I see Theme X has custom styling for BuddyPress. How can I edit this using the child theme?

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

Request you to kindly walk-through following thread:

Thanks.

So basically just copy the BuddyPress plugin into the Theme X Child plugins folder, delete all of the copy’s files, but keep the folder structure, and only keep the files that I want to change?

Hi there,

Nope, not the plugin. But buddypress templates located at /x/buddypress/ and duplicate it into /x-child/buddypress/

You don’t have to delete anything, and you also don’t have to copy everything. Just copy/duplicate some specific templates you wish to edit or customize.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Question: when I copy these into the child theme, if Theme X updates and adds BuddyPress stuff, wouldn’t this prevent me from getting those new additions?

Hello There,

No, child theme doesn’t prevent you from anything. Your child theme allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. You can have all your customizations in the child theme and all other BuddyPress changes. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Let us know if this has been helpful to you.

Thanks!

One more thing. I can’t seem to figure out why the Groups page has two titles, and don’t know how to remove the second.

Hello There,

To remove the other header, please add the following css code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS

.groups .entry-wrap .entry-header {
    display: none;
}

Please let us know how it goes.

[AndrewParticipant]

PERFECT!!! Thank you! Is there a reason it was displaying there? I feel like it should normally be like that.

[Rue NelModerator]

Hello There,

You are always welcome. That is not supposed to display there. Please try to switch the page template to Blank Container and see what happens.

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.
