1) all in the css. the default theme is all based on percentages with some max-width’s in place. If you want to change that to a fixed width, run through the code via firebug and check out where the widths are coming from and simply change them in your css.
2) yes, this is your friend here:
`
<?php
global $current_user; // Get user’s information
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_level=$current_user->user_level;
$user_id=$current_user->ID;
$user_login=$current_user->user_login;
$user_email =$current_user->user_email;
$user_firstname=$current_user->user_firstname;
$user_lastname=$current_user->user_lastname;
$home_link = get_option(‘home’);
?>`
then
`<a href="” class=”profile”>View My Profile `
and
`<a href="” class=”messages” title=”Messages”>Messages (10)`
and so on…
What pages are both of these on…
(new to code)
@jamesmcbennett I looked at your members and forums directory and looks like something went awry with your HTML structure since last time you posted at the forums.
With regards to your question, add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:
`div#subnav.item-list-tabs {
margin: -15px 0 15px !important;
}`
On issue 1 @terydinho
what page do I put the code
On issue 2 @mercime
It was like this from beginning, I tried to figure it out, but can’t
the above change doesn’t work and gives very slight change of moving things right. If I change both 15’s to 115’s, it brings the edge of buddypress right allowing more room for sidebar, but doesn’t show anymore of the buddypress with ‘last active’ still chopped off to side by exact same amount.
Hi James, it depends on where you want this to show as to where you put it. I have mine in a footer file, because my client wanted a footer menu, but if you want this in your navigation, you’d have to either hard-code your nav or hook it into the end of your nav somehow.
How are you generating your top level navigation at the moment?
It’s in the header (by theme)
I just used the wp-admin page to create a menu and set it as primary navigation menu.
On issue#1 – need to clear cache. Better yet, open site with another browser. Added style works.
On issue #2, you might also want to try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/installation/ where you’d have to add
`
`
just below your wp_nav_menu in your theme’s header.php
Caveat: you would need to manually change the div classes/ID of the menu UL/LI in the plugin’s bp-profile-menu.php file
Save yourself the hassle if you aren’t a proficient coder and go with @mercime ‘s method of the plugin – that is quite a sweet little bit of kit 
Nice find @mercime
I think I messed it up, not sure what’s wrong…

I copied and pasted stylesheet

from your stylesheet. You’ll then find that the style you pasted below that will work then.
Deleted above code from stylesheet.
http://www.fabsie.com/forums still doesn’t work.
Any other tips.
Also not sure how to get part II working.
Plugin Installed
header .php now reads
`
<html >
<meta charset="” />
<body id="” >
`
Not sure what you mean by
“Caveat: you would need to manually change the div classes/ID of the menu UL/LI in the plugin’s bp-profile-menu.php file”
@mercine
Great, got it a little bigger, now back to this….
http://www.fabsie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/buddypressproblem.png
any idea how to move the “last active” to left.
Flexi-header.php
What should I modify and how do I get the profile/mesages links into the nav links?
http://pastebin.com/ZwCEHiZy
Possibly this might help
http://www.fabsie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/corrections-fabsie.png
The
div#subnav.item-list-tabs {
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px !important;
}
moves the GREEN LINE
I want to move the dropdown menu saying “last active” towards left so that it fits within the white rectangle (green dashed line) without being cropped.
@mercine The above code is controlling the wrong part…..
So on my header page I have placed the code you provided and activated plugin to get profile link in main nav meny.
I can either get it one line below (current http://pastebin.com/xJ5Y02nA) or by moving the new code up one or two lines, the “Profile menu” appears above the line above main nav menu. Is there a way to get it on the same line.

== Is there a way to get it on the same line. ==
Adjust style of the navigation menu to add space for the new profile link on the right of the default navigation UL. Use Firebug, a Firefox add-on, to identify the styles that affect the positioning of the custom navigation and move it to the left
@mercime I still can’t figure out how to get it on one line……
Here is header…
