Using BP Default 1.1.2 theme as blog theme
-
I recently upgraded from 1.0x to 1.1x. I was using the default theme(a separate copy) as a blog theme for a few blogs. Unfortunately, these themes broke after the upgrade (they show a white screen). I guess this is because the themes have several buddypress components that dont work with the new version.
I then tried to use the BP Default theme from 1.1x as a blog theme but that just shows the 3 widget sections from the front page instead of the blog posts.
How do I either:
Modify the old theme to work as a blog theme on BP1.1 or
Modify the new theme to work as a blog theme
I don’t recall making any significant changes to the old theme to use it as a blog theme but it dosnt seem to work the same way with the new theme.
Thanks!

The bp-default theme is a “child theme” of bp-sn-parent theme, and you copy the bp-default theme and rename the theme folder to e.g. mythemename to make a child theme of your own. It’s not easy. If you have strong CSS foundation and Firebug, this process will take a few hours to tweak if you already have a design in mind.

Btw, you can download latest BP 1.1.3 already
