Changing Single Group Page Layout

Using Buddypress 1.8 in WP 3.5.2 with Elegant Nexus Theme at http://clearculture.com

Everything looks great with our BP site at http://clearculture.com except for the single group page layout, example: http://clearculture.com/communities/art/

The single page layout’s left area is too narrow. We would like the left area to expand so that the sidebar and page layout looks like http://clearculture.com/communities/

Any suggestions on how to make this happen would be appreciated.

🙂 Eric

The codex is your friend, please check for guides there first.
This page ought to explain your templating options, you should be able to work out how to manage a modified layout from this:

After reading the Codex, you should create a template specifically for that section (copy+paste the template it’s currently using and then edit).

From what I see, it’s using this:

.home #content

In which the width is too narrow. The .home class is being appended to your <body> on that page. The other page is working fine, because it takes its CSS directly from #content.

Thank you. I appreciate the help. What’s the best way to identify the template it’s using? Just go through the hierarchy of template files that Buddypress uses for a single group? 🙂 Eric

@ericreynolds007 the single group’s home.php documents clearly which template file goes with which element of the component https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/home.php
