BuddyPress.org

WordPress might not, but that doesn’t make it right, does it? 🙂

Perhaps its just my comp sci education but a good DBA will tell you never have a field do “double duty” it can only lead to bad things.

A login name, and a communication / mention name are two very different properties. Two-step or not they really should be doing double duty.

Note: I’m not being a critic. That’s not my thing man 🙂 Just pointing out that a reasonable DBA would frown upon the current approach – especially in the content of the @mention of BP.

Hi @r-a-y and @danp

I created a new ticket as I was told here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5890

I hope that I did the procedure well.

It is a crucial issue for us, who use non-latin characters and hopefully there will be a solution 🙂

I appreciate your time.

Thank you very much.

It works with the code for the buddypress.php + inserting the other code:

.buddypress #main #primary {
    margin: 0;
}

.buddypress #main #content {
    margin: 0 9.46429%;
}

via Dashboard / ‘Simple Custom CSS’-plugin.

But there still must be a mistake within the style.css for my child theme folder. It’s content is right now:

/*
 Theme Name:   Reddle Child
 Template:     reddle
*/

@import url("../reddle/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

.buddypress #main #primary {
    margin: 0;
}

.buddypress #main #content {
    margin: 0 9.46429%;
}

But it does not work without using ‘Simple Custom CSS’…

Thank you.

1st:

Besides the different “HTML structure for Reddle and Twenty” Thirdteen I made earlier two fundamental mistakes:

a) I did not recognise, that the comment at the beginning of a child theme must be different, than the comment at the beginning of the parent theme.

‘The only required lines are the Theme Name, the Template.

The Template is the directory name of the parent theme.’

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme

So, within my earlier attempt, step 4th it should have been not:

Theme Name: Reddle

Rather:

Theme Name: Reddle Child

And it was missing there the line:

Template: reddle

Isn’t it?

b) I did not recognise the instruction:

Activate the child theme.

2nd:

However, now the content of the style.css within my reddle-child folder is:

/*
 Theme Name:   reddle-child
 Template:     reddle
*/

@import url("../reddle/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
       body.buddypress #primary {
              width: 100%;
       }
}

Is it correct?

Besides I activated the reddle-child theme, and deactiviated the reddle-theme. – Nevertheless it still not works.

3rd:

‘Copy over the content of Twenty Twelve’s full-width.php file into the new buddypress.php file.’

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-twelve-theme/

The ‘Reddle’-theme does not have any full-width.php

Therefore I took directly the code, which is mentioned there.

Therefore content of my buddypress.php within my reddle-child-folder is now:

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress: Full-width Page Template, No Sidebar
 *
 * A full-width template for all BuddyPress pages.
 *
 * @ since Reddle 1.0 and BuddyPress 2.1
 */

get_header(); ?>
 
    <div id="primary" class="site-content">
        <div id="content" class="full-width" role="main">
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
            <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
        </div><!-- #content -->
    </div><!-- #primary -->
 
<?php get_footer(); ?>

4th:

But nevertheless it does not work.
