Editing Profile Page Layout

I have a custom WP theme that I am trying to integrate with BuddyPress. I ran the Compatibility plugin and everything seemed to work out okay. I created a new child theme and referenced the bp-default theme, and transferred all my original theme files to the new child theme folder.

Most of my styling seems to be working right, and my previously created pages are present. However, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to edit the layout and structure of the BP-specific pages, such as the profile page. I need to edit the template so I can customize my setup.

How do I edit the profile page layout?

== “I created a new child theme and referenced the bp-default theme, and transferred all my original theme files to the new child theme folder.” ==

However, you also mentioned before that that you have WP theme with BP template pack. So for a sanity check –

a) What do you mean by “referenced the bp-default theme”?

b) if you created a child theme of your custom WP theme, then yes you need to activate BP Template Pack and go through the BP compatibility process.

c) if you create a child theme of bp-default theme, then yes, you need to reference/add “Template:bp-default” in your stylesheet but you should not use the BP Template Pack plugin

== … BP-specific pages, such as the profile page. I need to edit the template … ==

– For WP Theme with BP Template Pack scenario – you would find the main profile template within your WP theme folder in server at wp-content/themes/myCustomWPtheme/members/single/profile.php

– For child theme of bp-default theme – copy over members/single/profile.php and/or specific profile loop/content from bp-default theme into your child theme following the folder structure
