Thank you @r-a-y Bravo!
@naijaping Which of the two codes above didn’t work for you? Both codes prevent bp-default’s stylesheet from being enqueued in wp_head. I may not have explained it more thoroughly above.
The first code – write all your custom styles in style.css of child theme or @import style from e.g. a css folder within your child theme’s folder and get the layout you want without interference.
The second code – child theme’s style.css file only has the header portion i.e. theme name, author, etc. but no styles or @import since stylesheet is enqueued in child theme’s functions.php file. I edited second code above to register the stylesheet before enqueueing.

Are you trying to change the height of the header image background or the header in general?
If you are trying the change the height of the header only, first create a child theme.
Then in your child theme’s style.css, add the following:
`#header {height:300px;}`

@mercime @blogurp @granville Before I go any further please allow me to say thank you for all of your help. I am post the solution to my problem in hopes that it will help someone else.
The problem was with the .htaccess, not its configs but it was the permissions. I had a security plugin installed that told me that this file needed to be locked down and it gave me two settings. I choose the stricter setting and did not realize I locked my whole site. The hosting company saw it in the error file 
(AGH, I did not think about checking these but I should have.)
Thanks Again

I have recently updated the child theme codex article for BP 1.5:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Give it a read through and see if that helps.

Deactivate BuddyPress. Make sure you can create a subsite with your WP install first. If you cannot, resolve multisite installation first before activating BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

If you are using BuddyPress 1.2.x and are dependent on a lot of BP plugins, you might want to wait until your BP plugins are updated.
If you want to test BuddyPress 1.5, you should do all your upgrading and testing on a development environment. After you have upgraded and you’ve made sure that your site functions bug-free and the way you want it, you can do the upgrade on your live site.

It’s just a CSS bug on the bp.org homepage for IE8 users. Don’t worry! Nothing important is missing!

What theme are you using? If child theme of bp-default, copy over footer.php of bp-default theme into your child theme folder. Open it up and delete
`
“<?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘http://wordpress.org’, ‘http://buddypress.org’ ) ?>“

Are you using the bp-default theme?
If not you need to copy /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/ to your WP theme.
Preferably, you are already using a child theme.
