BuddyPress.org

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.

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’…

I have created within my child-theme-folder a functions.php with that code; but it still not works.

Yes, I have

• a folder wp-content/themes/reddle-child

and inside that folder:

• a style.css. It’s content is:

/*
 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%;
}

• a functions.php. It’s content is:

<?php

/**
 * Enqueue stylesheet
 */
function reddle_child_theme_stylesheet() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'reddle-child-themestyle', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'reddle_child_theme_stylesheet' );

• and a buddypress.php. It’s content is:

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress: Full-width template
 *
 * A custom page template without sidebar.
 *
 * @ since Reddlle 1.3.1 and BuddyPress 2.1
 */

get_header(); ?>
 
	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" 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(); ?>

@mercime:

Let’s double-check that you have all the necessary materials:
– theme folder e.g. reddle-child
– style.css file in reddle-child theme folder
– function<strong>s</strong>.php file in reddle-child theme folder
– buddypress.php file in reddle-child theme folder

Should it be ‘function.php’ [singular] or ‘functions.php’ [plural]?

Cfr. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-2-1-bp-language/page/2/#post-199810:

‘You need to put this code in function.php in your child theme.’

Please, make an effort to read more carefully the answers you receive and avoid asking for the same thing in multiple topics ! 👿

@mercime: functions

1st:

The file name is functions.php

@mercime wrote ‘functions‘!

It was @shpitzyl (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-2-1-bp-language/page/2/#post-199810), who wrote ‘function’ (without ‘s’).

‘Please, make an effort to read more carefully’ 😉

2nd:

I guess, different users follow different topics. 🙂

Thank you for answering. And I understood the answer.

And my file name is with “s”.

Best

🙂

But nevertheless it does not work.

@mercime:

It’s resolved now; the child-theme was activated only for the network-level, but not for the root-blog-level. Activating it for the root-blog-level as well, it works:

Thank you, @shpitzyl (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-2-1-bp-language/page/2/#post-200062).
