Description

Since r9883 we're using the template name instead of the stylesheet name to let people override the companion stylesheet from their child theme. But in the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/css/twentyfifteen.css stylesheet, the comment at the top is saying :

If you are running as a child theme of twentyfifteen and wish to use
this stylesheet then please copy it to buddypress/css/ or community/css/
in your child theme root and rename the file to match your child theme name
i.e. in child theme named 'twentyfifteen-child', twentyfifteen.css would become
'twentyfifteen-child.css

If you do so, the /themes/twentyfifteen-child/buddypress/css/twentyfifteen-child.css will not override the bundle stylesheet, it needs to be /themes/twentyfifteen-child/buddypress/css/twentyfifteen.css for it to work.

I've also noticed the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/css/twentyfourteen.css was not including this comment. Maybe it would be a good idea to :

  • include the comment just like it's the case for twentyfifteen
  • or create a page in the codex and add a link to it in both companion stylesheet, so that if the rule is changing, we can deal with it from this codex page..

@imath - oops yes indeed comments are incorrect now - I'll look to update them for both sheets and also add a link to a codex page for more detailed info for good measure.

Great spot, thanks for highlighting this.
