Yep, it was WordPress SEO that led to the double title issue.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Yes, I have the WordPress SEO plugin, but all the “Title” fields in the plugin settings are blank. That’s probably the issue.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

The repeats were in the Page Title. So in the top of the browser windows themselves. I basically commented out all the code in and put in:

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

So it now no longer does duplicates.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Nevermind! I got it fixed finally. The commenting out was being a little difficult for me.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Great thanks! I had to add a class because some different widgets also had tables.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

The Widget styling works great! Thanks!

Unfortunately the table border styling doesn’t work. I tried putting it into the Child theme style.css as well as hard-coding it in reset.css just to check.

table{border:10px}

Using the same CSS code, I also have an issue where the the h5 tag doesn’t make the font smaller in the “Show Posts” Widget. The font is the same as if I select h2.

Sorry, don’t have a live url as it’s all done locally through Mamp. What I can do is give you all the styling code and a screenshot.

This is my customized style.css in my Child Theme:

/*
Theme Name:     LivingOS Mint Child
Theme URI:      http: //themeloom.com/
Description:    A Child Theme for LivingOS Mint
Author:         mashup
Author URI:     http: //themeloom.com/
Template:       LivingOS_Mint
Version:        1.0
Tags:	buddypress
*/

/* import parent styles */
@import url("../LivingOS_Mint/style.css");
@import url("../LivingOS_Mint/extend/buddypress.css");
@import url("../LivingOS_Mint/extend/layout.css");
@import url("../LivingOS_Mint/base/css/reset.css");

/* Changing colors of Favorite and Delete buttons in Activity feed */

.activity-meta  .button.fav, .activity-meta  .button.fav:visited{background-color: #e62727;}
.activity-meta  .button.fav:hover{background-color: #cf2525;}

.activity-meta  .button.delete-activity, .activity-meta  .button.delete-activity:visited{background-color: #91bd09;} 
.activity-meta  .button.delete-activity:hover{background-color: #749a02;} 

/* MENUS */
	.nav-menu{color:#666;}
	/* drop down superfsih menu skin */
	.nav-menu a, .page-menu a{font-size:1.5em;font-weight:normal;text-transform:normal;}
	.nav-menu a, .nav-menu a:visited  { 
		color:#666;
	}
	
	.nav-menu ul{

Hope this is helpful!

Ok thanks!

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Understood. So when I “Insert Images” into Pages and Posts, what options should I select for “Size”?

There’re 4 options and they all set the sizes:

Thumbnail (150×150)
Medium (300×103)
Full Size (597×205) [or whatever the original size is]

Ok! I finally figured out what it was! I had to do a fresh install of everything to check. In a nutshell, it was BP-Template-Pack.

I was using an old theme that didn’t natively support BP, so I used the Template Pack plugin to integrate BP into the theme. I went through the steps of the Template Pack and so it must’ve done something somewhere and changed the settings to override. Because when I deactivated just the Template Pack on the old wordpress setup, it was still grabbing the wrong css.

So now that I have everything fresh and didn’t go through the Template Pack steps this time, it works well.

So nice to have all these colors!

Thanks for all your help and hopefully this topic will help someone else with this unique situation!

I wish I could give you a URL, but like I said, it’s on my localhost. Otherwise, I would need to install the theme and buddypress onto my live site (which doesn’t have buddypress installed). This would be a major revamp of my current site.

So in the elements, I searched for “background”(not crossed out – strikethrough) and this is the order of the elements from top to bottom:

1.) This is in “reset.css:455” (background is blue)

.blue.button, .blue.button:visited {
background-color: #2981E4;
}

2.) This is in “reset.css:397” (background is grey – #666)

.button, .button:visited, input[type="submit"], input[type="button"], .generic-button a {
font-style: normal;
border: none;
background: #666 url(images/button-gradient.png) repeat-x;
display: inline-block;
padding: .75em 2em;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
-moz-border-radius: 1.25em;
-webkit-border-radius: 1.25em;
border-radius: 1.25em;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
text-shadow: 0 -1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
position: relative;
overflow: visible;
line-height: 1;
margin: 5px;
margin-left: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: nowrap;
cursor: pointer;
outline: none;
zoom: 1;
}

Does this help?

I just went through all the plugins again one by one and it’s definitely the BP plugin. I tried the other BP-* ones and they all provide the grey buttons.

Only when deactivating BP itself did I get the blue buttons.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Awesome thanks! I just learned how to create a Child Theme and it works well.

[yoyaohMember Post count: 20]

Looks great in v1.3!
