    Hi im new to wordpress so bear with me if I don’t use the right technical vocabulary.
    I wanted to make a social networking site with buddypress(1.9+) but when I select a bp child theme it says I don’t have the parent theme.
    I just activated the bp plugin and have no other active plugins. I downloaded and installed wordpress using Microsoft webmatrix3 so when I looked for the parent theme bp-default in the buddypress folder it was there.
    So How do I let the child theme know I have the parent theme already?

    For the time being you can create a file named bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins directory and put this line

    add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' );

    That will make the bp default theme available.
    hope that helps.
