Look in your style.css file that will show where default.css is being called from.
That’s what I was looking for, but I don’t have a default.css file anywhere.
I have rtf.css, and style.css, in the theme editor. Neither of them look like the above code snippet.
Where do you see it?
look at the default.css look for the ‘body’ ruleset
<snip>
`
@import url( reset.css ); /* Reset browser defaults */
/* > Global Elements
*/
body {
background: #eaeaea url( ../images/background.gif ) top left repeat-x;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
color: #555;
width: 90%; <<<<<<<<<
min-width: 960px; <<<<<< delete
max-width: 1250px; <<<<<< delete
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 0 !important; /* Remove the top padding space for the admin bar in this theme */
}
body.activity-permalink {
min-width: 960px; <<<<< delete both change to width
max-width: 960px;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
margin: 5px 0 15px 0;
}
h1 { font-size: 28px; margin-bottom: 25px; }
h2 { font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; }
h3 { font-size: 20px; }
h4 { font-size:

Do all that in a copy of the file in your child theme otherwise the changes will be overwritten when you upgrade BP
Child theme can simply be a new folder under /themes containing new styles.css and calls to copies of the other BP stylesheets which you’ll modify in stead of the original, the codex/docs has greater detail on this.
yeah, your lengthly response the other day was a little over my head. It’s the standard buddypress default style. My problem is with knowing specifically where to make the change. Where specifically. In the CSS file? In the Header File? If in the CSS (as I assume) where do you see width:90%? And what min/max widths should I delete?
Sorry for the questions…Thanks for the answers
Hnla /Hugo answered your question on this original thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/header-image-not-fitting-on-site/
Please be mindful not to tie up resources around the net needlessly 
There was no reason not to have continued in the original thread and you should have done.
You have to be a little more liteeral then as to what you have been trying – sorry not wanting to come across too … but do need things explained in coding terms i.e reference actual elements, perhaps show the the snippets of code pertaining to the attempts, is this a child theme? does it work off the BP default styles or is it a unique layout, need some detail to be able to understand what you have tried.
Oh just checked the site strangely familiar! why did you feel the need to ask how to set a fixed width after the very lengthy post I made or did I miss a a question asked in the thread?
I’ve just changed the width on the body ruleset from width:90%; to width:900px; works for me! I would lose the min/max widths though.
oh, I mean I did put 900px…but no matter where its at the header doesn’t change
If you state a value then unless it’s zero it must have a unit, 900 what? banana skins, doughnuts, or perhaps px, em, %
could you tell me how to do that?
No nothing will if you don’t describe a unit!

Jobs are dependant on groups. That bug with the error message has been fixed already. Just uploaded the latest dev version onto the test site
@Dwenaus Yeah, I’m in it for the social networking. I think I actually tried job-manager yesterday, but it didn’t seem to play nice with Buddypress. I’m guessing some plugins for WordPress will work with BuddyPress, but not all…or?
I just tried Jobboardr. The CV part seems great, but I can’t figure out how to create job posts (is it disabled or am I going blind? ). Also, I tried to create a group (thinking jobs might be dependent on groups), but a got an error message saying “Please fill in all required fields.” when pressing “Next Step” on the privacy settings page (public/private/hidden group).

@svenl77
The plugin still needs some work to properly check for hidden and private groups. I’ll have to do some fancy db querying to get there, but it’s in the works
The plugin as it is now is ready for release, but our online shop needs another 2 days, so the release date now is this monday (11. Oct.). I’ll have the group stuff properly sorted by then.
Restricting the attendees is a good idea, so I’ll put that on the roadmap. Right now it’s not possible
Anonymous User 96400Inactive
Yep, that’s possible. As Bowe said, you can check out my plugin at test.jobboardr.com. The plugin works on the bleeding edge version of BuddyPress, though, which has been a long time in the works. That’s the main reason why it’s not available yet. I’ll def. make it compatible with 1.2.6 and then release it.
As for the marketplace, I coded a shopping cart that integrates with groups, so it’s definitely possible. It’s quite complex, so you’ll probably want to hire a developer to do it for you, as I can’t release my code to the public.
There is a job posting plugin in the works by @travel-junkie.. check out http://test.jobboardr.com/
I think you need to pay a bit for the plugin but his work and support makes it worth it (imo).
@babelsheep yes this is possible and a good idea for a plugin. However If all you need is a job board and you don’t need social networking then I believe there are wordpress plugins that do this well.https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/job-manager/ is one choice but there are others.
hi @r-a-y thanks for helping.
no thats nto what I was looking for. I have categoris in my blog and I want to show them on the main page in columns.
1Category | 2Category 3…
title | title
content | content
how do I have to change this code:
php the_content( __( ‘Read the rest of this entry →’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
to get the content (the title ofcourse,date..) of a special category?
Try simple press forums http://simple-press.com/ is very usefull and autointegrate your network users. This plugin is not integrate with buddypress groups. You´ll need create the forum index page outside groups.
I had the same error and still wanted to use the theme – after I renamed it and got rid of the error message, I tried disabling the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin I’d installed to try to get a normal WordPress theme to work. Then I went back and applied the same buddypress theme again, this time with no problems.
@helijussila
Yes activity is not viewable despite super admin access to hidden groups, I had a feeling I’d seen a ticket on this, and just ran across it again:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2602
So upgrading to 1.2.6 should sort the issue out,
