BuddyPress

Hello,

I have installed/activated the BP and BP template pack. I am using a theme on regular wordpress.org NOT MU. I do not see the admin bar on the top of my home page or any other. I only see the My Account drop down menu when I am logged into the dashboard.

http://www.givingscene.com

I have read SEVERAL forum posts that talk about a dashboard settings area that includes settings to enable registration etcetera. I do not have that.

Is there a helpful video tutorial from beginning to end so I can find where I made a mistake? All I did was add the 2 plugins in my dashboard and activate and go through the template steps up to Step 3. If there was something else I was supposed to do, I probably missed it.

PLEASE HELP. I am at a complete loss.

Check if your theme’s footer.php has a <?php wp_footer(); ?> somewhere just before closing body and html tags.

It does. Below is what is in the Footer php file:

<a href="http://wordpress.org/&quot; title="<?php esc_attr_e('Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'linepress'); ?>" rel="generator"><?php _e('Powered by WordPress', 'linepress'); ?></a> - Designed by <a href="http://www.gabfirethemes.com/&quot; title="Premium WordPress Themes">Gabfire Themes</a>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div> <!-- #footer-right-side -->
<div class="clear"></div>
</div><!-- /footer_data -->
</body>
</html>

This is what is in the last portion:

EDIT – corrected code above with backticks. mercime.

I tried to paste the whole last portion above but it cuts off after the Gabfire link unfortunately but yes the code is in the footer file.

I corrected code above with backticks. See text below the input area and just before the”Post Reply” buttom. Surround your code between backticks not apostrophe’s.

Move your <?php wp_footer(); ?> to just before closing </body></html>

@gregfielding did you post in the wrong thread ?

No it was my bad @hnla, in the process of editing the code that mdanista posted above because it was not showing up then wreaking havoc to the layout, I placed the wrong edit topic code and @gregfielding‘s got edited. To compound the problem, I tried to move greg’s topic and it looks like it was deleted instead. Sorry Greg!

@mercime not having a good day all in all

Think we’d better post a sticky just warning people that if their posts appear to start jumping around random threads not to panic it’s just mercime having a little ‘re-arranging of the furniture’ session

I’m going to edit post #96127 haven’t a clue what it may be about as it hasn’t been posted yet

== it’s just mercime having a little ‘re-arranging of the furniture’ session ==

@hnla not fair, LOL. The sticky should be about what a backtick is. It’s not an apostrophe and neither should they place backticks as is before and after code

@mercime Blame it on the backticks, bad workman blames…

Off to posts a forum alert “mercime is logged in , would all users kindly take caution when posting and if they can’t find their post later please search at random through the last 100 threads”
