Some issues integrating BuddyPress with Custom Theme

    I have a couple of issues.

    1. we cannot get the sidebar appearing at the side of page content, in buddypress pages. It appears below the content. Have tried the fixes on here, to no avail.
    Suggestions Please.
    2. when we click on activity of any sort from the buddypress menu, it pulls the last wordpress post as the page title.
    So example: say I am looking at: http://sitehelp.com.au/members/blue/activity/
    Then the title tag gets used from last post we made.
    Any suggestions.
    Title tag for above link appears as so: ShineTime: jQuery & CSS3 Gallery With Animated Shine Effects

    The main issue is getting the sidebar sorted.
    Also need to fix CSS because form fields are virtually invisible and the text is kinda skew wiff.

    Regards Blue. http://siteHELP.com.au/

    Oh and also, we have had to disable WP-SEO as we were getting db errors.

    Looks like you have two separate divs with id of “container.” You only want to use an id once per page….use classes for multiple similar instances within a given page. I’m not sure if that’s THE problem, but I doubt it’s helping your code.

    Ok on this link: http://sitehelp.com.au/members/

    I have added to my core css:

    div#bpcontainer {
    position: relative;
    width: 698px;
    -moz-border-radius: 6px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    border-right: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
    background: #fff;
    overflow: hidden;
    }
    body.activity-permalink div#bpcontainer {
    background: none;
    border: none;
    }

    And in the index.php of the link above, I have changed:

    to

    But the sidebar still isnt sitting next to content.
    I added:

    before

    in the bottom of that index.php file.

    Its nearly there, but any help appreciated. Then I can set about globally changing stuff

    Uhoh, lost some code in your last reply here. Members has also gone away. DId you disable BP in frustration, or is that a result of whatever changes to index.php you mention?

    (Sorry, the problem with forums, we’re in and out of windows and sometimes slow to reply)

    Yeah we have disabled, and deleted it.
    It presents itself more for an “as is” installation.

    I really havent got the time to re code an entire theme, due to cross polination of class and id tags, and incompatible css structure.

    Many thanks tho for your replies. :)

    It is rather easier to work with if you’re starting a site than if you’re modifying an existing one, I’d imagine. I’m sure you’ll find other ways to engage people. (I did briefly look at Mingle, but can’t say as I feel strongly one way or another about it.)
