BuddyPress design development theme themes

shared by Vernon Fowler on 23 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • This guide is for building themes for BuddyPress 1.2 and above.
  • The default BuddyPress theme is not located in the usual /wp-content/themes/ directory. It is stored in the BuddyPress plugin folder
  • Note the “Template:” entry, which tells WordPress that we want to use the BuddyPress default theme (bp-default) as the parent theme
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • your own theme is in /wp-content/themes/
  • and the tag “buddypress”
  • to inherit the CSS, in BP 1.5+, you don’t have to do anything!  Just start writing your new styles in style.css and skip to section 3
  • copy this file and paste it directly into your child theme’s folder (the same place as your style.css file)
  • if you want to override a template file that is in a sub folder, you must also recreate the sub folder in your child theme
  • There is one exception to the template override rule — functions.php.
