Hi. I'd like to permanently make visible the contents that are displayed when you expand +community.
Is there an easy way to do this? If not, I could change the coding.
Also, I saw on another thread that in order to display navigation for any pages, you must create a new Menu under Appearance > Menus.
What do we call this menu, and will the Studio theme display it automatically, or is there a setting or code we need to change once the menu has been created?

As for the menu it will auto allocate on the front if you assign it under the left side of the menu interaction screen. Let me know if you get any issues with that though.

As seen in the attached images if you allocate the menus they do work. Please try removing all plugins, using the latest version of the theme and following the format shown in my screenshots.
Ok. But given BuddyPress was causing the issue (proven, because disabling Buddypress fixed the issue), I was asking if Buddypress needed to be configured in a special way to work with Studio.
I ask this because by default BuddyPress was preventing the menu from displaying.

What do you mean 'prevented from showing' I think we missed a step here. You were asking how to unhide the sliding panel and add in a menu. BuddyPress won't intefer with menus but a plugin you are using may can you try by removing all plugins add in one by one once don't have the issue with plain theme.
Yes, with regard to the missing menu, you suggested removing plugins, and I replied that following your advice had fixed the problem. I renamed plugins to plugins2, and then I moved the plugins 1 by 1 from plugins2 back into plugins to determine which one was causing the menu not to show.
Moving Buddypress from plugins2 back into the plugins folder caused the menu to disappear, which is what I stated above, and hence in a later post I wrote Buddypress was preventing the menu from showing.
So, the question in your last post is already answered, but the question remains: if adding Buddypress back in to the plugins folder is the cause of the menu not showing, does some configuration need to occur for this problem not to occur?

Actually no need for !importants which should be avoided anyway.
In your child CSS do this:
Should work for you if not just let me know.

Hi Folks.
The first CSS worked. The 2nd only worked if the first CSS was included. On it's own it did not work.

My menu is called Primary Menu.
On the left side of Appearance > Menus, it is assigned to Primary Navigation.
However, the menu is not displaying on the front page.

Disabling plugins fixed it.
Buddypress was the problem. It was installed before the Studio theme was installed.
Does Buddypress not need to be installed? Does it need to be configured to work with Studio?
Cheers.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you want BuddyPress to work it needs to be installed.

Fixed, although I'll need to move the menu out of the way of the unhidden community navigation panel.
