    @minihux: I’m not seeing it off center but you will get it moving as that page has a scroll bar so perhaps that is what you mean? If not what css did you edit and can you show me a screenshot please along with what browser you are seeing it in.

    As for changing what magazine drop down says you can change that in header.php just look for where the menu is created and you can change that to anything. You can then also add more buttons after the bp_nav element using the format you’ll see in that file. Just let me know if you need more assistance.

    thx mate, big help.

    u can see the white blog has moved and is no longer place in the center, it should be aligned with the black transparent box on the back ground.

    Also im using ie but texted on firefox same thing, i think its due to the scroller on the left when its not there in fire fox it shifts even more then in ie. Anyway i can set it to always show the scroll bar even if not needed?

    @minihux: Hmmm to be honest scrollbars appearing should just be part of the website. Have you tried adding a postition absolute to the background wrapper that ‘could’ resolve it. If that doesn’t can you paste the relevant css to me and I can have a look at that and get hopefully a solution.

    I would like to more how to add buttons to the navigation bar and adding more topice/categories to the magazine drop down bar. Also how do I get the User Login and sign-up buttons to my main page like shown on the preview.

    @jessicarobaina: To get the login / sign up you have to have the option on your blog turned on for sign ups as that appears if you have that on and be using BuddyPress 1.2.1. Secondly to add categories it will automatically pull from your blog categories and topics or you can edit the navigation file under includes/main-navigation.php. Pages will automatically appear there along with categories however you can add things under that file. I assume by topics you mean categories though as wordpress has pages, posts, categories.

    OK great I did add my categories, but now where is it that I’m going exactly to turn on the sign up option? I did acticvate the paypal info. Thanks again Tammie! And yes I’am very much enjoying the theme! Nice work!

    I’m unable to locate where I create posts that show directly on the homepage. Also When I go to activate a BLOG theme, is there a certain theme I need to select or can I choose the magazine child theme?

    @jessicarobaina: I’ve responded in your other post – if possible lets keep to one post to cover the same subject as it makes it easier to follow. That being said you are also mentioning paypal – I’m not sure what you are referring to with regards to that at all as BuddyPress magazine theme doesn’t require paypal activation.. however you could be referring to something different perhaps? Your categories will show up once you write posts so just test write a post and you will see that. You can choose magazine to be available to your other blogs on your site as since buddypress 1.2.1 Magazine now is able to cope with single wp and non buddypress sites.
