This would be excellent to get implemented. This theme is so clean and nice. Buddypress addition would really make it stand out.
Will the arras theme be compatible with buddypress?
So, is there an answer? Will 1.6 be Buddypress compatible?
I'm not the author, nor do I speak for him, but I wouldn't expect support for buddypress as it's an ever changing plugin that would be hard to keep up to date with. You can use a plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to help in assisting your theme to be compatible with buddypress, however you will still need to know some CSS/Java to get it looking correctly.

Thanks, I have installed the template pack plugin. Do you know what specific changes have to be made and where so that I can make them? There is a generic listing of header changes in the setup for template pack plugin but, I need specifics for Arras since I am no css expert.
You can use firebug to try these changes out. You can also still use the user.css file to make changes to the buddypress styles. It's not really that simple, but it can be done.
dgodfather -
thanks for your help, as always.
I added BP and added some css to my arras child and it's working, stop in and check it out.
I had another question here that was not BP related so, I have moved it.

That looks pretty good. Good job!

Thanks, it was pretty easy. If anyone else wants to try it, here's what i did:
I first installed the Buddypress Template Pack Plugin,
then, I added this to my Arras child theme:
/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
then, I copy/pasted the contents of arrasbp.css into my Arras child theme. You can get the file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RQNWBQFN (I found this file by researching Brownbuddy and a user had shared his mods)
Now, not having a clue what I am doing, I lucked out on this one.
Hi KansasSaint
I have checked out your site which is great, and particularly your BuddyPress components look incredibly good - integrated very well into your site.
I am trying to integrate BuddyPress into my Arras Themed site - www.bucksboardroom.com - but am not having as much luck as you seem to have had. Like you, I don't have a clue what I'm doing!!
I have tried the steps you have suggested above, but it all looks a bit like a dogs breakfast (headings out of alignment, everything has bullet points, page content runs under the sidebar etc, etc) so I have disabled my child theme and am just using the bp-template-pack at the moment.
Have you made additional edits to your child theme since making the above post? If you have, do you have any hints or tips as to how you got BuddyPress so seamlessly integrated into your site?
i want to develop a community site for gamers using buddypress but i am not sure whether the theme is compatible with buddypress..Any Suggestions are welcome!!!
It's not built to support buddypress by default, but you can use the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to do it. You will need to follow the step by step instructions closely.
