I made a copy of the theme css file before doing all this work

I had custom CSS in the css file – so I had to overwrite the new one to get my work back

Sorry to confuse, the CSS part had nothing to do with the problem 🙂

So it looks like i found a fix but dont know root cause

Ended up deactivating all plugins

Updated the theme which DID have an update

Reactivated all plugins one by one

Reinstalled BP

So far no issues at this point – did have to copy the old css file over to the new theme folder but that seemed insignifigant.

Also should mention using WP 4.3.1
