    @bojan85

    I have been trying to move the menu on the bp default theme to left but can’t get it to work for some reason. I have tried this two codes that i found in the forums so far on my child theme css.

    #navigation {
    text-align:left;
    }

    #navigation {
    text-align: left;
    }
    #nav {
    left: auto;
    margin: 40px 0 0 20px;
    }

    Any ideas?

    You only need to add this to your style.css file:
    `#navigation #nav {
    float: left;
    margin: 40px 0 0 20px;
    }`

    Your stylesheet looks fine. Might need to add !important
    `#navigation #nav {
    float: left;
    margin: 40px 0 0 20px !important;
    }`
    If that doesn’t work, there might be something else interfering, so need your Site urle

    well @mercime thanks for your feedback but I have tried the same thing and it’s not working but let me ask you this does the fact that I am using bp-columns child theme and that theme has a left sidebar, might be the reason that is interfering with this. by the way my site url is http://www.buddyswired.com

    and when you get there you will see that there’s nothing in left sidebar except the avatar and your name but I would like to move everything “bp-Menu” into that sidebar. Now I know there’s the plugin from modemlooper but his plugin doesn’t have a menu tree so if I use his plugin and remove completely the center column menu, then all sub-links would be gone.

    Add important! just like mercime said it over rides any inherited styles when you add !important:
    Example:
    #navigation #nav {
    float: left !important;
    margin: 40px 0 0 20px;
    }
    If this is not working then use firefox’s firebug extension to make sure the element is correctly targeted.
