A series of small questions

[Mike]

Hi, I’m really liking this theme so far but some configuration details aren’t obvious to me.

1. Search across the top menu. In the demo (http://demo.buddyboss.com/social-learner-sensei/) the search button appears on the right of the top menu. When clicked, it opens and you write across the space where the menu was previously. But when I install the theme, my search area is a small designation area on the left of the top menu. How do I get it to appear as in the demo?

2. When you’re working through a lesson on the demo, the right sidebar is beautifully presented. (Eg http://demo.buddyboss.com/social-learner-sensei/lesson/subdividing-musical-math/). The title and progress areas are in their own neat box, and the sidebar has a series of tones of blue that looks great. I can’t see how to configure the appearance of that sidebar at all – the widgets or the colours.

(I looked at the video tutorial which mentions a “Layout” section of the Customise screen to select your colours, but I don’t actually have a “Layout” section in my Customise screen…?)

3. When I enter content into the Sensei sections, my lesson content displays without any CSS applied – no paragraph spacing in particular. How come? Do I have to add styles manually in the Custom CSS section?

Otherwise things are pretty straightforward and I got my site looking presentable fairly quickly 🙂

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I’ve nothing to do with BuddyBoss (I’m a user) but I believe you should :

1. Install https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/ (as mentioned in the tutorials) and it will work as showned
2. and .3 : Make sure you’ve installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/sensei-buddypress/ (as mentioned in the tutorials)

In addition for 2 : Please install (WOO Plugins) :
http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei-course-participants/ (free)
and http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei-course-progress/ (free)

To keep those plugins updated :
Woo Helper : http://www.woothemes.com/2013/11/the-woothemes-helper-is-here/

Hope it helps….

Hi Eric,

I appreciate your reply.

Regarding Buddypress global search – this is installed but doesn’t appear like it does in the demo. Are there configuration options I’m missing maybe? The only settings I can see don’t appear to control the place it’s displayed and how it behaves – only what it searches.

Sensei-Buddypress is installed too. To clarify, I *do* have a course progress widget displaying, it just doesn’t display like the one in the demo.

And the lesson content CSS is worse than expected.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi, just to wrap this up – I thought I had installed correctly, but it turned out I hadn’t. Once we activated the Social Learner child theme, everything started working as expected.

Case closed 🙂

Cheers,
