No, if you search (google, etc.) for thematic child themes, you can use those. You just have to change the Template: from thematic to buddymatic in the child theme’s style.css.

Delete the BP Template Pack plugin using FTP.

Thanks for the theme. I was wondering if there is a list of available child themes for download?

Cheers,
Jim

That’s being done by the Thematic devs. I believe it is in beta.

Hi Ron,

I downloaded and installed directly from the WP dashboard – version 0.9.6.4

I think this is the same version.

Ron,
Can you give any insight into when the BuddyMatic/Thematic merge will be complete and be compatible with WP 3.0?

Thank you,
Andre

Did you download the latest version of the theme from the link in the post?

Hi,

I’m new to WP and BP and am finding my way around slowly. I have successfully implemented WP3.0 with Thematic and have been able to set up a child theme and make a few modifications.

My problems start when I introduce BPand Buddymatic into the mix…

I’m starting with a clean WP3.0 installation, installing BP, changing the permalinks, and then installing the default BP theme. Everything works. Then I install and activate Buddymatic and I find that several of the pages that worked under the default theme simply don’t work in Buddymatic.

For example, when I select members under the default theme the url is http://mydomain.com/members and this works. If I activate Buddymatic it trys to find http://mydomain.com/members but then simply redirects to the home page – http://mydomain.com/

This happens to every page I try to select except those I’ve created myself in the dashboard. I’m sure this must be a simple setting I’m missing somewhere, but after searching for hours I’m still stuck.

I set up a local development environment to see if I could get things working there but I have exacly the same issue.

This is a real disappointment for me. It really looks like Buddymatic would provide the ideal starting point for me to learn more. I can’t believe that it doesn’t work out of the box, so I assume I’m missing a really simple but vital step.

The other thing I have found is that the redirection to the home page only happens in Firefox – I noticed that in IE I get 404 not found instead.

I’ve tried asking in some of the other forums but have had no help yet. I’d really appreciate any help you could give me.
