Upgrading Theme WP 3.2.1 & BP 1.2.9

    It has been years since I have had to do any webpage coding. I used to run a phpBB site for a year or so and had custom code all over the place. =) I knew what I was doing but that was a long time ago. =P

    I am very new to WP and BP. I just started using WP on Monday and BP on Tuesday. Well, I tried to use BP on Tuesday, but my friends hosting is a Windows server, so I couldn’t instal it. =/ We are switching to Linux right now. =) I have WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.9 installed on my Linux hosting now so I can see what I need to do to get it working.

    I’m currently using the theme zeePersonal (LINK: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/zeepersonal ). I tried using the BuddyPress Template Pack v1.1.4, but I can’t figure out what they are talking about that I need to change. =/ I’ve read it over and over again, but the instructions remind me of this: (LINK: http://twitpic.com/6ebch0 )

    The page.php file it says to look for looks like this:
    `

    <div id="page-” >

    ‘alignleft’)); ?>

    `

    I started adding in `

    ` to the pages listed for the BP Template pack, but my content is all aligned left. I can’t seem to figure out what I need to do. =/ Any help on this matter would be great!

    Also, I spent a few hours last night searching for the answer here and a few more hours today and I didn’t find the answer. Everyone seems very interested in BP1.5 though. =)

    BP Codex is your friend
    https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
    https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

    Per info given in above links, open up /activity/index.php and at the top of the file replace:
    `

    `

    with
    `

    <div id="page-” >`

    Then at the bottom of the file, replace
    `

    `

    with
    `

    `

    Save file. Proceed to change HTML of remaining 12 files posted in links above. There might be a need to include div entry plus closing div. But check out first how this turns out. Good luck.

    Oh my! That worked! I had started doing that, but I didn’t copy down far enough I guess. =/ But it’s all working now. Thank you! =)

    Now I just have to spend hours customizing everything! That’s going to be super fun! =P

    Also, the links you posted I had gone to looking for help, but they are worded exactly the same as the plugin I mentioned before. =/ But, they had two more files listed that I needed to change. =)

    Hmm. I didn’t see the second page you linked to as I was trying to complete the first steps. =/ Had I read the second page, I probably wouldn’t have needed to make this post. =P Should have read ahead I guess. =P
