Hey, any help available for this? it’s getting really frustrating, I have been trying to locate every css place by firebug but it’s not working, shouldn’t Tahoma font be the official one for Arabic rtl css? the font is so small without it., hope anyone can help as this problem is keeping me from getting my website live.

I use a child theme with only the style.css and footer template, wish to change all the fonts to Tahoma, thank you.
@cupid4
body,
input,
textarea {
Font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
}
@mercime I added what you mentioned in my child theme style.css but nothing changed at all.
It is really frustrating
I found this issue in tens of pages and posts and no solution
@mercime still the same issue with bp 1.8.1 , when I made the edits directly in buddypress default theme it worked right away, but no matter what I add to style.css of my child theme no changes are refelcted, any solution?
@cupid4 add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file –
EDIT – updated code http://pastebin.com/iKcPpM0L
@mercime thanks for help, but this code messed up the whole theme, visit my website and see.
contact me verd733@gmail.com and let’s see how i can help you out. 🙂
If you still need help.
-Tvery.
@cupid4 missed some lines, sorry. See updated version in my post above
@mercime thanks, the new code cleared the mess, but still no changes made to child theme are applied, I’m sure my edits are not wrong because it have been working before, all the problems started since moving bp-default off the themes folder and putting it in buddyporess folder. anyway I just copied the whole bp-default folder and changed theme name and started ding edits to it, will be harder than child themes to update, but it’s the only way I can get my website live for now, hope soon the problems with child themes are fixed.
btw, @mercime do you have any idea why registration page is saving all “select-down-list ” choices of last user who register and showing it always in register page? if you visited my website you will see that there are choices already selected even none of them is set as default, should I report this in buddypress trac?

@cupid4 there was a trac ticket posted about same issue but was resolved last year https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4362
all the problems started since moving bp-default off the themes folder and putting it in buddyporess folder.
The bp-default theme folder should be left as is in the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ folder and not moved to wp-content/themes/ folder
@mercime Thanks so much, I will check if this fix is applied to my install as it should or not then post in the ticket if it is the same.
– I meant when buddypress developers moved it, not me. it used to be in themes folder in earlier versions and child themes worked well back then.
what I did now is taking a copy of bp-default, renaming it, and put in themes folder, now it’s working, I was in a hurry because I want to start my website before certain date.
@cupid4 The ‘developers’ didn’t move anything , a good understanding of the changes in V 1.7 helps and the codex has some pages on theme compatibility changes. the bp-default theme still exists and in the same folder in the core files, a new folder was added for template files which serve the theme compatibility layer /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ these files are not the same as the older bp-default ones as they are template parts rather than full templates with header and footer calls.
Copying bp-default to your theme and re-naming doesn’t sound at all correct, this would not work! Your theme either activates the older bp-default theme in /appearance/themes in dashboard or it’s a child of bp-default and possibly then overloads files by copying e.g /members/index.php to your theme root else you activate any other theme and simply allow BP to run with it’s theme compatibility layer in that situation you can adjust templates by copying templates from /bp-templates/legacy/buddypress/ to /buddypress/ in your theme root, just don’t mix templates.
@hnla I don’t think you got what I did, I didn’t just rename the folder, I renamed the theme name in style.css to ( copy-budyypress ), and this new theme works and appear normally in dashboard/appearance, actually my website is live right now:
EgyCupid.com
is that what you were taking about? and is there a problem about that? cause I don’t think I got your point exactly.
