problem changing "Blog CSS Settings" for BuddyPress Corporate

I changed the fonts in the Blog CSS Settings section of the Corporate Theme Options, but I’m not seeing those font changes on my site. I know that at least some of the options are working; for instance, I changed the Blog Welcome Message Settings, and those immediately showed up.

I noticed that an error log was generated in the Corporate theme folder on the server, and here’s what appeared in the error log after I changed the Blog CSS Settings:

[13-Dec-2009 14:48:34] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../../../wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:disappointed:usr/lib/php:disappointed:usr/local/lib/php:disappointed:usr/local/lib/php/ezc’:wink: in /home/xyzabc/public_html/wp-content/themes/1471580128_bp-corp115/bp-corporate/theme-options.php on line 4

I also tried changing the color of the Admin Bar; the color change didn’t appear, and the same error messages showed up in the error log.

Any idea what the problem is?

    hi danbutcher

    i think you upload the main folder too on your wp-content/themes

    /home/xyzabc/public_html/wp-content/themes/1471580128_bp-corp115/bp-corporate/theme-options.php

    this folder shouldn’t be uploaded…only bp-corporate upload to

    wp-content/themes

    cheers

    That makes sense now that you say it.

    Perhaps I’m the only one that has misunderstood, but I think the instructions for installing themes could be clarified. They say:

    3. Unzip the themes and you should see a single folder – for example: /bp-corporate/ not /bp-corporate/bp-corporate/

    4. Upload the /bp-corporate/ folder to /wp-content/themes/

    When I unzip the download, there is a single folder, and yes, it does contain the theme folder and the wpmu plugin folder, but over the years of using themes, I’ve seen a number of different configurations for how themes are packaged in folders, so I didn’t think this was odd.

    It would nice to see a readme in the main folder that says to upload the theme folder to the themes directory and the contents of the plugin folder to the plugins directory. My 2 cents–

    At any rate, uploaded just the theme folder and everything is working exactly as it should!
