Not sure if anyone else is getting this when working with a child theme, but I’m getting a “flash” of the site in BP default before the theme CSS changes to my child theme. It only appears for a moment…. am I loading the child CSS right?

I have in my template header (Stolen from TwentyTen)
`
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="” />
`

Then in my Child style.css

/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );

/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Using @import in combination with linked CSS causes CSS load order issues, as the HTTP requests are not completed in sequence.

I would suggest researching and using the WordPress API wp_enqueue_style() to better avoid the fouc.

Appreciate the response John, so just to clarify.

All child themes for Buddypress should reference their “style.css” using wp_enqueue_style() rather then the traditional WP style of including the style reference in the header.php file?

aaaa….. IC what’s going on here…. previously on child themes you would include the BP default theme as an @import at the top of your child theme style.css this is no longer neccesary with the way BP 1.5 loads the style. Just removed the reference and everything works great….
