@tntag r-a-y has just updated this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ If you’re importing CSS from bp-default theme, then you just need to adjust styles in your child theme’s stylesheet. If you’ve created your own stylesheet which is not dependent on bp-default theme’s stylesheet, then see 2nd code here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-5-child-theme-not-working/#post-108430

If you cannot access wp-admin panel, then via FTP/cpanel, go to wp-content/themes/detox and rename theme folder wp-content/themes/detox-x then try to access your wp-admin panel online again.

What BP-compatible theme are you using? If you’re using the bp-default theme, you should not make changes directly on that theme because it will be overwritten when you upgrade BP plugin. You need to create a child theme instead.

Copying footer.php from bp-default theme into child theme folder per tutorial (if you want to use bp-default theme and customize it) and upload to server is just like copying over some a file from one folder to another in your computer then FTP/cpanel upload to server.

Where is ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring_activity_filter’?
My buddypress default theme doesn’t have such function

Thank you @r-a-y Bravo!

@naijaping Which of the two codes above didn’t work for you? Both codes prevent bp-default’s stylesheet from being enqueued in wp_head. I may not have explained it more thoroughly above.

The first code – write all your custom styles in style.css of child theme or @import style from e.g. a css folder within your child theme’s folder and get the layout you want without interference.

The second code – child theme’s style.css file only has the header portion i.e. theme name, author, etc. but no styles or @import since stylesheet is enqueued in child theme’s functions.php file. I edited second code above to register the stylesheet before enqueueing.

Are you trying to change the height of the header image background or the header in general?

If you are trying the change the height of the header only, first create a child theme.

Then in your child theme’s style.css, add the following:

`#header {height:300px;}`

I have recently updated the child theme codex article for BP 1.5:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Give it a read through and see if that helps.

This codex article probably needs updating, but read through it and try what is suggested:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

If it doesn’t work, let us know and someone will update it.

Create a child theme of the BuddyPress Default theme.

Then, copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php to your new child theme, open up footer.php, then read this:
