Need a way to override buddypress-functions.php

[modemlooper]

Can we allow by adding buddypress-functions.php to our theme folder the ability to use that file instead?

I believe you can.

bp_load_theme_functions() should look for buddypress-functions.php in the following order by default:

Array
(
    [0] => /wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/buddypress
    [1] => /wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/community
    [2] => /wp-content/themes/twentytwelve
    [3] => /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress
    [4] => /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/community
    [5] => /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy
)

This assumes that you're using Twenty Twelve as your active theme.

EDIT: I think it was the same issue with the theme switcher and ajax. Works now.
