Yes. I am now a complete convert to the WP / BP system and have decided to convert a site I’ve had working fine and bringing in the BP component for the extra community elements. I am using a theme from WooThemes and have – after an hour – figured out how to restructure the BP pages to fit the theme’s um theme. http://xtreme.transmutationsciences.com/activity And will be working on the remaining BP pages.

Question, though, the BP pages are not displaying on the main menu – Activity, Members, Groups, Forums etc. Did I miss something?

Just create the links in your menu. url.com/activity

I was looking at your site, you are missing functions, and CSS templates, but maybe you have got that on your list

Yepppp … takin it slow.

So the instructions for “automatic conversion” aren’t very thorough cuz I keep discovering pages not listed that need to be manually converted. Registration and activation pages etc.

But here’s a different ? regarding customization. I am trying to get the member profile/login section into the sidebar. http://xtreme.transmutationsciences.com/activity and I have copied some code from another theme and have gotten that section in there. However, as you can see, the subsequent widgets aren’t cooperating and acting as if the login box was right justified.

The original sidebar was:
`

`

The significant item in the other theme’s code is “

When I copied the new sidebar I originally kept their version of the sidebar hook. But the section did not display. When I substituted “ the section displayed but then I have the alignment problem.

Can anyone diagnose my ineptitude?

Full sidebar code from the theme I an borrowing the code from.
`

<a href="”>

<a class="button logout" href="”>

<?php printf( __( ' You can also create an account.’, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . ‘/’ ) ) ?>

<form name="login-form" id="sidebar-login-form" class="standard-form" action="” method=”post”>

<input type="text" name="log" id="sidebar-user-login" class="input" value="” />

<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="sidebar-wp-submit" value="” tabindex=”100″ />

@thealchemist

Looking at the source of your page, the opening div is nowhere to be seen.
Did you inadvertently delete `

`?

[thealchemist]

I have it `

` then at the bottom I have “

[pcwriter]

Ah, that’s probably it. A div with an id of “sidebar-me” is not defined in your theme’s style.css.

Try changing that line back to `

`
Then wrap just the the login code in `

`

Should do it.

[thealchemist]

That was it!! Thank you.
One little tweak I can’t quite figure out … the login “widget” and the dynamic widgets following are crammed right against each other. Obviously, there’s a minor code I have missed relating to the css. I’m thinking I’ll cheat and just enter some spaces in the sidebar.php like `

 

` just before the dynamic sidebar line.

[thealchemist]

Hahahaha I beat it into submission. Grrrrrr
