The footer thing didn’t work but I did just decide to switch back to the default theme and modify it, it wasn’t much different to the jooc theme. So thanks for that idea.
Sorry about the double post its just that I was in a bit of a rush and didn’t get any response in here.
Maybe a silly idea but was thinking about putting some kind of add admin bar function into bp-custom.php, not sure how to do that, and will that override the remove admin bar functions in the theme?
