@rairai-ni based on initial scan, you would only need to create two files for BP compatibility but it will have to be hardcoded. You’ll have to decide on either or the three layouts for ALL your BP templates:
a) content with right sidebar -> like this page OR
b) left sidebar with content -> do provide a link to a page with that layout, OR
c) full-width, no sidebar -> do provide a link to a page with that layout
Oh, yeah.. sorry forgot to write that. Full width.
Link to full width page in demo?
You will be creating two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your modernize theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your modernize 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.

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
@rairai-ni Hi, I don’t know how to contact you so this is the only way. Could you please let me know how did you modified the modernize theme to fit buddypress? Step by step if you please, I’m not so good with code. I also tried to follow the old topic but the code is missing. Any help would be much appreciated! (If it is possible, please send me the modified files/code – mostly because I’m not sure how to do it 🙁 )
@ttce the instructions above are for Step 3 of the BP Template Pack plugin’s compatibility process. I just cleaned code and updated it at http://wp.me/p1I84P-1J
@mercime did you happen to post the code anywhere for buddypress to fit with this theme with the right sidebar?
@lostone84 No right sidebar code posted as the request was for full width with the BP Template Pack.
If you’re on test site, you should already download BP 1.7 RC 1 -> https://buddypress.org/2013/03/buddypress-1-7-release-candidate-1/ which has theme compatibility with most WordPress themes without BP Template Pack.
In other words, if the code in your theme’s page.php is up to par with WP standards and correct coding practices, then you’re good to go. The only way to find out is to test the theme first. I would deactivate BP Template Pack and delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server if you already went through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.
Good luck, I hope BP 1.7 Theme Compat works out in your theme.
