had not taken right approach but it’s my fault for not reading carefully enough.
