Will Artisteer 3 be able to create templates for "Buddy Press", which though installs as a plugin in Wordpress ste but requires 'Buddy Press' compatable templates.

Artisteer doesn't support creating Buddypress templates.

Howdy,

You may want to have a look at BuddyPress Template Pack which adds BuddyPress support to any WP Theme. I have successfully used this on a few WP/BP sites which use themes created with Artisteer :)

I just started testing out a BuddyPress installation on my Artisteer template:

Seems to be working ok atm. I am just starting. Can you tell me what you have learned from your experience that may make things easier wit managing BP, WP and Artisteer? Like what BP plugins do you use? Have you found that updating WP or BP or a plugin breaks the site? Has it been stable? Does Akismet still work effectively? I don;t really know what questions to ask but maybe you know what I need to look out for.

Thank you!

I've installed The BuddyPress Theme Pack plugin and had it convert an Artisteer template with no problem -- until I started to try to edit the pages and templates that don't seem to lineup properly. Artisteer uses so many subroutines to handle formatting that I get lost, confused and can't seem to get some of the edits to work properly. <sigh>

If I could get the various pages to display properly, it would be AWESOME. At the moment, I am considering just not using BuddyPress with Artisteer-created templates. Bummer.

Lyle,
Can you tell me how you handled reformatting the BP pages that don't appear correctly? Any ideas are appreciated!

Agreed, this is a must-have feature. Buddypress is widely used now on many sites. The ability to enable buddypress compatability would give Artisteer even more value.
