I’m having alignment issues with my WordPress / Buddy Press setup. The sidebar is below the buddypress content?
Can you help with my alignment issues?

Hello Everyone,
I plan to launch few websites using buddypress.
All sites will be ‘almost’ same type, the only difference will be the topic of the site.
What I mean is that all sites will be “consumer complaint and discussion sites” focused on various different complaints or topics.
The complaint form will have same number of fields but the field descriptions/titles will be changed to better fit the topic of the complaint site.
Each site will have it’s own unique domain name, even though they will all be sharing same/single buddypress install.
So I have the following questions:
1. Can buddypress provide full complaint/discussion site functionality for people to complain about various issues or discuss any topic? Do I need a plugin for submitting complaints or topics?
2. Is it possible to setup a social network of many sites (each with different domain name) using same buddypress install?
3. Is it possible to share users among all sites so that they can login to any site in the network withOUT registering again? In other words: same user profile for all sites in the network.
4. If #3 above is possible, then is it possible to keep the user blogs, forums, groups, activity, etc all separate from site to site?
5. Is there a plugin available to have multi-network buddypress sites setup properly?
6. Will all the networks ‘have to’ use the same exact theme?
7. How many maximum number of network sites can be installed on a single buddypress install without breaking it?
Note: The reason I want to have a multi network on single buddypress install is so that it is easy to manage using single admin panel.
Please advise if this is even possible or do I just need to use separate buddypress for each site?
Thank you very much for your help.
== I have selected the ‘full-width’ layout for the Member Profiles page (that is set up through buddy press settings). ==
@tynkit The full width layout was set up for the Members Directory page. The internal Members and other component pages will take on the default page layout. In order to have full control of the layout for all BP pages, you would have to change the HTML structure of the BP template files per structure of your theme’s special pages.
e.g. Full width page like your contact us page, superimpose the html structure of that file over the template files in /members/ directory transferred to your Volt theme folder in server -> those template files which have the get_header and get_footer
B. COPY Sidebar A template http://pastebin.com/8TQg5dmt and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php file and at the very TOP of the file, add this:
``
Then in the same file, at the very BOTTOM below other code add this:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/volt/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
@raetona Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your volt theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your volt theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
NOTE: If the following doesn’t work out for your installation as some options may not work within BP pages, please contact theme author and refer him/her to this topic.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<?php
/* Fetch admin options. */
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if(isset($value) && isset ($value))
if (get_option( $value ) === FALSE) { $$value = $value; } else { $$value = get_option( $value );}
} ?>
@pilarmontesluna Buena suerte. Háganos saber si usted tiene algún problema con las instrucciones. Gracias a google translate 
@nggablog What you have in your main navigation – Forum > Gossip & Celebrity, etc. are from your Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin). In the meantime, daniabrooks has not joined a Group with a forum and therefore has not posted any forum topics yet.
I don’t think anyone has created a plugin to merge BP with SMF or phpbb
Hi @mercime, thanks for the help! I’d like to use the “Right Sidebar A” layout, because I don’t need a full width template and I’d like to have a sidebar. Something similar to the buddypress test-drive site ( http://testbp.org/members/johnjamesjacoby/profile/ ).

Hi guys
I have a new wordpress site with buddypress on top.
I have installed the follower plugin in order to make users follow the authors they like (important feature).
However, it is a bit difficult to navigate via the toolbar -> profile -> activity -> following.
Can I make a direct link to the users own activity stream (following)? (for example a link from a menu or inside some page to this: domain.com/members/[USERNAME-OF-LOGGED-IN-USER]/following/
Or alternatively insert the activity stream (following) on a new page?
I’m not sure really. I just know that the previous version didn’t have that code change the current one has.
this is the code im currently using and want to change
$username_link = ‘‘.$username.’‘;
I found this code in the bp profile but it didnt work
a href=”‘.$bp_user_link.'”>Profile</a ( i know the obvious why this exact code wouldnt work)
where would i find the link that when a user click on it, it will take them to their bp profile page?
@mercime
Thank you so much. The error has gone. 
But, what does the functions of buddypress’s forum?
I didn’t find any content/forum post even a member have some posting in the main forum (bbpress).
“Sorry, there were no forum topics found.”
@mercime now you mention it, in the zip, the page.php file, looks the same I posted before. And the index.php shows: http://pastebin.com/U2FNWCT6
If you want to see the theme, I can send you the zip
@nstjwz something’s awry. The index.php code you posted is that of BuddyPress – Activity Directory page and that code in page.php will not generate any content.
Can you unzip the original theme folder and check if the page.php has the same code there, just in case the file you have uploaded has been corrupted.
Hello, I am new to buddypress and I am working on my website http://www.austhorse.com.
The theme that I am using has multiple page templates and I have selected the ‘full-width’ layout for the Member Profiles page (that is set up through buddy press settings). Despite this, the sidebar still appears on the individual member profile. I am very confused. I have removed the PHP call to get sidebar, tried setting up another new page with the full width layout and just not having any luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks 
I manage to convert SMF to phpbb and from phpbb to bbPress. However I didn’t like the bbPress-forum.. and somehow the different boards from SMF and phpbb didn’t work out in bbPress..
Is there some way to connect either SMF or phpbb to buddypress?
I found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
and that might be a solution, but I think it would be better if it was more integrated with buddypress
Unfortunately, there’s not a default integration and that makes things even more complicated as they’ll all of them have to work together!
im using login-logout plugin and after they login, i wanted to redirect them to the buddypress profile page, what link would i use? I tried to find it in buddypress files but i didnt know where to look.
You’ll definitely want to test against WP eMember. (You should do this on a local install and not your production site!)
BuddyPress has its own registration page that might not gel with WP eMember. Might need to build a companion plugin that integrates properly.
Thanks! Just wanted to be sure it wasn’t a simple built in feature before I dove in and tried to do it by hand
I had seen other pages on the ‘net referring to the buddypress user list and screenshots that showed it, those must have been from the previous < 1.2 versions.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for your reply ray!
I’m actually currently using a paid one called WP eMember, but as I’m interested in adding a rewards system as well I thought I might switch to Buddypress in order to use the plugins that integrate with it.
