Is it possible to move the widget area in profile below the profile heading?

[Craig]

Once I add a widget to the member -> single profile, it cuts off the profile cover photo.

is there a way to make the widgets area start below the profile cover photo?

I have attached 3 images.

1 image is current theme layout without widget/sidebar
1 image is current theme layout WITH widget/sidebar
1 image is what I would like to accomplish (move the widget sidebar below the cover photo)

@craigseidl for plugin compatibility and WordPress standards we had to keep the banner image in it’s current location. You may try to move it but it would require taking it out of the primary div and probably placing it above the content. How WordPress works is a content div with the primary and widget div directly under it. This makes 2 separate areas which will shorten the primary div when the widgets are used on this page.

yeah, I tried all these different ways to do it with CSS but it’s not going to happen. I’m not advanced enough to edit the wordpress layout in php. I just thought I’d throw it on your forums to see if you knew any easier solutions. Thank you for your time though.

Sorry about that. Typically anything is possible with coding, but to preserve standards it’s not possible to have all options when creating a WordPress theme.
