    I am trying to adjust the html for the BP Template Pack plugin install and cannot get my sidebar to keep from getting pushed to the bottom. I have read different forums and tried different things, but I’m missing something. So far I have just been trying it on the index.php file in the Activity folder placed in my theme by BP.

    Here is my page.php file from my template: http://www.pastie.org/1684103

    Help! (and many thanks!)

    Have you read this? http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

    You now have six BuddyPress template folders transferred to your active WP theme folder in server which you should download to your computer to edit.

    Open up the first file in activity/index.php file and make the following changes:

    At the top of the file, replace:

    <?php get_header() ?>
    <div id="container">
    	<div id="content">

    with:

    <?php get_header() ?>
    <div id="contentwrapper">
    	<div id="content">

    At the bottom of the activity/index.php file replace:

    </div>
    </div>
    <div id="sidebar">
    	[SIDEBAR CONTENT]
    </div>
    <?php get_footer() ?>

    with

    </div>
    	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer() ?>

    Save file and upload. Check alignment by going to http://yoursiteDomain.com/activity/. If all’s well, start making the changes on the remaining 12 files and upload to server within respective folders/subfolders.
