Can I integrate BP into my custom WP Theme?

I’m a newbie who’s built a custom WP Theme but am having problems installing BP into the WP Theme. I am assuming I should have built the website on a BP Theme from the start because if I use the default WP 2011 Theme, BP still won’t install.

Should I just start customize an existing BP Theme? Or can I use my existing WP Theme?

It shouldn’t be too hard to adapt your own theme using the buddypress template pack and the codex guide

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/ might be useful, particularly if your theme is based on either…

An Alternative to that, and if you aren’t happy with any of the buddypress themes, is to build a child of bp-default. A good place to start is: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
