by AppBuddy allows your app to display any page from BuddyPress, essentially adding a social network component to your app.

Customizing AppBuddy Template Files
AppBuddy is powered by BuddyPress template files the same way that BuddyPress is in your standard WordPress install. Because of that, it’s also customizable the same way. You will find the AppBuddy copies of the files in /wp-content/plugins/appbuddy/templates/buddypress/. If you would like to customize any (or all of them), just recreate the same hierarchy in your chosen theme to use with AppPresser.
If you want to customize all of them, place the /buddypress/ folder and all of the contents into your theme. If you want to just customize a certain part of it, just copy the specific file(s) over. For example, the activity loop, you would make a copy of /buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php and place it into your chosen theme like so: /wp-content/themes/THEME-NAME-HERE/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php. Then you would edit that file as you need, and it’ll be the chosen file when your users visit the activity page.
For more information on customizing BuddyPress themes, please visit the BuddyPress Themes Codex Page and for more information on customizing BuddyPress as a whole, visit BuddyPress Codex
Since we copied the core BuddyPress templates directly, all of the same BuddyPress hooks should still be present and usable. You will need to add already existing hooks that you have to your AppPresser chosen theme.
