Are the “Featured” entries on the directory pages, for blogs, members and groups, widgets or hard-coded?
Just asking because if they’re widgets, they aren’t showing up in my widget controls, which means I need to hunt down their registration in the functions file and make sure it’s in the right place.
If I understand your question correctly, they are hardcoded. Look in the index.php files in each of the subfolders in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/directories/
