You’re welcome. Crossing my fingers 
– `get_template_directory_uri()` should be `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` for your child theme
– after the template tag above `/themes/seneca-county/style.css’ should just be ‘style.css’
therefore:
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘seneca-county’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘seneca-county’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`
Thanks @mercime, I’ve already been staring at that page for over an hour. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried every variation of the code I can think to try. Seneca County is the name of my custom child theme. What am I missing? The Codex doesn’t really explain how to modify the example. If you’ve never done it before, I don’t know how you’d look at the example and just figure it out. Please help
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘seneca-county’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/themes/seneca-county/style.css’ );
}
endif;`
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-stylesheet’, WP_CONTENT_URL . ‘/themes/my-theme/style.css’ );
}
endif;`
This could also be an issue with the Blogs Directory plugin which a friend installed. Did you add any functions in theme’s functions.php or excluded some blogs in the directory listing Network Admin > Sites with that plugin?
@loudrake I saw this happen once or twice with a WP theme which had “ in footer.php instead of within index.php, single.php, etc. If I recall well, the solution was to create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and upload to that WP theme folder.
Am having this problem aswell, i just tried solution provided by @Boone, but still same thing. i have been having the problem for a while which makes me switch back to bp 1.2
Thanks for replying @boonebgorges. I’ve enjoyed some of your talks via wordpress.tv. I wish that info was included in the Codex. At least a mention that just because my theme was activated doesn’t mean my stylesheet was automatically linked. Maybe that’s obvious to others? I dunno.
I changed the path to my theme “/themes/my-theme.style.css” but it still doesn’t seem to have worked. Do I need to change anything else in the code you provided? “my-stylesheet” for instance? I’m never worked with a child theme before. Thanks again.
If you’re going to override bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles(), then you’ll need to enqueue your own stylesheet. ie
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-stylesheet’, WP_CONTENT_URL . ‘/themes/my-theme/style.css’ );
}
endif;`
Possibly relevant: the only theme currently enabled on the site is BuddyPress default. There are other themes installed, but not enabled at the moment.
Also, I wondered if I made a mistake in the header of my stylesheet. Do I need to have an absolute path to the stylesheet? My theme URI is currently written as “http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name”. Is this what is tripping me up? I assume not since the stylesheet was recognized prior to creating the functions.php file. I’m very confused.
`/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk
Theme URI: http://example.org/themes/dusk/

You’re welcome. Good luck.
Thanks mercime. I’ll give that a try and let you know how it works. Wish I could send a chocolate chip cookie your way.
Have you checked if same behavior applies using bp-default theme?
As usual many thanks Mercime
As usual backup DB and files. Copy over BP 1.5.1 on top of existing. BP Twenty Eleven is good to go as BP Template Pack plugin didn’t need to be updated for this version. Even if it was, if you used the method shown in Codex, then you wouldn’t have any issue even if BP Template Pack plugin was updated.
@grahaman
Presuming you don’t want a horizontal scrollbar (just the vertical), add the following to style.css in your child theme and adjust the height to taste:
div.dir-list {
height:200px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
I recall reading somewhere that one of the plugins you have activated, buddystream, is messing up with activity page. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate buddystream and see if same behavior applies. If you have bp-custom.php in your plugins folder, rename it in the meantime.
You should contact @sbrajesh at BuddyDev.com. He provides great support for BP Mag theme.
Delete the header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php previously created. My bad, I missed the common div#content in both Listings WP theme and BP template files which unfortunately are placed in different parts of the HTML structure. I have replaced instructions using second method with that of using the first method for BP Compatibility process in above post.
The widgets in sidebar which show up in the BuddyPress pages are the same as what you placed in your theme’s sidebar.
Hi Paul – I’m using my own theme (and will need to use it for the live site). I’ve run the Buddypress plugin pack, and everything seemed to go OK with that.
I’ve played around a little bit on testbp.org, and so I have an idea about how things are supposed to work, but it’s not working that way for me.
One other thing – when someone writes a post, I would like other users to be able to have a choice: to see more of their posts (as wp normally does) or to go to their BP profile page to message them, see their activity, etc.
@Hostprofile:
I asked a question in his forum, but thus far I haven’t heard back. I was hoping in the interim that someone here might have encountered the same issue with the password reset feature. I’ll try disabling plugins, as you suggested. I already disabled TML to test the password reset, and noticed that when TML is deactivated, the reset feature works ok. I also noticed something about the link directions, too:
TML PLUGIN ON:
Lost Password link goes here:
http://www.thewebsite/login/?action=lostpassword
TML PLUGIN OFF:
Lost Password link goes here:
http://www.thewebsite/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
I’m wondering why the code is different, and where I can get at this code. I’m assuming it’s buried in PHP somewhere within TML’s resources, but I’ve had no luck finding it.
I’ll troubleshoot more by disabling plugins, as you suggested, however.
@MarcEsadrian
Have you tried posting a new thread on the support forum for TML?
http://www.jfarthing.com/support/forum/requests-and-complaints
I don’t see any threads from users with the same issue, but perhaps no one else has noticed. Also, have you tried disabling other plugins and just keeping BuddyPress & TML activated? Does the password recovery function work just fine if you disable TML?
Hi mercime
Thanks for replying.
I have the latest BuddyPress installed-it activated alright from my dashboard (BP1.5.1).
I had to hand code some of my theme to make it BP compatible (you helped me).
I am running WP multisite
Re sitewide forums I have only tried adding one forum.
Why is my forum at
http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/
not showing?
Most grateful for your further help-many thanks
Hi
Are you using the demo theme that comes with BuddyPress, or your own theme? If it’s not BP-Default, you can check out and play with a test site at http://testbp.org
