bgrun80 posted on the forum topic Buddypress free child themes not working in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

Worked it out.

I put the child themes in the bp-themes folder.

Placed them in the plugins/buddypress/bp-themes folder, when I should have put them in
wp-content/themes.

They look like they’re working ok now.
Thanks for the help.

Hey all, For some reason the Buddypress free custom child themes are not working. I downloaded all of them and then activated one after another in the themes menu of my dashboard… For some reason, about half of them wigged out and did crazy stuff, as if the CSS was all faulty or something Does […]

The title really says it all with this one… How many members can Buddypress support before it slows down? My server is jet-fast, I’m running the latest version of IIS with the apache mod re-write patch enabled. Re database, I’m using Microsoft SQL Server, so that can handle a hell of a lot of db […]

Cheers @boonebgorges. So, if I can clarify the whole process. Please tell me if I’m right or if I’m wrong, and I’ll post it up on my forum, and make a page in the codex if you want. When a visitor loads the URL of a Buddypress-supported site: 1. the WordPress environment loads and loads the […]

Question: When a user logs into a Buddypress site, do all the core files load from the Buddypress root folder, or does it simply load the theme files?

Basically, how does the big picture work?

Also, what is the relationship between the core files and their respective directories?
e.g. bp-blogs.php and the bp-blogs directory

Cheers.

Lol, yes, I am a troll. I am old and smell funny and live in a cave. Look, in today’s economic climate, the job market is pretty much empty, even in Australia. Even if you do get a job with a company, then you’re hard pressed to pay rent and bills, and you can never […]

Thanks for the quick replies! I think I understand the idea of hooks now as they are used in index.php, header.php, etc. @boonebgorges: Unfortunately I don’t have the ability to edit the codex, but I’d really like to. I also tried logging into codex.buddypress.org/wp-admin and I wasn’t allowed to do anything there either. It would be […]

Buddypress for dummies is a piece of crap. Do not buy it. Just d/l it from isohunt. I just read through it and my hope has turned to despair. There is no listing and explanation of bp functions. There is no explanation of bp hooks, actions or filters. Basically, for the first half of the […]

Buddypress for dummies is not suitable for developers. I don’t suggest buying it if you want to develop seriously. I just read through it and my hope has turned to despair. There is no listing and explanation of functions. There is no explanation of hooks, actions or filters. Basically, for the first half of the […]

Hey all, I’m a new developer (started a year ago). I’ve been working with WordPress for about 3 months and I get it. Buddypress is a different issue, because there is very little documentation that teaches a new developer what the functions/actions/filters do, how to use them, what parameters they take, etc. etc. I’ve been […]

@johnjamesjacoby @johnjamesjacoby,

Hey John

Look, I’ve gotta be honest, the Buddypress software is awesome, but the documentation is a load of crud.

I know Lisa wants to sell her ‘dummies’ book, but without (free) proper documentation, Buddypress is simply inaccessible to people like me, who need a clear cut guide on how to develop. And if…[Read more]
