The file inside the container at `buddyx-pro` is different from the one I edited on the host. The container runs `buddyx-pro`, so I need to edit that file directly. Let me update it:

Here's a summary of what was done:
---
## Summary
### What I did
Updated the left sidebar of the BuddyPress community 3-column template at:
`/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/buddyx-pro/page-templates/community-3col.php`
### Before
The left sidebar listed group types as **clickable links** only — clicking a type would filter the groups directory by that type.
### After
Each group type now appears as a **heading/category** with its member groups (studios) listed underneath as individual links:
- **"Studios"** main title in accent orange #d4825f
- Each **group type heading** (e.g., "Workshop", "Gallery") in accent orange #d4825f with a subtle orange underline/border
- Each **studio/group name** indented with a small **teal dot** (#288a7a) bullet
- Studio links styled in **Profe teal** (#7c8aff), hover to teal #288a7a with underline
- Dark card container: background #1a1d2e, border #262a3e, radius 8px
### Code approach
- `bp_groups_get_group_types()` — fetches all registered BP group types
- `groups_get_groups()` with `'group_type' => $slug` — fetches groups belonging to each type
- `bp_get_group_permalink()` — generates the correct permalink for each group
- Falls back to a "Visit the groups directory" link if no group types exist
- All inline styles (matching the existing pattern in the template)
### Verification
- **PHP syntax**: `No syntax errors detected` (verified via `docker exec testing-app-1 php -l`)
- File copied into container via `docker cp`, replacing the old version
### Files modified
- `/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/buddyx-pro/page-templates/community-3col.php` (inside Docker container)
- `/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/profe-theme/page-templates/community-3col.php` (on host, separate copy)
