Hey,

The title says it all, I need help! I made a custom WordPress template for a diabetic social network site! However I want to use it with BuddyPress now!

Anyone able to help? or instructions on how to do this?

Thanks in advanced!

You can try the BP Template Pack plugin combined with your WordPress theme:

Most likely, some tweaking will need to be made to the BuddyPress templates that get imported into your theme once you use the plugin.

Thanks, so it is possible?

I’ve just tested that out and it does it, just got to scale the size down for the forum, groups, and other features! However I can’t see the code to scale the size down a bit, you know where that would be?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean. I’m guessing the layout is messed up on your BuddyPress pages.
Like I eluded to earlier, you’ll have to modify the BuddyPress templates in your theme to make it look the same as the rest of your site.

Step 3 in BP Template Pack should have outlined these steps. If you have no experience working with themes, you might find this a little daunting.

Never mind dude, Don’t even know what I was asking myself, lol!

Yeah I just tried it on a crappy template from WordPress and done it all fine! I have experiance on themes, coded my own one into WordPress so didn’t find it hard once started!

Thanks again
