[Resolved] Adjusting BP width – apologies for dumb question

    I realize this is such a basic and lame question.

    I installed the BuddyPress Template Pack and followed the BP Compatibility process, but:

    a) Every time I edit the PHP files as directed (e.g. activity/index.php), I don’t see any changes in the actual live pages, after after a cache clear and refresh (completely baffling to me)
    b) When looking at my theme’s Page.PHP file, I don’t see a width designation as a pixel or percent to copy over anyway?

    Everything looks great; all I’m really trying to do is make the widths match?

    Sample of my pain and misery:

    @pataphor open up your theme’s header.php with a text editor, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

    Wow thanks for this amazing help!

    I did it and I’m getting excited! (Though I didn’t see the “ tags at all for some reason.)

    Some pages still seem to have issues fitting:

    http://onlinefashionweek.net/members/pataphor/friends/

    I was thinking it might be easier to remove the sidebar, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it.

    On the other hand, this test forum I made fits great!

    So maybe if I could make them all fit, maybe with that custom CSS somehow, it would be cool.

    Although, on a separate note, I’m not sure why Forums is blank …

    Ai yi yi, my head now officially hurts. : )

    Really appreciate this insanely helpful support!

    Add `padding-left: 0;` to
    `div.item-list-tabs ul, div#object-nav.item-list-tabs ul, div#subnav.item-list-tabs ul {
    font-size: 13px;
    margin-left: 0 !important;
    }`

    As for forum issues, do create a new topic for that.
    This BP compatibility issue has been resolved.

    Will do, sir.

    What if I wanted to remove the sidebar from those pages? Would that be an option? I tried selecting template “full width” but that didn’t seem to take, for reason that should be obvious to me, but aren’t.

    If you wanted to go full width/remove the sidebar, then check out the HTML structure in your theme’s full-width template file if you have one. I can only assume that you would have to change the class=column-left in `

    ` to something else at the top, then remove “ at the bottom of the file. It just depends on your theme’s markup for full-width page.

    Hello my friend:

    Indeed, the full width template does remove the sidebar, except for some reason it doesn’t seem to “take” (i.e., the sidebar remains).

    I ended up removing the php sidebar from members/single/home.php as a test, but once the sidebar it gone it doesn’t actually change the width to be full-page. : /

    Post the code of a full-width page template in pastebin.com if your theme has one. Post the generated url here.
