[Resolved] How to remove BP Template message

Hi,

How do I remove this message:
“BuddyPress is ready. You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress compatible theme to take advantage of all of the features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or upgrade your existing WordPress theme.”

I’m supposed to do this, but I don’t understand what it says:

“NOTE: To remove the “BuddyPress is ready” message you will need to add a “buddypress” tag to your theme. You can do this by editing the style.css file of your active theme and adding the tag to the “Tags:” line in the comment header.”

For example at the top of the twentyten theme’s style.css is the following line:
`Tags: custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
If you change it to:
`Tags: buddypress, custom-menu, sticky-post, microformats, rtl-language-support, translation-ready`
then that warning will go away.

However that warning is to tell you that the theme isn’t buddypress compatible so it needs to be converted/updated.

This can be done by following the guide in the buddypress codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Some themes, such as Suffusion, have their own conversion pack, so it would be worth checking to see if one is available first.

I have manually edited several files to make Buddypress look great in my theme. However, my theme doesn’t have these tags, or I don’t know where to look.

Where should I put the Buddypress tag?
