    With the above plugins and themes, I have spent a significant amount of time this weekend configuring settings, widgets, fixing some styling issues, layout issues and pinpointing and fixing some lingering bugs.

    I am pleased to report, that with your recent updates and my efforts in troubleshooting everything, it seems most of the styling and layout is working as expected. However, I am quite frustrated I had to spend so much time and energy in troubleshooting and fixing bugs on something I have just recently paid for, and I haven’t even tested every use case yet.

    Below are some of the fixes I made:

    • Increased the padding for both the logo background and the search-icon background, so they were the same height as the titlebar.

    • Once again, I had to go into boss-sensei -> includes -> main-class.php and get rid of the “public function boss_edu_overide_sensei_courses_template()” in order for my BuddyPress related pages and content to show up.

    • I swear, it’s almost like all the issues with using groups with courses has been neglected because that has been the area I have had to spend the most time on since my purchase.

    If I would go into a course, that is associated with a group, then click on the “Course Discussion” button and click on the “Course” admin tab, I would see the course modules, but the “course-excerpt”, “listControl” for “Expand All | Collapse All” and the “fa-chevron-up” icon markup were missing. Added was a blank white bar with the header of “Lessons” below the course modules. So, there was no way to see the lessons in the course modules and the styling was not correct.

    Apparently, all the views/pages, that the group admin tabs go to are using the same template, which is the “buddypress-group-single.php”, found at boss-sensei -> templates -> sensei-buddypress -> buddypress-group-single.php.

    • I basically had to completely rebuild this template and set up some conditional statements for the groups course “experiences” view, so the course modules were functional again.

    • As for the blank white bar with the header of “Lessons” at the bottom, I had to make some changes and additions to the “group-extension.php” file found at boss-sensei -> includes -> group-extension.php.

    • I corrected the conditional statement on line 88, so it would exit from printing any modules if there isn’t any lessons.

    • I added a conditional statement between line 161 and 163, so it would only print out the “Other Lessons” header bar if there were lessons not in the course modules.

    • I ended up swapping out some of the markup structure with that from the “lessons.php” template found at boss-sensei -> templates -> sensei -> single-course -> lessons.php, so it was consistent with the lesson markup found on the single course pages.

    I hope this is of some assistance to others.
