Intergrating BP with existing WordPress Theme
-
Hello all, before I get started I have spent a good deal of the day searching the forums and trying bits and pieces but I figured I would create a new thread in hopes to salvage whats left of my unproductive day.
Now the good stuff, I am using a Theme based on Woothemes Fresh News, worked perfectly, so I decide to add buddypress 1.1.3 to the mix and wanted to use my current theme over the BP theme. I saw Andy’s post that all you have to do is copy over the files from bp-sn-parent to my current theme and it would work, so I did that and it works… somewhat
I have uploaded the following directories and files to my current active theme from the bp-sn-parent folder:
_inc
activity
blogs
directories
friends
groups
messages
profile
registration
status
wire
links.php
optionbar.php
plugin-template.php
searchform.php
userbar.php
attachment.php
Then I opened style.css from the bp-sn-parent and copied and pasted the contents into my current style.css.
/* Font styles */
@import url( _inc/css/fonts/12px.css );/* Layout styles for home page, internal pages and blog/directory pages */
@import url( _inc/css/layout/home-page/3c-right.css );
@import url( _inc/css/layout/internal-pages/3c-left.css );
@import url( _inc/css/layout/blog-dir-pages/2c-right.css );/* Admin bar styles */
@import url( _inc/css/adminbar.css );/* Default example styles — these should be your own styles in a child theme */
@import url( _inc/css/screen.css );/// THE ISSUES
The homepage has the admin bar up top just without any styling (i.e drop down colors, admin bar background) but its there. When I go to a member profile page the admin bar is running down the side not up top where it belongs and the rest of the page has no styling attached. So what am I missing here? None of the styling is attached to my custom theme. I typed all this because im sure other people have this problem maybe this thread can help them.
Thank you all

Maybe I’m missing it but did you include the URL in the post?
LOL All that and I missed the most important part huh
brownskinweddings.com/members/admin/
anyone?
I have similar issues with the woo Journal Theme, and will send it out to professionals as soon as I find one.
Blakicemg,
Did that method work for you? I am trying to do the same thing: merge BuddyPress with an old WordPress theme
I am working on the same thing right now, has this been accomplished with 1.2 Beta? What is the correct process?
When I have issues like this I open Firebug for Firefox and I can usually track down the problem.
