Adding Custom Style to A Group

1. Note: Group Frontpage styles only affect the group frontpage styles and not every page of the group.
2. Make a copy of the group frontpage default CSS document through FTP to your computer. ( Default CSS file name is: bp-group-frontpage-css.css ). The directory where this is stored is /wp-content/plugins/bp-group-frontpage/css.
3. Rename this copy and based on the name of the group it is intended for. If your group name is My Group, then your file will be bp-group-f-my-group-css.css. Notice that there is the addition of minus signs ( - ) between each word of your group name and the entire file name is lower case. And the word frontpage is truncated two just the letter f.
4. Edit the file for your group and save.
5. FTP your new file into the same directory as the default file.
