Need help with theme – Quik Gallery

    I am currently using a theme from WPExplorer named Quik Gallery 1.0 by AJ Clarke.

    I am sorry for my n00bish question but I don’t understand how I can change the layout of the buddypress system. The member and group pages for example are completely out of alignment.

    Does anyone have any experience with this theme and are willing to help me work out how to get the layout working.

    You haven’t complete Step 3 of the compatibility process — to align HTML structure of BP template files with your theme’s HTML structure. Based on initial scan of source code, you only need to create 2 files to make your template files compatible.

    Does that mean I have to delete the theme and reupload the same theme but with the added 2 files or can I do it all within wordpress?

    It means that you only need to create two files and upload it to your Quik Gallery theme folder in server wp-content/themes/quik-gallery/

    Open up your header.php file, copy all, paste all in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the the same for your quick theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

    ** index.php code in pastebin.com is not your theme’s index.php file but that of BP Activity Stream’s index.php. I recommend that you re-upload your theme’s files again to server to make sure that all required theme files are online.

    Moving on to the template compatibility process, you will be creating two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php per instructions below.

    If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

    A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

    Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:

    `

    `

    Save file.

    B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

    Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and add the following at the TOP of the file, above other code:

    ``

    At the very BOTTOM of the same file, below other code add this:

    `

    jQuery(document).ready( function() {
    if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
    jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
    jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
    jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
    });
    });

    `

    Save file.

    C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/quik-gallery/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

    D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

    Hey! Sorry for the long reply but I’ve been WAY TOO BUSY lately!

    Thanks very much! It worked and your easy to ready instructions made it go so smoothly!

    Thanks! Now I just need to work out how to effect the layout of a buddypress forum and my site is SET! :D

    I have another problem. Everything is now fine. All pages are responsive and the layouts are fine.

    But my forums look unattractive. The sub forum menus are fine and the topics are fine but the main forum menu looks terrible. http://www.caiminds.com/forums

    Any suggestions?
