BP Mag classic is a premium theme for BuddyPress based sites. It is built over the solid framework of BP Mag. So, by default, it inherits all the benefits of BP Mag Framework.

Bp Mag Classic theme brings back the vertical navigation for BuddyPress components(For example profile/groups/achievements/events/Links etc)

I guess, the best way to show the features is to show some screenshot. But wait, I have yet to list the features. So, here goes features list.

Basic features:-

You get 6 layout options
- Fixed width layout
- Fluid width layout
- Content/Sidebar orientation
- Sidebar Content Orientation
- No Sidebar(single column option)
- Combine the last 3 options with the first 2 and you get at least 6 combination. Please check this page for more details on the layout.
Vertical Navigation on all the BuddyPress Components
- Vertical User Navigation
- Vertical Group Navigation
- Vertical Event Navigation(If you are using EventPress or Jet event system for BuddyPress)
- Vertical BP Links navigation

- and the list continues for all the supported components
Flexible Admin Option

- You can opt for WordPress 3.x custom menu or Build the menu from Categories/pages or use BuddyPress default navigation
- logo upload from backend

- and a few more options
All BP Mag Features
and finally some funky css3 effects which will get better with each release

Will it be possible to put widgets underneath the vertical menu?

  Hi William,
  No, the classic theme currently does not allow to put the widgets under vertical nav. I did not put that because it looked awkward on my system. We are not sure of the height of the vertical menus, so the widgets get pushed downwards and makes it look a little bad. We still have the sidebars on all the pages, so you can assign the menu there.
  If there is a few comments on needing widgets under the vertical nav, I will put that in the update. But I don't think that as a good idea.
