I strongly feel using this documentation you can achieve what you want.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
And this should help you with manipulating navigation items in group , renaming them or removing them. (At midway of page)

And this for custom fields (Not sure how much this will help for groups)

bye
Had the same question. Thanks for the answer.. Wayyy too easy!!!
Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins, change to default twenty ten theme and run Settings > Permalinks and choose option other than default permalinks.
Some more info:
Here’s a pic showing the image in situ on the page and the image being created in my bogs.dir folder.
I can’t figure out why the image doesn’t display when the filepath looks OK.

Has anyone else experienced this? I have updated to latest BP etc.. put .htaccess back to standard and have tried deactivating my theme and all plugins, no dice.
Glad you got it worked out!
Although, I’m pretty sure that if you remove the admin bar via ‘remove_action’ and remove the CSS for admin bar body, it would make the wordpress admin bar compatible, from my understanding the 2 bars were not “incompatible” as much as “clashing”

Hi again! As I mentioned in my 2nd post: “Removing the bp-adminbar is easy, it’s calling the wp one afterwards that’s got me stuck.”
Removing the bp-adminbar is not the problem. The problem is in showing the WP bar after removal of the bp-adminbar. Or, I should say: the problem WAS… It turns out the call to display the WP bar is surprisingly simple: `show_admin_bar(true);` So, the following in functions.php efectively replaces the bp-adminbar with the WP version. Now I can create the switch for my theme. Thanks for your help!
`define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
show_admin_bar(true);`
Well thats just the standard action.
To replace the bp-adminbar, with the wordpress adminbar, you must remove the bp-admin bar first! 
I’m still not completely comprehending what you’re trying to achieve.
Thanks, but I think your last post was in answer to the last poster’s question in this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/show-bp-admin-bar-while-in-wp-admin-only-and-hide-it-in-the-rest-of-the-site/
`remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );` effectively removes the adminbar from the backend, but that’s not what I’m trying to achieve.
I’m trying to replace the bp-adminbar with the WordPress adminbar in a Buddypress theme.
`remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );`
@gunju2221
Thanks. The end result is precisely what I’d like to achieve. But I’d like to be able to do it in functions.php so it can be included as a theme option (ie – a switch to select either BP or WP adminbar). Removing the bp-adminbar is easy, it’s calling the wp one afterwards that’s got me stuck.
I find that very confusing also, in fact, I think it’s not really necessary.
Undo your changes that you did to follow Peatlings Template pack instructions.
The biggest thing that you need to do for custom theme is import the CSS+ functions, and make your CSS fit inside your theme, and your good to go.
There might be other theme adjustments you might need to do, but I can’t speak for your theme.
P.S @mercime, something screwed up the structure of this topic, but it’s weird, no code was posted! 
??:
Just remove the admin bar:
`define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );` in wp-config.php
Is that what you’re trying to do?
Have you read this? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
You now have six BuddyPress template folders transferred to your active WP theme folder in server which you should download to your computer to edit.
Open up the first file in activity/index.php file and make the following changes:
At the top of the file, replace:
`
`
with:
`
`
At the bottom of the activity/index.php file replace:
`
`
with
`
`
Save file and upload. Check alignment by going to http://yoursiteDomain.com/activity/. If all’s well, start making the changes on the remaining 12 files and upload to server within respective folders/subfolders.
can any one please explain this
If BuddyPress pages are not aligned correctly then you will need to modify some of the templates to match your theme’s HTML structure. The best way to do this is to FTP to your theme’s files at:
/wp-content/themes/jobroller/
Then open up the page.php file (if this does not exist use index.php). Make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the `
` tags that surround the content and sidebar.
You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file. The files that you need to edit are as follows (leave out any folders you have not copied over in step two):
/activity/index.php
/blogs/index.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/index.php
/groups/create.php
/groups/single/home.php
/groups/single/plugins.php
/members/index.php
/members/single/home.php
/members/single/plugins.php
/registration/register.php
Once you are done matching up the HTML structure of your theme in these template files, please take another look through your site. You should find that BuddyPress pages now fit inside the content structure of your theme.
word press 3.1 and the latest wordpress on defult theme and tried to deactivate all plugins but that didn’t work
You should be asking that at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting – log in with same username and password you used to get in this forum.
I suggest that when you post at WordPress forums, you should provide more specific information like Site URL or which WP theme used, etc.
Cheers.
WP/BP versions? Change theme to bp-default theme. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress.
Change theme to bp-default and see if erratic behavior disappears.
If issue is resolved using bp-default, then you should check if you have upgraded to the latest Custom Community theme version https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/custom-community.
If theme upgrade doesn’t fix it, there is a forum for that theme at http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum

Great news: BuddyBuilder v1.1 is now available. Some new features and options are just itching for you to discover them and play with them!
For details on what’s new, see the following post at BuddyLite.com:
http://buddylite.com/2011/notices/new-in-buddybuilder-v1-1/
Unfortunately, the redirect options I had promised above are proving a bit more challenging than I had anticipated, so that’s still on the drawing board for a future release. So here’s a preview of what’s new in this version:
– Add Your Affiliate ID
– Add a Custom Favicon
– New Searchbar Placement Option
– New Logged-In Only Custom Menu
– New Logged-In Only Page Template
– New Community Dropdown Option
– New Login/Signup Form Options
– Create a Splashpage for Your Homepage
– New Menu Presets
– Admin Panel Redesign with a New Layout
– A Few CSS Fixes
Hope to see you in the BuddyBuilder forums and… have fun!
Remember, BuddyBuilder is a premium theme, but you can also get your hands on a cool freebie: BuddyLite.
BuddyLite has nowhere near as many features and options as BuddyBuilder but, if you’re keen on getting your hands dirty and know your CSS, then BuddyLite is the way to go.

Add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:
`function remove_adminbar_from_mainsite() {
if(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’)
remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘remove_adminbar_from_mainsite’);`
There have been many issues of WP plugins/custom theme incompatibility with WP 3.1 due to many changes in core. Btw, what theme are you using? WP 3.0.5 upgrade to WP 3.1 has broken “some stuff” along the way. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-31-master-list?replies=11
On each plugin’s homepage in WP repo, look to the lower portion of the right sidebar which links to forum topics where people give feedback – report problems.
– Re Smooth slider – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-smooth-slider-needs-upgrading-for-wp-31?replies=2
– As for multilevel navigation plugin – unfortunately, the plugin developer doesn’t seem to provide support in WP repo or his website, and it supports WP version up to WP 3.0.5 only, while BP 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1. In other words, this is not a BuddyPress issue at all. Suggest that you look for alternative plugin
