@valuser Thanks for your patience, and for the kind words 
Bump. I agree it should at the least make its way onto a Roadmap. If I’m understanding this correctly, there is no unified user-management system in the code base itself. I know I’m significantly hacking a number of Buddypress features to work around this issue in two of my current projects, and it seems like this missing functionality is a barrier to BuddyPress’s evolution.
Just to be clear, bp-default has been fixed to do automatically what @karmatosed suggests you do manually. This is only an issue for the BP Template Pack.
In the meantime, why not just use more specific selectors?
`body button
body a.button`
etc. The ‘body’ bit essentially does nothing in terms of which element gets selected, but it forces the browser to give your rules priority because they are formally more specific than those in bp.css. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but better than using `!important`
@valuser: Are you enqueuing your CSS for the custom styles you’ve done. To me it looks like you aren’t. There are 2 things at play here:
1. You need to now enqueue any styles keeping order ie; last style you want enqueue that last
2. !important is a little like a kid sticking their hand up in class it will get paid attention to above all else – therefore yes adding !important does work but shouldn’t be what you use you should use the ‘cascading’ nature of CSS.
But I want to know how I can do it myself so I can do this with other themes as well.
If this in re BuddyPress ScholarPress Courseware, please post at plugin’s forums so plugin dev will see your post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-courseware/forum/
The only way is to hard code
`<a href=”activity/favorites”>Your Favorites`
@thelandman hey! thanks for making me realize i had 2 jquerys called in the header..i just deleted the other jquery call and the avatar crop problem is now fixed! 
Okay well I did just create two usernames for buddypress and tried it on the main site and sure enough it took one offline when I was not. Looks like either this is the way they wanted to function (can’t see why) or some sort of caching issue like you stated above. I created a ticket here so maybe we can get more of an official word on the matter. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3590
@bitofgrace Hey I am seeing the same issue as well. I actually made a post about it where I havent got any word back yet. Have you gotten this to work properly or any more ideas on what my be causing this? maybe we can help eachother because I would like the avatars to stay present when they are logged in. I am almost tempted to write my own but I would like to get the current one working sounds more realistic.

@mercime That was it! When I activated the BP default theme I was able to create a group normally. Whew! After I created the groups I needed I just reactivated the theme again. I hope StudioPress gets the GenesisBuddy, Genesis theme plugin fixed so this won’t happen to anyone else.
Thanks for the advice!
Basically 3 things. An embedly hack, a latest forum topic widget and a hack to allow the correct avatar upload path because it’s in a sub-domain. That latter would be my guess.
Google around, there is already a BuddyPress 2011 theme created
This isn’t a BP issue. Sidebars are added and customized just like WordPress. There is a plugin in WordPress.org plugin repo that allows different sidebars on different pages.

Thanks to those that updated this it’s still a really important thread. I’ve been out for a little bit but trying to get back into seeing what’s being updated now. I think I’m right in saying @Foxly and the great bpmedia team are firmly on top of the spreadsheets for this.
Yes, the template pack git page is a great one as that’s where you get the work in progress version – so great to see things happening before even release.
As 1.5 approaches it’s going to be so tempting to just switch but this list and the links in the codex should hopefully bring a pause for caution to some minds. In most cases as seen you’ll be fine but a pause never causes an issue.
can’t edit my comment, but meant to say works with BP 1.5
Events Manager doesn’t produce any errors with BP.
yipee, one less thing to fix
also, great look and improvement guys, love the way BP has grown and improved so much since the early beta days
There is a Group Blog plugin which would do what you are looking for.I’ve tested it a few months ago.It creates a blog in the group ceate/admin process then you would need to select a theme which would match with your main blog. Not sure if it works with bp 1.5 yet though,i tested it on bp 1.2.9

I’m a bit baffled that /plugins/bb-custom.php would somehow break BuddyPress, but hey — glad you’ve got it working What did you have in the file
Solved!
I forgot to remove the bb-custom.php file in the Plugins folder.
Sorry for wasting your time. 😳 😳 😳
Looks great, can’t wait to dig in.
Nope.
I was just going to ask if multisite was an issue. Is multisite required?
