This is nice, looks a lot like the new startup 500px.

But how did you do it on wordpress?? I need to build something similar but I’m a noob, I don’t know where to start.
I’m going to have users upload photos to certain categories and I will need to have the photos show on the landing page in a grid format like yours!

Currently, my landing page is set to “home” and I can’t figure a way to modify it.

If you want to see how an extra column is added then look at bp-columns, which is a child of bp-default with just an added column…

To find out what needs to be changed to just move the menu bar, one can experiment with the firefox addon from http://getfirebug.com/ ( for developer tools in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8 & 9 – press F12. )

From that can be seen that all the following should individually move the menu bar out of the way….
`
#header {
padding-top: 80px;
}

#header #search-bar {
margin-top: 60px;
}

#header #search-bar .padder {
padding-top: 65px;
}

#navigation {
padding-top: 55px;
}
`
When placed (only 1) in the child theme’s style.css

@sbrajesh Blog Categories for Groups is what’s out there that’s specific for associating a group with a category for singleWP. There’s https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ where you have to go multisite and set/limit the category for that subsite.

You should read these.

@derek-melo While, their is no front end interface for it (though, i’m sure afew plugins will popup) It’s VERY easy to modify the admin bar/toolbar in the 1.6 trunk of buddypress.

@jack-v I agree, privacy is a required component that needs to come out sooner than later. Afew people ( @cnorris23) have been working on privacy – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

Or enable this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-admin-bar/

Have you checked out S2Member plugin? It’s compatible with BuddyPress.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

should be!

For reference, my bp-default child theme header.php would look the same as the one here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php?rev=5003

All it needs at this stage is a new folder under /wp-content/themes/ with a style.css simple text file in it. Then replace #666 (see above) with #778899 ….

You should be able to preview any changes in the themes section, before activating…

If the file being looked for isn’t in your child theme, wordpress will look for it in the parent theme so you don’t need to worry about anything else for this task.

To modify that index.html page via your wordpress admin, you will need to move wordpress into your root https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

and delete index.html.

Or; you can use wordpress on that html page – see this – https://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website

== I am currently using group forums on my buddypress setup and I want to remove forums from it.. ==

Backup then delete bb-config.php file at root where you installed WordPress.

== to change the main landing page, for example, or to change other pages = I can’t find anything in the site that allows me to change these pages=

You change/add Pages just the same way as you usually would for a regular WordPress page, from the wp-admin backend.

contact me asap

That isn’t how this works; no one is going to email you to help you. I suggest you check the codex or these forums for people having a similar issue.

As a general hint, create a WordPress page and then set it in your BuddyPress settings.

Saw this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1699
You’re seeing that because WP_DEBUG is set to true in your wp-config.php, make it false

bbPress bugs are best reported on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

== I remember when installing forums in BuddyPress was a breeze… ==
The internal bbPress installation, Forums for Groups, is still a breeze. Group Forums are fully integrated with BP 1.5.2. While Sitewide Forums, bbPress 2.0.2, is compatible with BP 1.5.2, full integration will come in BP 1.6 possibly with script to migrate Group Forums to the Sitewide Foruns.

As to the errors you are encountering, are these on a relatively new installation? If you change to bp-default theme and deactivate all plugins except BP and bbPress, are the errors still showing up? If so, you might want to report it in Trac. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
