Hi Joanne,
Thank you for purchasing the plugin.
Excluding admin role should not cause that issue.

Are you using any plugin or code that hides users from lists?

Please let me know and I will be able to assist.

Thank you

Hi Julia,
I have fixed the layout.

You may use the following code instead

bp_nav_menu();

That will generate proper menu with sub menu.

For 1,3, Please use the following code

function buddydev_redirect_admin_url() {
	// part 1. redirect to user profile if accessing the home page.
	if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_front_page() ) {
		bp_core_redirect( bp_loggedin_user_domain(), 301 );
	}

	if ( bp_is_user() && ! bp_is_my_profile() && user_can( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'manage_options' ) ) {
		bp_core_redirect( site_url( '/404/' ) );
	}

}

add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_redirect_admin_url' );

Regards
Brajesh

Ahh,
Sorry about that. I see it is a php error.

It was an error on my part, there will be an extra ‘)’ in the code.

<?php if( ! current_user_can( buddyblog_get_option( 'post_cap' ) ) ) :?>
    message... here..

<?php endif;?>

Please use this instead.

What trouble do you have in setting up a new post? I don’t see any issue caused by this unless you are using some other snippet to modify the behaviour too.
