   I finally got a grip on creating category template files within WordPress.

   Can you not do the same thing when BuddyPress is being used?

   I'm using a modified version of the BP theme "FakeName". When the site I am working on was a flat WP site I had a file named 'category-scholarships-grants.php'. Worked fine.

   Created a similar file and put it in the child theme directory... and nothing.

   Did you also create the scholarships-grants category in your new install?

   I... didn't do a new install (?) of the site. I installed BuddyPress. The category is still there.

   The template file did not work within the BuddyPress theme like it did for the site using 2010 theme (non-buddypress).

   Here is the link to the site in question: http://www.ratest3.com/category/scholarships-grants/

   But it is NOT using the template file even though it is up on the server: http://www.ratest3.com/wp-content/themes/bp-fakename/catetory-scholarships-grants.php

   Here is the BP version I can't get to work:

   Based on the WP version I did get to work:
