Lush Child Theme Beginner Question

[travis wigginsMember Post count: 4]

I’m trying to make some tweaks to the Lush theme in a child theme, but I’m having trouble.

Here’s what I did:

I created a new directory ..wp-content/themes/lushchildtheme

I created a new style.css

This is all that I wrote in style.css

/*
Theme Name: Lush Child Theme
Theme URI: http://theacnezone.com
Description: Child Theme for Lush
Author: Travis
Author URI: http://theacnezone.com
Template: LivingOS-Lush
Version: 0.1
*/

@import url(“../LivingOS-Lush/style.css”);

#dropdown-menu {
float: left;
}

that’s all, and it worked and made the nav menu float left no problem. The problem is that now I get this error message:

You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features.

Even with this message buddypress seams to be working fine.

So my question is, did i start my child theme correctly? and what’s with this error message?

You have to enable the theme’s buddypress support in Appearance-Theme Options.

Sorry, I should have explained earlier.

I had already enabled buddypress in theme options, and all of buddypress funtionality seams to be working, but I still get this error message.

Oh well I guess I could just ignore the message since everything is working.

Are you sure you mean BuddyPress? You do get a message when BBPress is running (the forums) and you can safely ignore the message. The theme is compatible and the plugin was supposed to theme independent – the message is a little misleading.

I had this message, it was down to a typo in the css file.

Explanation here:

The official way to remove it is via adding the tag ‘buddypress’ to your theme style.css comment header (the section where you tell wordpress your theme’s name).

eg.
/**
* Theme Name: My Themes
* Tags: buddypress
**/
