Hello everyone,

I love buddy press, but hate the buddypress bar (my account, notification, visit). is there a way i can just added all the options to my site like in the navigation bar?

also, in groups i dont see where you can create one it just says groups (my groups and invites).

sorry if this all sounds dumb, just really new and eager to learn.

thank you in advance for all your help

To create a new group just visit the groups page (e.g. mywebsite.com/groups) and then click the “Create a Group” button at the top.

“…is there a way i can just added all the options to my site like in the navigation bar?”

Have you tried Add-All-Nav-Links-to-BP-Adminbar? You can add your main menu items to the navbar, then reposition it anywhere you like to replace the main nav.

@Tekuan_Coleman

Ah, I should update that info. It tests and works just fine in BP1.2.6.
You can see it on a live site here (WP3.0.1 + BP1.2.6): http://buddylite.com/

Did you activate your account?

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

ok now im lost this is completely the opposite of what i asked for….lol

i wanted to move the bp admin bar to my sites nav bar. i just have an extra menu with community on the BP admin bar

[@pcwriter Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

@Tekuan_Coleman

Gotcha! Here’s how…
1- Enable “Hide Main Theme Nav”, “Add WordPress pages/menus”, “Add Buddypress components” and “Scroll with pages”.
2 – Go to “Sizes & Position” and adjust the “Overall navbar width” to the width of your template.
3 – Play around with “Vertical offset” and “Horizontal offset” until you get it positioned about where you want it.
4 – Save settings.
5 – Now go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and select the WP3 custom menu you want at “BP-WP-Navbar Menu 1”
6 – Click “Save” at “Theme locations” and “Save menu”
7 – Check your site and refresh a page.
8 – Repeat, lather & rinse until you get it “just right”.
9 – Have fun!

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

ok, with the new installation i have a new community menu in the admin bar. in this menu there is only three subs activity, members and groups. now in the new “community” menu i see the “create” a group option in groups in my original “my account” i dont have the option to create a group but more subs (profile, settings, logout, albums and all there child pages. i hope you understand all that….

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

If i had any hair right now i swear id pull it all out…..can just delete everything and start from scratch? well everything but wordpress. my theme (suffusion) and all plugins? it says i need to create a child theme 1st….gotta figure out that 1 as well….im really sorry man. and you have been more then helpful. im just really new and just when i thought i knew something BANG!!! im smacked with the idiot feeling

[@pcwriter Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

Ah yes, child themes are one of the MOST important things to learn when it comes to BP.
Here’s a link to the codex tutorial:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Could you post a link to your site? I could register there and see if I can help out.

Saving Our Boys Society

WARNING!!! lol, i have put everything back to default and it looks a little crazy so this is why im trying to hurry and fix it all

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

i see a “buddymatic” theme says it comes with 2 ready child themes……..or should i stick to suffusion?

[@pcwriter Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

I just created an account on your site and was able to create a group just the way it’s supposed to be done (the “Create a group” button is in the Groups directory).
Forums aren’t enabled yet on your site, are they? You can do that in your WP backend under “Buddypress” > “Forums Setup”.

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

you used the “community” section right….i see the “community” and the “my account”. both listing the same things only the new “community” bulilt is the only 1 i can create a group in. but i guess that wint matter after i fix all this up

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]

yeah i tried to fix the forum thing then it gave me issues which i posted in another support topic.

it tells me files not found

then i tried to go with the other option and followed the instructions (save files to bb-config.php) still nothing

[@pcwriter Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

In “Community”, I only see Activity, Members and Groups. In “My Account”, I see Activity, Profile, Messages, Friends, Groups, Albums, Settings, Logout (with appropriate subnavs). The Create a Group button is only seen in the Group directory (where it should be), but you can grab the code from groups/index.php and add it to other templates too if you prefer.

[@tekuan-coleman Member 14 years, 1 month ago]
