Just remove the admin bar:
`define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );` in wp-config.php
Is that what you’re trying to do?

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.
`remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );`
Thanks, but I think your last post was in answer to the last poster’s question in this thread:
http://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.
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.

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);`
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”
