BP Page Template

[Dennis]

If you choose a different page for a BP component (Activity, Groups, etc.) the page gets wrapped in the entry-content div. This gives it extra padding and messes up some of the css.

Is there a BP page template I could use to create a regular page template. Or would coping the default page template and remove the entry-content div do the trick?

Hey @kahunaburger , take a look of buddypress.php inside the Boss parent theme.

I created a BP template using the Right Sidebar template. I just changed the “get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ )” to “get_template_part( ‘content-buddypress’, ‘page’ );”. It seems to work. It could be worth adding for those wanting to use different BP pages than the default ones. 😉

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: BuddyPress Right Sidebar
 *
 * Description: Use this page template for a BuddyPress page with a right sidebar.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Boss
 * @since Boss 1.0.0
 */
get_header(); ?>

<div class="page-right-sidebar">

	<div id="primary" class="site-content">
	
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php get_template_part( 'content-buddypress', 'page' ); ?>
				<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->
	
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I think I posted that too soon. It fixed the div issues, but now it doesn’t show page or VC content.

This seems to be a BP issues. If you use the default BP pages the content you create in the page editor is displayed above the BP content. If you change the BP page to a different page BP strips out the content created in the page editor and only displays the BP content.

Is there a way around this?
