What kind of problems are you running into?
Basically, I think I’m having problems with paths — the buddypress member page isn’t accessing the css/image files for the main theme. For some reason, I’m having trouble getting my head around this.
Here is the actual error that I’m seeing:
Warning: include(C:xampplitehtdocs/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/options.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:xampplitehtdocswp-contentmember-themesbuddypress-memberheader.php on line 53
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'C:xampplitehtdocs/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/options.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:xampplitephppear') in C:xampplitehtdocswp-contentmember-themesbuddypress-memberheader.php on line 53
And here is a screenshot
I want the header to match the header on this
WordPress detects the currently enabled theme’s root and css directories via the bloginfo(‘template_directory’) and bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) functions.
To call the css and images from the home theme in a member theme template you would have to hard code the path references as “/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/styles.css”.
Personally, as hard coding is generally a bad idea, I would suggest simply copying the elements you wish to use from the home theme directory to the member theme directory and reference them the usual way.
