The admin bar is basically a WordPress thing. It’s getting an overhaul soon to look like the wordpress.com admin bar. You can disable admin bar and use the wordpress menus and create your own sidebar menu widget.
I suggest you thoroughly look at this service. http://www.shopify.com
When you see the front page you know in 2 seconds what the site is about “create and online store”
I’m confused with your site. Is it a blogging community / social network about WAHM sellers or is it a marketplace? I think you need to pick either. Not that you can’t have a social aspect to a marketplace but activity streams seem wrong.
BP includes everything OOTB but I think you could do away with 80% of the functionality. No activity stream or groups unless you cut them down to be support forums but I would use bbpress instead.
I’d also redo the entire profile. As is, BP profiles are what you’d expect from a social network and not an about this seller page.
@djpaul here’s what I got so far. I think a couple of these styles are redundant or could be redone with less code. I didn’t mess with the original nav css, that code might be able to be integrated into the drop menu’s css.
/* Menu
*/
ul#nav li.selected:hover > a,
ul#nav li.current_page_item:hover > a,
ul#nav li.current_menu_item:hover > a {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}
#nav ul li {
min-width: 180px;
position: relative;
}
#nav ul a {
background: #333;
padding: 10px;
width: 160px;
height: auto;
}
#nav ul li a {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0px;
}
#nav ul.sub-menu li a {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}
