=== do you think i am correct in my assumption that there is another style.css that i am supposed to be importing into the child theme, that i missed? or do you think there is another explanation for why the child theme style is ‘off’? ===

Your mockup style.css is importing from the bp-default theme in BP plugin folder http://electioncandidates.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css
while the pre-mockup style.css is importing from the bp-default theme in themes folder http://electioncandidates.com/wp-content/themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css where the styling has already been revised/customized. Initial scan comparing the stylesheets already shows that min and max width is set to 996px in pre-mockup; while your mockup still has the BP default styling of min width of 960px and max width of 1250px just as an example of the difference.

Copy over the styling of `default.css` and `adminbar.css` from the pre-mockup to your theme’s `/_inc/css/` folder and change the import call
from

/* 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 );

to

/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url(_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url(_inc/css/adminbar.css );


cross fingers

Also, change theme to bp-default theme and deactivate BP plugins except BuddyPress to see whether it’s cosmic buddy theme code or if there’s another reason that’s preventing you from posting updates to activity stream.

=== There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’ ===

Super Admin and special Options panel only show up for WordPress multisite installations – so if you want those but more importantly, you want to allow your members to create blogs in your site then read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

=== buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site ====

Sure there is a link. Click on “Support” tab in main navigation then click on “Documentation” link that appears in line below main navigation.

You mean the avatars in the BuddyPress core? Thats different then the plugins.

You should see if others have your problem and make a ticket if your the first on the trac.

Also, what’s with buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site! Or anywhere that’s noticeable. I had to download buddypress and dig out the readme file to find out that one exists!

I’m running the latest version of wordpress, 3.0.3 and a brand new installation of Buddypress. There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’

so… how do we allow folks to register?

@xevo it’s probably BP Media nee BP Album+, not Brajesh’s BP Gallery

1. Yeah, sounds nice.
2. Nah, whats the point? Thats more specific, not something a lot of buddypress installs would need.

I guess this topic is closed thanks to Dave, please see [Plugin: Buddypress-Ajax-Chat] Plugin not working : Fatal error for more information.

=== I certainly can do that, but am hoping to be able to manually fix the broken code. ===
Consider the time you’ve already spent trying to fix what’s going on with your new install and compare that with 20 minutes or so backing up database and server files, then dropping DB tables and deleting htaccess, reuploading WP files, going through the installation process, then creating a network and checking that everything’s going well with your installation before installing BuddyPress. I can only say that unless you’re seriously considering debugging the Enable Multisite plugin and reporting it, go with fresh install. Of course, it’s all up to you. Good luck.

just found a link here. http://hostandwin.com/free-buddypress-themes.php

any links to a current downloadable version? If anyone has one they can share, shoot it over to jake at ja-bob dot com.

This is the first activity I’ve seen on the issue since asking myself, @ddgdaily. I really wish someone would come and pastebin the correct code, because if this is possible, I could really use it!
