ok, i will check there. thank you

Hello,

extended profiles is enabled. I am using the default buddypress theme. I have permalinks set to non-default. Does it have anything to do with my blog not being my main page (instead of pangeastable.com it is pangeastable.com/my-palate). I’m thinking it may have something to do with the permalinks but I have no idea where to begin correcting this. I’m using yahoo hosting so you can install wordpress through our yahoo admin center. I also tried installing wordpress manually and ran into the same problem.

@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 me going where I wanted to go with my fluid theme. Thanks a bunch!

I final got what I was looking for. Here is the code if anyone wants to try it or use it. Paste it in the functions.php of your child themes. What it does is removes the orginal function for the “My Blogs” link in the admin bar and I then made my own function that calls that original function only if the user has a blog. Thus anyone that is just a subscriber to the site will not see the “My Blogs” link in the admin bar (to confuse them).

/* Removes the function from the buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php file in buddypress plugin*/
remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6);

/*reset the “MY Blogs” link function so that it only shows for users that have blogs and not subscribers*/
function bp_adminbar_mynew_blogs_menu() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() || !function_exists(‘bp_blogs_install’) )
return false;

if ( !$blogs = wp_cache_get( ‘bp_blogs_of_user_’ . $bp->loggedin_user->id . ‘_inc_hidden’, ‘bp’ ) ) {
$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id, true );
wp_cache_set( ‘bp_blogs_of_user_’ . $bp->loggedin_user->id . ‘_inc_hidden’, $blogs, ‘bp’ );
}

echo ‘
loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug . ‘/”>';

_e( ‘My Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ );

echo ‘‘;
echo ‘

    ‘;

    if ( is_array( $blogs ) && (int)$blogs ) {
    $counter = 0;
    foreach ( (array)$blogs as $blog ) {
    $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ‘ class=”alt”‘ : ”;
    $site_url = esc_attr( $blog->siteurl );

    echo ‘
    ‘;
    echo ‘‘ . esc_html( $blog->name ) . ‘‘;

    echo ‘
        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Dashboard’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘New Post’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Manage Posts’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Manage Comments’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘

    ‘;

    echo ‘

    ‘;
    $counter++;
    }
    }

    $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ‘ class=”alt”‘ : ”;

    if ( bp_blog_signup_enabled() ) {
    echo ‘
    ‘;
    echo ‘root_domain . ‘/’ . $bp->blogs->slug . ‘/create/”>’ . __( ‘Create a Blog!’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;
    echo ‘

    ‘;
    }

    echo ‘

‘;
echo ‘

‘;

}

/*checks to see if the logged in user has any blogs. Saves the array values to $blogs and then saves the blog count to $blogcount. The IF statement then will be true if the value is 1 or more thus showing the link in the admin panel for the “My blogs”*/
$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id );
$blogCount = ($blogs);

if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && $blogCount >= 1){
add_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_mynew_blogs_menu’, 6 );
}

If anyone has a better (cleaner) way to do this please I would love to see it. I am just in the early stage of learning php so any help would be great. Thanks

it works on my hosting server was not working on my xamp on my local machine.

I activate orginal theme from buddypress and ………..
http://awesomescreenshot.com/05b3zo315 other idea ?

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…

thanks for your help once again! by any chance, would you know how to change the styling for the profile page?

the bp theme has the data in zebra styling which i am trying to have for my current. the strange is, i did use the table css from the bp theme.

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;

I use a custome theme
Version 1.2.6
just recently..

I edit a lot file from theme but it was working, now i try to replace groups file template with originals but.. nothing..

Here my create.php

@hnla, sorry, by “BB” I mean BP. And no, I do not have a separate copy of Buddypress. All I did to test it out is deactivate the BP template pack, and activate the BP Default Theme, thinking that would for-sure fix the problem. It did not fix the problem, checking off the list that it is not the theme that is causing the problem. Another Solution I did try was deleting buddypress plugin, and completely reinstalling it. Still does not fix the problem. I have set up a new installation for the forums several times, and I am just so lost on where to go!!!

Thank you for helping out. So I guess it is just a “normal” wordpress theme.
