Thank you gentlemen.

I would love to get my theme working via official means. I’ve tried for a few weeks now to follow Jeff’s instructions (which he has kindly provided to me for the third time above) with no luck.

Because all my bp CSS and formatting is written for the now deprecated bpskeletonmember theme, following the “I’ve used a WordPress theme for my blog with the default BuddyPress member theme” instructions from the above link results in a member theme without my CSS after I delete the bp-themes directory. That’s why I was asking how to salvage the deprecated theme. I’m a little desperate now as I only have until weeks end to work on this.

I now understand the problem.

In order to get the new version to work I basically have to re-create my bp theme with the new theme files. I compared the standard new buddypress theme to mine after the upgrade and noticed that I don’t have a status directory for example I copied the contents of your bp-sn-parent into my bp theme and the new features all worked, except my css was now broken.

This is insane. I had paid someone a good deal amount of funds so that my bp theme matches my wordpress theme. Now I have to do it all over again if I want to move on from 1.0.3

Let me completely change my question here then.

I’m not using a parent/child theme. I’m leaving everything as is, without moving anything anywhere.

After upgrading, members have the same “global” activity stream and there’s the new status update is missing in profiles. That’s all.

Here are the contents of my buddypress theme root within bp-themes:

Here are the contents of my wordpress theme root:

Please advise.

If I leave everything as is (without moving the contents from my bp theme to wp theme) and just upgrade automatically I had up with the messed up activity stream and other problems.

I have read all that but none of those scenarios seem to match mine.

This sounds about right: “I’ve built a completely custom WordPress theme and BuddyPress theme”

But like I said, when I move /wp-content/bp-themes/themename to /wp-content/themes/themename per the instructions here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/upgrading-a-buddypress-1-0-theme-for-buddypress-1-1/ that doesn’t do it either.

Is it because my bp theme doesn’t have a parent/child relationship?

The entire BP theme is /wp-content/bp-themes/themename
