BuddyPress

I installed the Platform theme of PageLines and installed the Buddypress plugin as well. Now, if I go to the pages of Buddypress on my website, the Sidebar is pushed down. It’s being showed underneath the content of Buddypress. Check http://www.voetbalspecialisten.nl/community/leden/ for example and you’ll know what I mean.

How can I fix this?

Thanks for your help!

Platform is *supposed* to have BuddyPress support, so I looked at the CSS route via Firebug. Sure enough, some minor tweaks “lifted up” your sidebar to where it’s supposed to be.

Add this to your stylesheet to lift up the sidebar.:

#buddypress-page #content {
    float: left;
    width: 600px;
}

If you want to bring in the BP elements that extend the horizontal border, etc, add following to stylesheet as well to start:

#buddypress-page #content .padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0px 0 !important; }
#buddypress-page .item-list li { padding: 1em 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }
ul#members-list, ul#groups-list { list-style-type: none; margin-left: 0; }

Add other styles to taste.

If the above solution works for you, please close the WP.org forum post as resolved. Cheers.

It works!! Thank you so much!!

You’re welcome

Not sure if this is the proper place to put this, been trying to navigate these forums for a while, and boy, I’m sure a newbie. But I have buddypress running with twentyeleven, ran the buddypress converter plugin as well, and created a child theme for twenty eleven. I’ve been making adjustments and so far everything is working alright except for the sidebar getting pushed down. I’ve tried to implement all kinds of options based on other answers I’ve read here and elsewhere, but so far nothing seems to work. Am I missing something obvious? Please help! For example it is happening on this page: http://inchelan.com/user-groups

Thank you so much.

Also, please direct me to a better place to post this is this is not correct. thanks!

@amberseree you should start a new topic instead of adding onto a topic re totally different theme

In any case, check out the style mods for Twenty Eleven given here http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/3/

thanks, sorry! Will do.
