Goody! I’d like to incorporate this into my new theme framework (coming along nicely…). That is, if you don’t mind credit and some link love 😉
I couldn’t figure out how to do it without the key but, now it looks doable. Thanks a bunch!

@suchaqd
Thanks Michael. That’s what I was going to suggest 🙂

@johnsoce18

Have you checked that everything under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup” in your WP backend is set and active?
Have you setup forums under “Buddypress” > “Forum Setup”?

@modemlooper Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked at some grid frameworks, but didn’t want to go that route for this theme. I’m keeping it in mind for future projects though. @bowromir Bingo! Silly me and my thick head 😉 I was working with fixed-width sidebars. Percentages didn’t even occur to me for them. Your suggestion got […]

Rats! I thought I had it. Putting more widgets in the sidebar to test, another puzzle popped up:

By adding position:absolute; to the sidebar, it no longer increases the height of the content div if it’s longer. Back to the drawing board… 🙁

Lol…

After hours of puzzling this over, I finally ask a question in this forum, and then inspiration hits me.
Solved the puzzle with a simple margin-left:0; and position:absolute;

@doralevich

I presume you’re asking about the “standard” Buddypress adminbar. Make sure your custom theme has the call to wp_footer in its footer template See here for more:

@bkng

I just visited and yes, I think you’ve got it!
There’s another problem though: I can’t log out of your site.

@bkng

I just created an account on your site to see if I can locate the problem. it appears to be just with Site Activity and Members Activity. I’ll see what i can find (I’m looking through the theme..)

Have you tried with just the Buddypress Default theme to see if the problem still appears?

@bkng

Could you post a link to your site? I could take a look…

See this response to your earlier thread:

WoW! Funny you should ask just now 😉 I just started putting together a site so folks can take BuddyLite Premium for a test drive. It`s got a fully functional backend admin panel (only the BuddyLite Theme Settings are accessible) with all the customization options one could hope for in a theme framework. And, get […]

Dive in! You really do need to have a basic grasp of HTML/CSS if you’re going to get anywhere with WP/BP.
…and don’t forget to allow yourself to have fun while you’re pulling out your hair! 😉

In “Community”, I only see Activity, Members and Groups. In “My Account”, I see Activity, Profile, Messages, Friends, Groups, Albums, Settings, Logout (with appropriate subnavs). The Create a Group button is only seen in the Group directory (where it should be), but you can grab the code from groups/index.php and add it to other templates […]

I just created an account on your site and was able to create a group just the way it’s supposed to be done (the “Create a group” button is in the Groups directory).
Forums aren’t enabled yet on your site, are they? You can do that in your WP backend under “Buddypress” > “Forums Setup”.

Ah yes, child themes are one of the MOST important things to learn when it comes to BP.
Here’s a link to the codex tutorial:

Could you post a link to your site? I could register there and see if I can help out.

@Tekuan_Coleman Gotcha! Here’s how… 1- Enable “Hide Main Theme Nav”, “Add WordPress pages/menus”, “Add Buddypress components” and “Scroll with pages”. 2 – Go to “Sizes & Position” and adjust the “Overall navbar width” to the width of your template. 3 – Play around with “Vertical offset” and “Horizontal offset” until you get it positioned about […]
