Using Buddypress with the Daily Theme and am noticing alignment issues with the footer sidebar widgets.
On the forums and Q&A page they are all shifted to the left:

On the blog pages and category blog pages the footer widgets slide up into the sidebar:

http://www.bestallergysites.com/category/articles/
On page pages the footer widgets are absolutely perfect:

I noticed that on the blog/blog category pages the author name/avatar seems to push everything to the right, not sure if this is part of the problem or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ruth

I'm not sure exactly how to fix this but on all your pages in your site you have a
<div id="site-wrapper">That starts after the body class and ends just before the closing body tag. On your forum, it seems the site-wrapper div is either missing or doesn't include everything from your div id "footer" down.
So, essentially the closing /div tag for "site-wrapper" on the forum page has to be just before the closing /body tag.
I'm seeing a few syntax errors on the forum page with the Facebook Integration being called up multiple times.
Maybe there's a javascript conflict with the facebook login or something is stripping or compressing javascript or css in such a way it's breaking it.
You might try disabling the facebook login plugin and see what happens then. It is being called up multiple times though and it only needs called up once.
Hopefully that leads you in the right direction.

Thanks Justin for replying.
I disabled Ultimate Facebook and that didn't seem to do anything.
I found the site wrapper code in the page source on the forums page. Am I missing something?
I think I found that the avatars are affecting the footer widgets on the blog pages. But still not sure about the forums and Q&A pages.
Thanks again for responding.

Greetings Ruth,
Thank you for bringing these significant issues to our attention.
Did this all happen after updating to WordPress 3.4?
Or did Buddy Press update to 1.5.6 seem to play into this at all?
Please advise.
Cheers, Joe

Joe,
I'm not very good about checking things while I update so I can't say for sure.
I also can't say that it had to do with recent updates in this case. These issues may have been there prior.
For a temp fix, I just removed the footer widgets on the offending pages for now since I didn't know what else to do.
Thanks!

Greetings Ruth,
If you re-enable them and send us the URL I can see about getting the lead developer of the Daily Theme in here with his invaluable insight to see if he may have a solution.
But we would certainly need the issue activated and to be able to see it first hand.
Please advise.
Cheers, Joe

Joe,
I've re-enabled the footer sidebar widgets on the following links:
http://www.bestallergysites.com/questions/can-someone-be-allergic-to-gluten-free-products/
http://www.bestallergysites.com/forums
In both instances they are pushed to the left side of the page.
On blog pages, blog category pages - they would ride up into the sidebar.
http://www.bestallergysites.com/category/services/allergists-services/
These pages have author avatars that seem to make the sidebar area smaller. For instance, if you look at my front page sidebar and then the above link sidebar you will see that all the sidebar images are slightly cut off on the right side. I'm not sure if that is affecting the footer widgets or not.
Thanks for looking into this!

Greetings Ruth,
Thank you for the URL's and my sincere apologies for the delay here.
This one almost got away from us into the ticket system abyss.
I shall notify the lead developer right away and hopefully he has some advice/advise for us to help us resolve this issue.
Cheers, Joe

Greetings Ruth,
Thank you for asking.
It appears there are some theme issues here in which we are waiting for the lead developer to make his appearance.
Hopefully he is not too far away in making his rounds to get to this ticket.
Cheers, Joe

Hey there!
I've gone ahead and emailed the new theme developer directly. He should be along very soon
Thanks for your patience!

Hi Ruth,
Do you use a modified child theme?
I think the issue is on your sidebar, so please check the theme files that started with sidebar (includes sidebar.php, sidebar-blog.php, and so on).
In these pages:
http://www.bestallergysites.com/questions/can-someone-be-allergic-to-gluten-free-products/
http://www.bestallergysites.com/forums
I noticed that a div is missing in the sidebar. The sidebar is starting with:
In your case, the second div is missing and I only see
<div id="sidebar">The closing tag for the second div is still there, and it broke the layout. So my advice is to check your theme (or child theme), and see every sidebar file, then make sure that you see the second div above, if not please add it.
For this page:
http://www.bestallergysites.com/category/services/allergists-services/
I see another issue, in this one, I found this page have this div on sidebar
<div class="light-container">And it's not closed properly. I see that you remove the login box on sidebar, if that is the case, this might be left out and should be removed. This file should be on sidebar-bpblog.php, so please check that and if you indeed remove the login box, you should left off with:
Instead of this
Sorry if it sounds complicated.
Let me know if you have any question. If you like, you can also attach your theme/child theme and we'll correct it for you.
Thank you.

Jeffri,
Thanks for the response. I will check those files and see if those fixes help.

Hiya !
We haven't heard on this one from you for quite long. Just as a routine process and with no intentions of ignoring your issue, I am marking this one as resolved for now.
In case you have not managed to sort this out by the suggestions provided by our lead developer, please feel free to reopen and make a post and this would bring this ticket up in our ticketing system.
Cheers
