@modemlooper Bless you and thank you. Now the sidebar is in the right place but example in activity the What’s new box expands all the way to the right under the sidebar so I guess I need to make some other change somewhere.
Love the theme! I have it activated on my blog, https://blogs.otis.edu/community.
However, I’m having trouble with the Members functions. First, when viewing a member’s page, there is only one button for join/cancel. The buttons for sending a message and @mentions do not appear.
Second, sometimes I have to reload the Members tab to get lists to display. When I click on Members-My Friends, nothing loads. The link appears to be correct (https://blogs.otis.edu/community/members/heather/friends/my-friends/) and I can copy the URL into a browser and everything loads. The list of friends does load when going via My Account-Friends. Then, to stay on the wacky side, sometimes when I click on Members, the full list appears even though the My Friends tab appears to be active.
Edited to add: I’m still running BP 1.2.5.2. Do the buttons only work for BP 1.2.6?
Try and change
id=”container” in a bp file
to
id=”primary”
You basically have to match up the container and content divs to match your theme files or BuddyPress is like a house without walls.
Thanks but no this is the same info right after you install the template pack.
I have also uploaded bp-default theme. in my wp themes directory and deleted it from buddypress theme but the problem is same I am not able to accept any friendship request please help me 
I know that this topic is old… but I just watched that video again… its a great design! Does anyone would like to make a theme for buddypress in this style out of it?
Or does anyone know how to get round corners on the images and avatars?
It’s hard for me to guess without seeing the markup. Keep in mind that the css that you’ve posted is looking for a *child* of div.activity-list with the class name “red”. Make sure that the activity item markup still has its CSS class rendered by the following code (in entry.php of your child theme):
`class=””`
or else the filter won’t do anything.
As an aside, I’m not sure what you can do with divs that you can’t do with ul/lis. With a software like BP, in my view it’s better to make changes with CSS if possible, so that your child theme doesn’t override too much of the default theme (thereby making upgrades easier for you).
Nevermind, I figured it out. After upgrading, I always replace some of my theme files… I replaced the functions.php file in /bp-themes/bp-default/ which caused the problem, so I got the “new” functions.php and it fixed it. Sorry lol
Do you have a link to the website?
What versions of BuddyPress and WordPress are installed?
What theme are you using? Have you tried the default theme?
Hey Tammie. Thanks very much for that video. I followed your tutorial and it worked perfectly. The only issue I had was the preview in the admin panel was using the old sizes but I managed to solve that with some CSS tweaks. Just need to figure out my adminbar problem now
Thanks!
I think that’s in `/members/single/member-header.php` Just be sure to use a child theme when you make the change: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
I too am getting the error but only in a few of the BuddyPress themes. I get it in the BP Nicey, the BP default, & the Fishbook theme. I would love to have it fixed especially with the Nicey theme.
Just remember that if you edit core bp files/templates, you will lose your changes (and will have to redo them) whenever you update Buddypress. If you really need a header image of a different size, it is preferable to disable custom header support in wp-config, upload your image, and hardcode the URL in a child-theme style.css.
I should also mention here that sub blogs are subdomain configuration and I’m using default theme with bp colors orange child theme. One thing I thought of is that I took out the “members” base using config file method mentioned in buddypress codex. Hosted on hostgator shared with dedicated ip. MU site is main domain on account. Hope this gives someone more relevant info to help.
Yeah, thanks a lot for your help Tammie 
Assuming you mean the custom header that you find under appearance > header then here is a blog post with a tutorial.
http://buddydress.com/2010/04/custom-header-tutorial-adding-an-image-and-changing-the-size/
Excuse just linking but it pretty much sums up easier than me saying to you what to do and hopefully will help as a reference.
If it’s not custom header just let me know.
What happens with your blog Themes? Do they do not work, or is the display messed up? BuddyPress and MultiSite should work fine and your WordPress themes on sub blogs should display fine with the addition of the Admin bar at the top.
If you want a theme that matches your main blog you can adept the default theme to become a regular WordPress Theme or look at themes that do this for you 
I can integrate your WP theme to BP. If you need help just let me know.
I’ve faced this question so many times I decided to write a wiki page about it—it’s not as detailed as I would like, but it should get you started with customizing the themes.

Hope that helps.
Thanks Michael,
the stylesheet works when I paste the URI’s above. I would like to get a better understanding of Uniform Resource Identifiers and requirements in css. Do you have any good references?
@xevo
The colors for the basic theme are intentionally bland or harsh to encourage customization, and the shadow effects can easily be removed.
And thanks! I will keep at it.
We need more BuddyPress themes, but can’t really say I like the colors and all that shadow..
Other then that, it’ll probably be a good template to work out off. Keep at it.
