Plugin Template is used instead of child theme template

Is that not the case?

Did you copy genesis-connect/templates/* to themes/your-theme/*?

ex genesis-connect/templates/groups to themes/your-theme/groups.

If so, then yes, GC uses the templates in your child theme folder.

Okay, I got it working now, I was copying templates to mytheme/buddypress/

thats why it wasn’t working.

One last question. It seems like this ignores certain genesis filters. in particularly the layout filters like

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

What is the easiest way to make all of my buddypress pages full width layout without using css to hide the sidebar.

Actually another last question.

Now that the php files are working how do I get the buddypress.css file to load from my theme and not the plugin. I placed it in my theme and when using firebug I see the styles are being loaded from the plugin

There are 2 dropdowns in the Genesis Connect settings screen to specify the layout on BP content.

Add your CSS as buddypress.css to your child theme.

thanks for the info.

in regards to the layout questions, I don’t see that at all under

Genesis > Connect Settings, in the layout tab only thing there is,

show activity on front page – checkbox
full width content – checkbox
buddypres before content – dropdown

Does your theme use the primary & secondary sidebar? If your theme has switched those out for custom ones then the drop downs are not shown.

My theme uses the Primary Sidebar and I have added a couple of other sidebars as well but I do not manipulate any of the default genesis sidebars in any way
