Hello Everyone,

I have been working on a problem for a few days now and I am now requesting your help. I have read numerous posts and in concept I understand it but in execution I am having problems.

PROBLEM:
I have created and added a custom home page design but I want to add the login and registration to the home page. Here is my inspiration site http://www.virtuglobalinc.com/register/

As per Jeff Sayre post, here are the details of what I am running. I am attempting to give you complete information so I can save your time and mine. Please bear with me.

WP, BP, Theme Details
I am running a clean install of wordpress 3.2.1 and buddypress 1.2.9 in my home directory. This site is running on a litespeed server in a cloud environment, VPS.net. I am creating a child theme from the default bp theme. Currently in my child theme I have the following files…

* Footer (footer.php)
* Header (header.php)
* Home Page Page Template (idchome.php)
* Single Post (single.php)
* RTL Stylesheet (rtl.css)
* Stylesheet (style.css)
* styleHm.css (styleHm.css)

Everything is a copy of the bp theme files except the idchome.php and the styleHm.css. Below I am posting the code for each of those files.

I haven’t created any custom functions in the bp-custom.php I have 37 plugins installed and activated but I am not sure that this is important to the question that I am asking.

Help Please, I am more of a html / css guy. The php and java stuff I am a newbie. Thanks
