No Dashboard/Members Area

Hi, I have been trying to set up WPLMS with my own theme. I followed this article closely and I found the video within the article to be very helpful as well. However, the dashboard/members area is not appearing.

I have the site set up to run buddypress on a single page as recommended. The page is blank except for the two shortcodes as described in the article. I have the login set to global and the log in/register included in the header of my website. I am also using the WP login sync so when I preview the site I can see that I am logged in and have the option to access my dashboard. However, when I click on any elements from the logged in dropdown menu, it leads to the empty page with the two shortcodes. I cannot seem to find a way to access the members area instead of having it redirect to that shortcode page.
