How do you edit the header file?

Honestly I am very confused. Since they eliminated bp-sn-parent I tried looking at the core php files to alter the header markup but this was the only thing in the file.

> id=”bp-default”>

• class=”selected”>
• class=”selected”>
• class=”selected”>
• class=”selected”>
• class=”selected”>
• class=”selected”>

Does anybody know if this relates to another PHP file, is this some strange hook, or some weird error (everything else is working fine).

Any help would be much appreciated

@geekoftodd: Post your code using pastebin (pastebin.com) as it’s not showing in the forum

The header.php file for the default BuddyPress theme is in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default

Keep that theme where it is, and develop your child theme (derived from bp-default) in the standard themes directory

geekoftodd – Just judging by your Pastebin code, it sounds like you have a corrupted header.php file; unless you incorrectly pasted the contents of it.

Corrupted or exploited? Iframes are the devils work and should have been outlawed ages ago and are removed in any sane schema.

@geekoftodd is that really all you have in the header.php file in bp-default? If you site looks ok with the default install, that can’t be the case.
If the default install isn’t displaying correctly, try deleting and then reinstalling the theme.
As the guys point out – just type the basic URL of your pastebin snippet in your message here, don’t embed as an iframe
