<i> How can I make it so it displays the users by nicknames, not by their names?</i>
That is what Buddypress does currently. It displays their “RealName” rather than their Username across the site.
<i> how can I add Activity and Members links in the adminbar?</i>
Add this to your bp-custom.php:
function pages(){
?>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/activity">Activity</a>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/groups/">Groups</a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );
“That is what Buddypress does currently. It displays their “RealName” rather than their Username across the site.”
But I want it to display their usernames instead of their RealNames. And the code is giving me an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 9
Note that I just created the bp-custom.php file. Oh, and, how can I add a search bar in the adminbar? but not the BP searchbar, i want to add the wordpress default searchbar. Thanks!

Make sure it has been wrapped around “ at the beginning and the end.
But I want it to display their usernames instead of their RealNames.
Use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
thanks a loooot! anything on how to add the searchbar in the adminbar?
Try something like this in your bp-custom:
function new_search_action() {
global $bp;
return apply_filters( 'new_search_action', $bp->root_domain . '/search' );
}
function custom_adminbar_search() {
$mobSearch = '
<li class="align-right"><form action="' . new_search_action() . '" method="post" id="search-form">
' . bp_search_form_type_select() . '
' . wp_nonce_field( 'bp_search_form' ) . '
</form></li>
';
echo apply_filters( 'bp_search_form', $mobSearch );
}
add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_adminbar_search', 100);
Tell me how that works.
it works but i said i wanted the default wp search, not the bp search (like searching for members), because i want it to be able to search the whole site, not just members. by the way, the “submit” button is blank, and it’s a bit bigger than the adminbar.
Btw, how can i make it so those links i added on the adminbar, only show to logged in people? because the current ones are showing to logged out people too..
To hide something from non-logged-in users, surround it in is_user_logged_in() checks, like so
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
\ stuff that only logged in users should see
}
It’s not working 
I’m using this code for the links in the adminbar:
function pages(){
?>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="http://www.authentic-pictures.com/activity/">Activity</a>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="http://www.authentic-pictures.com/members/">Members</a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );
?>
And when I tried to add those like this:
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
function pages(){
?>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="http://www.authentic-pictures.com/activity/">Activity</a>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="http://www.authentic-pictures.com/members/">Members</a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );
}
?>
It didn’t work..
I also tried like this:
function pages(){
?>
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/activity">Activity</a>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/groups/">Groups</a>
}
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );
Still didn’t work.. any ideas?
Does it not appear?
You need to insert it in your bp-custom.php
Virtuali, if you’re asking about the search, I don’t need it anymore. But, can you please help me with making the activity and members links in the adminbar only show to logged in users?
Should be
function pages(){
?>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/activity">Activity</a>
<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/groups/">Groups</a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );
