@illusionApp – what exactly isn’t working? is the sidebar not aligned correctly? or…?
We have some codex entries that might also help – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Oh silly me.
The header and menu bar background seems to be vertically misaligned.The original header seemed to use a clearfix css hack to vertically align the header and navigation menu into place right under the original wordpress admin bar. Doesn’t seem to work with the BuddyPress admin bar though.
Also, the BuddyPress admin bar doesn’t span the entire width of the page.

you can go back the the wordpress toolbar by adding
define( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true ) to your bp-custom.php file – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
The buddybar is being depreciated, so it’s no longer worth messing around with it to get it perfect (and the wordpress toolbar is alot cooler lookin’)
Haha. I guess I’ll get used to the WordPress admin bar.
Anyways, that worked perfectly and almost everything is in alignment now.
I just noticed one last small problem.

The dropdown menus on the right side of the Buddypress pages seem to get cut off like in the picture and I don’t quite know what is causing that.
That happens every time i use the template pack css.
add this to your css…
div.item-list-tabs ul li.last {
margin-right: 40px;
}
I tried that out but it wouldn’t work.
Then I went in to the template css file and changed with width of div.item-list-tabs ul to 99% instead of 100% and it fixed the alignment problem.
I don’t quite understand why it works but it works.
Thanks for all the help, Chris.
Now time for me to go back in and fix all the divs for the Buddypress pages to match my theme.
