Hi,
A couple of years ago, I discovered WP. Just loved it.
Now BP 🙂
But, just as WP in the beginning, it can be frustrating.

I read most of the documentation dealing with BP as a theme, not as a plugin. This is by far the most confusing part from my perspective if trying to style BP. It’s not a theme, it’s a plugin
Second, if we use the current child theme, BP has different top classes for each module (profile, sites, etc). So if I want to have font 14px only for BP, it seems that I need to have as many rules as the modules. I must be missing something :/

After reading a whole ton of articles, and considering that I have already a child theme, one solution was to create a new page.php? If this is the route, I need to first learn about this, because this would be new territory for me.

I have also created the bp-custom.php at the /plugins/ level, but it seems not to affecting the BP. I tried to disable the admin bar – define( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true – but it does not work.

So still on my way to getting to the basics….
But any help with the right way of styling BP only would be highly appreciated.
