2. bp-default child themehttp://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
• Declare the parent theme in style.css
• Import the parent theme’s stylesheet
• Override the templates you want to replace
/*Theme Name: BP Cha-Ching!Template: bp-defaultTags: buddypress*/
/* Inherit the default theme styles */@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );
2. bp-default child themehttp://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
activity/footer.phpheader.phpindex.phpmembers/
activity-loop.phpindex.php
single/ activity.phphome.phpprofile.php
Directory structure matters!
2. bp-default child themehttp://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

• CUNY Academic Commons

Some examples:
3. From scratchLike mom used to make

3. From scratchLike mom used to make
bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.phpbp-blogs/bp-blogs-templatetags.phpbp-core/bp-core-templatetags.phpbp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.phpetc
Know your template tags
How do I know?
• Use the BuddyPress Template Pack when...
• you already have a WP theme, and want to add BP functionality
• Build a child theme of bp-default when...
• you want to maximize upgradability
• Build a theme from scratch when...
• you only need a few BP features, and maybe you don’t want it to look like BP at all
Большое срасибо!
