1. I had put this in another post but it's still unresolved. What file would I edit so that I can have the service section listed directly above the "Checkout our Growing Community Section"?

2. In looking at my stats, there is a 404 error for the file "/wp-content/themes/blogs-mu/_inc/css/custom.css". Why is that?

3. If I create a child page to one of those listed on the nav bar, that parent page nav does not show a drop down for it, nor is it listed at all on the navbar

Thank you for your help with these.

@tfb: Hi I'm really sorry your post wasn't being ignored but it's always best to start a new thread rather than have it on an old one. Please accept my apologies in the delay in the response to your question. I'm sorry it wasn't responded to.

I have asked this theme's developer to have a lookie about this one as I took a look and what you want is a little complex in parts and I want to be sure we give you the right steps and make sure it's ok / doesn't impact in you doing it.

I can help with your other points though.

That css file custom.css is one you can create yourself if you want to add custom css - you can either do that or use the child theme. We would suggest ideally you use the child theme and if you infact want you can in style.css remove that line calling that file if you do want.

I'm a little confused about the last point so my apologies on this one. I think you are talking about sub pages yes and the fact they do not show in the navigation bar? If that is the case the navigation does not actually use sub navigation it only uses one level therefore currently this is why.

1. open random-groups.php, you should be able to edit the text there.

2. thats's the common log error for missing custom.css...the current default are custom-sample.css..just rename it to custom.css if you don't want the error log...

3. yeap..its normal for child sub page did not appeared in navigation...due to long list of bp nav like groups, members and blogs..we decided to hide the child sub page...

Thanks Richie,

On question one my question was regarding layout:

What file would I edit so that I can have the service section listed directly above the "Checkout our Growing Community Section"?

I am a member of your site and pay a monthly membership
fee and have downloaded the default Buddy press plugin to my wp site.
I am planning on using the MU Blog Theme and
I would like to know if I can change the group pages to read pro pages
much like Face Book does with fan pages. My site is http://www.useapro.net
and I'm building a social network of service professionals for home
and life. If not, can you add another page like fan pages in face
book? This way the professionals can have their pages public if they
want to.

Hi there and welcome to BuddyDress wtwine. Ideally we'd prefer you to start a new thread for a new issue but lets see what we can do to assist you here.

You can change the name in navigation however the actual functionality you are looking for is not built into BuddyPress. That is not saying you may not be able to do it though. There are going to be 3 routes open to you:

1. Does there exist a plugin to do this: check out the extend section at buddypress.org
2. Can you find a snippet or information on who to do this as it's not theme related over at buddypress.org or another buddypress resource - unless you know coding and have time this may not be a good option
3. Is it worthwhile looking at a job board to get this done - we can recommend the job board at http://premium.wpmudev.org/ but there are many others out there which may get things done for you.
