Creating a child theme really isn’t that hard, and you aren’t relying on a 3rd party to maintain a plugin.
First I created a new folder in the usual WP themes location, and named it child theme.
Then I grabbed the header and footer pages from the buddypress/themes folder, and edited them for my page, saving in the new Child theme folder.
Then,I used a basic generic WP framework to get started, and added some buddypress and wordpress php as needed – just cutting and pasting the loop, and BP stuff as needed.
Once the first page was made, I just would add or subtract the items needed for individual pages, blog pages, user pages, etc.
If you know just a little php, html, and CSS it’s not hard.
Make a copy of your BP theme. Delete all folders you see here https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.7/bp-themes/bp-default except _inc/ folder if you have your CSS file and images parked there. Then delete all BP references/code/templatetags you see in the remaining files – header.php, funcions.php etc.And, don’t forget to delete bp-custom.php from plugins folder if you have one.
if you think you’ve found a bug in BuddyPress 1.2.7, and you’ve disabled all others plugins in an attempt to isolate the problem to BuddyPress (and tested on the BP-Default theme if possible), please make a report on http://trac.buddypress.org. You can use the same username and password that you do for this site.
If you can include clear, step-by-step instructions, it will make it more likely for a developer to confirm, test and fix the issue
I don’t have a copy sorry and notice the site is down from the author 
http://bp-theme-converts.com/
Hopefully someone else will have a copy or the author’s site will be back up soon.
@mercime
Thanks !
Any body have a copy of converted p2 theme for Buddypress ?
Thanks!
Add me to that question also. I have been playing around with this for some time trying to figure out how I can integrate the two separate profile systems. Is there a reason for the redundancy? I am particularly worried that people will change their “Website” field in the WordPress profile, messing up the link which Buddypress uses. I don’t want to disable the user profile on WordPress, but it is definitely a problem.

Anyone figure this out yet? Having the same problem here. I have several sites running bp. I recently installed it on a new site, hosted by hostgator, and the same thing is happening. My other sites with buddypress are fine. All the links related to buddypress have the double slash just like in his example and they all redirect to the homepage. Any else see this or have a fix? I’ve tried several different themes and even deleted bp and reinstalled it, same issue.
It is a CSS issue Adam. I noticed that as well and had to adjust the adminbar styles to fix the 1px gap between the main list item and its child dropdown list. I don’t remember exactly what I tweaked but I think it was the padding of the top level links so that they filled the entire height of the adminbar. They were 1px too short and that’s what cause the sub-menus to disappear when hovering down to the child list.

bbPress is going to be turned into a WP plugin which would mesh well hopefully with BuddyPress as lead dev for bbPress is also one of leads for BuddyPress.

Some have used SimplePress Forums, Mingle Forums, or BP Global Forums ($30) for what you want.
BP Gallery plugin ($30) has galleries for individual users and groups.<./
First thing I’d do, run Settings > Permalinks again
Anyone can sell BuddyPress or WordPress themes. License must be GPL.
@djpaul
do we need special license to sell buddypress themes or can everyone sell theme s?
ok permalinks fixed it back but yeah its looks so stupid when i enable buddy press and theme
when i changed the pages broke but they are still in word press but not working anymore
no the pages do work with non buddy press
I checked and no links work so I’m assuming you haven’t made the pages yet? I don’t see anything “broken” .. I do see that your two top widgets in the sidebar are not wide enough for the content. That means adjusting the width of your sidebar or adjust the width of what’s inside.
What theme are you using? Sometimes there are wiggly issues that just need to be massaged.
