follow up – it’s actually being added in the function:

bp_core_add_admin_bar_css()

in bp-core-cssjs.php

I can’t help but think this should be in the default theme, not in the core files.

@chouf1 – yes, I know where the adminbar.css file is. Coda is my friend 🙂 The question was, why is adminbar.css being included in other themes (even none child ones) on a multisite network? What’s injecting it, and how do we turn it off. e.g. My theme doesn’t explicitly link to adminbar.css, here’s the snippet from […]

p.s. we have the problem in 1.2.5.2 as well

@clojel You shouldn’t really mod the core files, as they’ll be overwritten if you upgrade. Is there any filter you can hook on to instead as an interim solution? Certainly though, this should be added to the trac as a potential bug to be looked at. We have the same problem with child themes in secondary […]

@hnla – I think I’d class it as a bug, as it breaks child themes on existing sites
… or perhaps just a deprecated / implementation changed without clear warning mistake

Glenn… there is nothing new in charging for premium themes, it’s not a BuddyPress phenomenon… there are hundreds of people selling premium themes for WordPress (e.g. WooThemes, ThemeForest, …), and even more sites that are completely bespoke developments costing many thousands of pounds.

Yes, there is a BuddyPress primary site … where you’d run a BuddyPress specific theme, that lets you view members directories, group directories, member profiles, etc.

That tells you how to do this

If you mean you want to allow members to create blogs, you’ll need to ensure you have WordPress multisite setup

It’s not a question of whether you like it or not, the problem is that it breaks the design of existing sites – because their themes are using bp-default as a ‘much touted future proof’ parent theme. You expect bug and compatibility fixes in a theme upgrade, not presentation and design changes. If you’re changing […]

@djpaul – Can we happily run the 1.2.5.2 default theme (and children thereof) on the 1.2.6 core? Thereby allowing all our existing child themes to continue to behave the same without any mods at all? And, as a corollary to this… is there an install option for 1.2.6 that won’t overwrite the 1.2.5.2 theme (other than […]

@djpaul OK, apology in order – my temperature sizzled, and I jumped to the conclusion that they were being added in the core, and not as a filter in the default theme (which is a damn good place for them!). Now, if only you could tear half the other activity presentation stuff out of the core […]

Do any of the SEO plugins let you manipulate the slugs from the admin panel?

@whitbyglennk

If you post this on the job board on here, you should be able to hire a developer who’ll rework the Cosmic Buddy theme for you

Rich is suggesting you try reverting to BuddyPress default theme (as you should for most problems) – so you can isolate the problem.

Do your forums work using the default theme?

If not, have you set them up correctly: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/
