Template Troubles

I want to make use of the BuddyPress Template hierarchy as described here: http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

However if I add a ‘community.php’ file to my theme then it doesn’t get picked up.

My theme is a child theme of the buddypress default theme – and I am running version 1.7.

Does anyone know how to make this work with a child theme?

You’re running as a child theme of BP-default so the legacy files are bypassed. If you want to have BP use template compatibility then you need to be just running a theme without it acknowledging BP then the ‘legacy’ theme templates come into use and you should be able to copy them to the theme to modify.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? I only have a small handful of custom templates so if possible I’d like to keep running as a child theme and only change what I need.

@binarymon as hnla mentioned above, you can just copy over and revise the template files you want to change to your child theme following the directory structure of the BP Default theme.
