D Cartwright: I’m getting the My Blogs menu, anyone else see this?
Bpisimone: You are free to use bp-default as a parent theme, my plan is to make a couple of basic child themes and add them to the theme repository as examples for people.
If you already have a child theme based on bp-sn-parent then there isn’t really much need to “update” it, since it will still be fine for 1.2 and get updated properly.
So the new theme actually is a new parent theme if the new default does not use the bp-sn-parent theme?
What’s the easiest way to convert my already heavily customized “old” child theme to the new default?
@Andrea_r Can you please make a download link for that ? 
edit: These errors fixed as of rev 2174. I’ll stop spamming you now Andy
edit again: There’s still no “My Blogs” adminbar item though.
Looks nice so far. Thanks Andy
Something I’ve noticed is that there is no longer a “My Blogs” menu item in the adminbar. Is this intentional?
I’ve just checked the theme in. To answer andrea_r’s question above —
You will still be able to build themes from bp-sn-parent. That theme is not going away, it will continue to be present for the foreseeable future. I have updated it to be compatible with all the latest BuddyPress changes.
The new bp-default theme will actually be a parent theme. For the default it makes less sense making a separate parent theme since you can simply just leave out all the default CSS and keep the templates.
The structure has changed though, and overall is much better and easier to understand. It follows the navigation of the actual site much closer. Plus there is less than half the CSS and only one major CSS file. The JS has also been hugely simplified.
@Xevo
I was actually worried that the extra load might cause problems :p I took a break from refreshing the page endlessly and bought a coffee. Installing it now..Woo.
I’ll start working on these when the new theme is released, which is soon. The first one I’m doing will be YouGo, Talkmore is gonna take a lot longer so that one will be released later.
Glad to see so people are interested in my themes.
ps. The buddypress parent revamp is dicontinued since Andy already made a big upgrade on the parent theme.
@ D Cartwright: What if you crash the trac before Andy can release the theme? lol
Oohh.. Time to spam F5 on the trac methinks
I would like to see Talkmore theme to be released first. Hope to see one of them comes out soon!
thanks.
you mean the discussion topics shown at the bottom of the home page.
well, I am using external bbpress with deep integration to buddypress/wordpress mu.
The topics are coming from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/ plugin.
Though, if you want to do the same using internal integration
have a look here
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
specifying the action as “new_forum _post” should do that.
Hope it helps
Good to see some new themes published!
May I ask something slightly off-topic? How did you get this done? I always have problems doing that outside the forums!

@mishathegoat
as DJPaul points, you do not need bp-themes directory inside wp-content ,It will cause problems.
Please move buddypress/bp-themes/ (bp-sn-parent and bp-default) to wp-content/themes and then go to SiteAdmin->Themes ,allow it from the main site and activate bp=-default using appearance->Themes
and remember to delete the wp-content/bp-tehems directory.
Hello DJPaul,
Odd, I am using BuddyPress version 1.1.3
The installation instructions I read told me to do the following (http://www.tmdhosting.com/tutorials/buddypress/buddypress-installation.html):
“Move /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory of your account. Additionally, to install the default BuddyPress home theme move /wp-content/bp-themes/bphome/ to /wp-content/themes/bphome/.”
Could this be related to the problem?
Thanks
EDIT: I have tried both themes, BuddyPress Default 1.1.3 and BuddyPress Social Network Parent Theme 1.1.3
http://testbp.org/wp-signup.php is what is meant to happen.
mishathegoat you appear to be using the old BP theme directory. What version of BuddyPress are you installing and with which theme?
@Zevo Thank you for posting that fix but it doesn’t seem to be working for me.. (Nothing has changed) Maybe I’m installing it wrong? I added the fix-it code to the tail-end of ../wp-content/bp-themes/bp-sn-parent/functions.php (Before the closing php tags of course)
Also cleared cache/etc before I tested my site again.
Again, thanks so much for your quick responses and help. It’s much appreciated.
EDIT: When I added the code to mu-plugins, users couldn’t register because the “register” link would bring them to the login page. Login issues also still exist.
hi Xevo
Thanks for pointing.
I had mentioned that in one of the comment already on the blog about the graphics.
The login will work, once you add the login widget supplied with the theme(cb-addons), please have a look at my recommendation about widget use there.
There are a few more things ,I am aware and will be updated by Wednesday(when my designer comes tomorrow). I had promised the theme long ago, and since designer was away, so I had to go for a hurried release.
Other than graphics(transparency issue with title background ), please point to other things too, I will be glad to enhance more
Thanks

Good to know that people are finally starting to make quality themes.
Some things that I noticed.
– See this. Make the backgrounds transparent.
– Define a width for your input, my inputs always become bigger and stick out their container. Probably got something to do with Win7.
– Blog pages still have a meta box.
– Login link in the navigation doesn’t do anything.
Haven’t found anything other than that.
I’ve been using genealogies with Tarski on a local host – works well – but I tried to upload it to my live site and I get the white screen of death.
I adjusted the style.css file from Thesis to Tarski and the local host worked fine.
I then uploaded the same files to my live site and both the parent and child theme appeared in the themes directory. The Tarski theme is working fine, but when I install and activate Genealogies it won;t work.
It’s bizarre as my local install is fine.
Is there more to configuring your child theme with Tarski than simply changing the templates?
Sounds promising Erich73…
I am more than happy with it not being ‘stable’ until late January/early February. I can deal with revisions and such in the meantime
think about this (as per message from Andy):
So far the BuddyPress default theme updates have taken the CSS down from 2800 (!) lines to 800. JS from 1400 to 600.
If there’s going to be a dev version of it available to work on soon then it would be pretty pointless to start work on a theme based on the old “bp-classic” theme. I have no problems with Andy not putting it into trunk this weekend (though of course I wouldn’t complain if he did) but in regards to creating plugins/themes/etc, I’d far prefer to work on the basis of what will be the future of BuddyPress rather than the past.
I have the same issue
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/41/d278410228/htdocs/wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/header.php:3) in /homepages/41/d278410228/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865
with wpmu 2.8.6 BP 1.1.3 hosted by 1&1
It really depends on the improvements being rolled in, really. I can’t really say until I look at the code.
