Intergrating BP with existing WordPress Theme

  • @blakicemg

    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

    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.
