[Support request] How to make core buddypress.css work in child theme

[Carsten]

Hi there, I want to edit the buddypress directly in the buddypress.css file.

So I created this path in my child theme: generatepress_child > buddypress > css > buddypress.css

from the original path: buddypress > bp-templates > bp-nouveau > css > buddypress.css

But the changes does not apply, not even if I add them to the core buddypress.css file.

In the buddypress bp-template core css folder there are som buddypress-companion-stylesheets I think they are called, for different themes,
like twentytwentytwo and twentytwentythree, do I need such a stylesheet for GeneratePress to make it work?

Hi Carsten,

If you want to totally change a stylesheet of a plugin, you need to dequeue it first. Then, you can enqueue your own version of the stylesheet.

Here’s a sample provided by Tom for divi-builder: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/child-theme-stylesheet-enqueue-order-to-override-plugin/#post-1297309

You just need to find the handle of the stylesheet for BuddyPress to dequeue it properly. It would be best to reach out to BuddyPress regarding this.
