Restore your theme from your backups.
That solution isn’t really possible if you’ve made changes to the them since installing buddypress. At least I can’t imagine how. I have a similar situation – trying to get rid of buddy press but terrified that pulling it out is going to screw the rest of the site… Is there a more foolproof way to do this?
So basically I have to redo all the changes I made to the theme after installing buddypress? That sucks. I tried restoring some of the files, but the buddypress installation screwed it up so that when I edit certain template files, like index.php, the changes do not take effect at all. It simply ignores it. I can’t figure out why.
same here i have groups and members links that i would like gone, how do i do this??
it sounds like you would need to undo any theme modifications you made to make your theme compatible with BP.
