Hello, please go to wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php copy the file and paste it at wp-content/themes/kleo/buddypress/members/single/messages/ (if a folder is missing, create it)
Then edit the file as a text and Find

COPY CODE

<input type=”text” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”<?php bp_messages_subject_value(); ?>” />

Replace it with this:

COPY CODE

<input type=”hidden” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”private message” />

Hello, i saw you do not have a child theme, did you know that after a theme update you will lose all your changes? That is why the child theme is for, it came with your files, please install and activate it, then move all your changes to there, just so you know, the child is like a mirror, if you want to override something from theme, you copy the path of the file by creating the same folders and using the same filename, for example if you want a code in the header.php you do not edit it form main theme, you copy the header.php of main theme then paste it in the child theme, then edit it. Those changes will never update so will never be lost.

Please do this before we can move on this topic issue 🙂

Hello, we already did this for you, you will find sweetdate-child in your downloaded .zip from themeforest, just install it and activate it. The changes you have done could be:

– CSS: if you did css changes, locate them at Styling Options (main theme) Scroll down to Quick Css, copy the codes if you have, now in ftp, go to wp-content/themes/sweetdate and find style.css, as we dont know what changes you could have done, copy the full code and paste it here http://text-compare.com/ then the text to compare will be the default style.css found in your .zip (main theme) Then you can find what have changed and replicate it.

If you find a code changed in style.css, do not copy the full page, because if you ever want to override a style you wont be able because you copied the full page.
For example, if you find something like

COPY CODE

.sample {
color: blue;
}

And in default theme it was black
that means you changed it, so copy that part :

COPY CODE

.sample {
color: blue;
}

To the child theme style.css 🙂 I hope this is not very complicated

– PHP if you have changed php files, and you know what files you changed, just copy them and paste them in child theme, mirrowing the path, for example you changed header.php so you should copy it and paste it inside child theme, but if the file is located at for example sweetdate/members/single/member-header.php you have to replicate the path so its sweetdate-child/members/single/member-header

Your users should use the child theme also if you want them to see your changes

Finally, your theme settings can be exported from Sweetdate panel and imported to sweetdate child the same way

Hello, you should replicate any change done by php, if you changed functions on the main theme you should add them as i said before to the child theme, maybe thats why in child it doesnt appear.
If its too difficult you could hire me for custom work at http://www.laura-solanes.com

Hello, fixed, i added this

COPY CODE

<div style="display:none;">
            <input type="" name="subject" id="subject" value="New Message" />
</div>

In the place of the subject in compose.php of child theme, if you need to translate the theme, edit compose.php in child theme and find “New Message” then change it as you want, this is the default Subject for all messages
