@karllundgren – fyi when I click links to your site from here I am given a 403 forbidden.. however backspacing to get to your dot com – then navigating to the sub pages you post they do show.
not sure what theme you are using
/wp-content/themes/Tesseract ??
Is that a wp-repo theme? custom modded 2015?
just trying to add some info to your thing here – I have no clue how to mod the bp-psudo pages like groups.. trying to learn how, but totally clueless at this point myself.
I’m quite new to WordPress as well. The theme came from a guy by the name of Tyler Moore. He has a comprehensive video tutorial on how to use this Tesseract them and to modify it to the design I’m using, which I love. Here’s his site: https://tyler.com/2015/create-a-wordpress-website-2015/
I’m not sure what a “wp-repo theme” is and I don’t know what “custom modded 2015” means either. I’m sorry, again I’m new to WordPress and haven’t figured out the language yet.
@karllundgren – neat site and tutorial there I agree.
It seems that is a premium theme, not a free theme from the wordpress repository, and it’s certainly not the default 2014 or 2014 wordpress theme – which means you chance of getting answers here (about theme display issues) in the bp forums are pretty slim.
You should direct this question to the theme author. I would be interested in what they come up with as a solution.
I have resolved the issue!!!!!
I’m so happy right now.
Here’s the solution I came up with.
Since I couldn’t seem to override the sidebar I simply styled it out using CSS. On the style.css file I set the primary class to width: 100% and the secondary class, which is what gives the sidebar it’s space on the page, I set it to width: 0% and padding-right: 0px.
I’m not sure if it was this that fixed it or just a delay in one of the other fixes I tried, but I don’t really care, as long as it’s fixed I’m a happy camper.
Hopefully, my journey helps someone else down the road as well.
@karllundgren – glad you hacked up a solution – I wonder if the css style you edited was one that was specific to groups pages, or all bp psuedo pages, are all your pages for your entire site?
If it’s the standard class for all pages are your site then you are essentially hiding the sidebar on all pages for the entire site, which may cause a different problem for you on different pages while solving the problem on your groups page.
If it’s a class that affects just bp page or bp groups, then I may take a look at that theme and how it’s coded for ideas..
IF you are just trying to remove the sidebar for pages – it may be better to edit your page.php file and find / remove “get_sidebar” or whatever as well – it will save a little load time on your server if you remove the call for widgets and stuff that is never to be seen anyway.
Just a few ideas from a bp noob – I’m sure there is more than one way to skin a site properly.
