[Resolved] Friend button styling

I’ve read https://buddypress.org/support/topic/is-bp-friends-template-php-editable/ and http://blog.maximusbusiness.com/2013/09/bp-custom-add-friend-button/ so I understand how the friends buttons work, and how they get their classes but I have been looking and looking and looking and I can’t find any CSS files that contain those classes. I realise I could just add a class to the array and use that, but I’d still like to find where they currently exist. Many thanks for any pointers.

Hi @ksmithlondon,

the add friend button on members directory or profile header is styled here
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css
line 761

The class=”friendship-button not_friends add” is not used by CSS.

The class name comes up in:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends/bp-friends-template.php between line 352 > 410

and is also used in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js:1211

Next time instead of looking and looking and looking, simply search. And use the appropriate tools which will do this for you 😉

Firebug and Notepad++ in this case, taked me less than 5mn. 😉

Thanks Dan.

I did search across every file (using Brackets), so I found the .js and .php files where it’s used, but those classes were not found in any CSS file in my installation. Sorry, ‘looking’ was probably misleading. I meant I had searched thoroughly, using any one of a number of appropriate tools 🙂

I did find *some* of the attributes of the button, but not, for example, where the ‘Add friend’ button is getting its colour from, which is different to the ‘Send private message’ button for example. Some CSS has to be differentiating those two buttons, surely? And the colour in mine doesn’t appear anywhere in any CSS except for a class that isn’t applied to these buttons at all.
