[Resolved] BP insists on displaying default theme, not mine

    Hi folks,

    I installed this great plugin to my blog. I also installed BP Template Pack and completed step-by-step guide in order to make my theme compatible with BP. Finally, I added “buddypress” tag into my theme’s style.css.

    Everything seems to be OK, however BP continues to display bp-default theme files, not my customized ones.

    What am I forgetting?

    I run WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1.

    Thank you in advance…

    Gokhan

    @fonemi Have not encountered this before but I would go first with removing the “buddypress” tag from your theme’s style.css file. Which WP theme are you using with the BP template pack plugin?

    There is no change when I remove the tag.

    My theme is a custom theme, it’s coded by me :)

    Your probably missing some files for the theme to function correctly with BuddyPress. Can you take a snapshot of your themes folder so we can see if anything is missing?

    BP Template Pack has already copied required files/folders to my theme’s folder.

    activity/*
    blogs/*
    forums/*
    groups/*
    members/*
    registration/*

    Then your missing something essential in your theme. Otherwise it would work. It could be a single line of code in the style.css or elsewhere.

    Here is my style file header:

    `/*
    Theme Name: Apart2
    Theme URI: http://www.bascek.com
    Description: Another WP theme.
    Author: Gokhan Ozturk
    Version: 1.0
    Tags: buddypress
    */`

    I don’t think that any file is missing since everything works fine except BuddyPress.

    Is there a way to debug this issue?

    OK thank you for your help. I resolved the problem.

    Since BP Template Pack did copying, files’ owner and group has been set as web server’s user. And in FTP program, I didn’t notice the error that said “overwrite failed” :)

    I chowned files/folders and there is no problem now.
