You don't navigate to start.php in your browser. You have to open that file with an editor and read the information inside. Matt's plugin is a learning tool that demonstrates how to programatically change the CSS "the Elgg way."

I don't know about the search bar, but here's some info on how to embed the tobpar in WP:

Instead of calling the topbar, you could try calling the search bar

echo elgg_view('page_elements/search');

goto your wp install's theme folder (assuming that you are
using a theme in your wp that defines the wp search area).
e.g.
    /wordpress/wp-content/themes/mywptheme/searchform.php
 
then, find this code :-
    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<!--?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?-->">
    ...
    form>
after that add code something like this :-
    include    "/engine/start.php"
 
then code to include this for the elgg search box -->
    "/mod/search/views/default/search/search_box.php"
 
you will then need to handle all the differences in the iu 
because of the different theming style..

Hi!

- Remove Elgg branding from top bar and 'powered by elgg'

http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/837377/

 

- Translate 'settings' button in topbar

- Translate sidebar items on settings page.

 

Install a language package from here:

http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/search?f%5Bc%5D%5B%5D=languages&sb=Search

 

- Change the color of the 'Login' button

Extend the css of the buttons.php

- Set default visibility (for discussions and groups) to 'Logged in users only'

You could either restrict pages to logged in users only or add the gatekeeper() function to those pages (by extending them of course)

- Translate Report this button

Well, is that on the language thing?
