@hnla, Sounds like I am ticking you off, and you are trying your best to keep your cool.

The only reason I have been posting stuff to help people is because I dealt with a ton of these problems trying to get buddypress into my custom theme, only from trial and error.

You hint in every single topic I post that you want me to leave your forum, so I guess Merry Christmas.

What code would you like to see, from which files? Ill paste it here when I know which ones.

Ok, I have attached some pictures of my problem. As the website isn’t running yet.

Picture 1: http://d.imagehost.org/view/0295/pic1
Picture 2: http://b.imagehost.org/view/0790/pic2

As you can see in picture 1 the sidebar doesn’t show and the text bar overlaps with it.

And in picture 2 , if I scroll down the page the sidebar is actually under the profile.

Would you be able to help or do you need abit more info?

@gunju2221 I put the css in my style.css of my current theme. I’ve also tried putting it in the bp.css for the template pack.

Am I supposed to be putting it somewhere else?

Thank you both so much for helping me. @gunju2221 I’ve tried your css and thats not fixing the issue either. I’m really at a loss. Maybe its something deeper to do with my theme?

@mercime my site url is w w w.endofregulation.com/community
I left the url in the other thread as well so i apologize about having two threads.

Thanks again.
eor

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.
