Hi, there is a check box in the Buddypress that lets me (as admin) send a notice to all users. But in the Corporate theme, there is nowhere for this to show up. The messages just disappear.
In the BP-Default theme, they show up in the sidebar for logged-in users.
I don't really know where to put this code. Can anyone tell me exactly what file, what directory, what part of the file? I'm willing to learn but stumbling around in the dark, currently.

The display of the sidebar shouldn't matter if you have a child theme, you should still be able to create a page template with the above name and insert the code there.

Hi there!
After a bit of testing...
/wp-content/themes/bp-corporate/lib/templates/bp-template/optionsbar.php
Creates what you see below when viewing the right sidebar.
I've tried to play with the css to get it to style a little better but I'm a little weak there.
For the time being I at least wanted to give you an answer :)
Best!

Thanks, but this doesn't show up in mine. I am using a child theme. Does that matter?

Never resolved this. I can see the 'notice to all users' in themes like "scholar" but not in BP_Corporate.
I put it where Kimberly suggested but still nothing shows up on my site.

Hey again.
I see that in Kim's Screenshot its there. But Searching the theme I don't see the function... Nor see it on my installs.
So if you want this of the front of the forums page, then you could under:
Add the following:
This code basically says, hey is the messages active in BP and is the user logged in, if so then lets show those admin messages.
This could be added to other areas as well. So you could put it in the header, the footer or the sidebar.php file.
A quick cheat and another untested option could be to use a wigdet:

Never tested it though.
Hope this helps.
