BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to get the groups widget to display on my home page ( of my child theme ), not in a widget area. Basically I just want to show the groups on my home page for now, then I’ll add filters and stuff. Iv’e tried playing around with the code from bp-groups-widget but it seems what ever I do I get errors or nothing displays. I think Im really missing something here with how the widgets work, just need some direction.

Regards
