Hi. Here’s the site I’m having issues with: http://ouroptimalhealth.org/oohcms/ I’ve installed WP3.0 and BP using a custom theme that used to work under WP2 with BP1.1. Anyhow, I’ve got 2 problems that I think are related. First is that I turned off the BP admin bar in the old version of the site. That was all fine and good but now I’d like to have the BP admin bar and even with a fresh install of WP3.0 and the latest BP I can see it with the default BP theme but not with my custom theme. How do I get it back?

Second is that I don’t have any way for users to register into buddypress. Specifically if you click the “community” link it takes you to the members page but I don’t have any sort of link there that allows for registration or log-in to buddypress. Looking at the default theme that option sits in the sidebar and/or you get a nice registration screen in the body there. However if I manually type in the url http://ouroptimalhealth.org/oohcms/register/ it just takes me back to the “About” page for some reason. I’ve gone into the dashboard and under Settings/General I’ve ticked the box for Anyone Can Register but that doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Can anyone help me?

re: admin bar – Hard to tell since we don’t have your custom theme to look at. Check your stylesheet for a line like this:
#wp-admin-bar {display:none;}

and remove it. If you don’t see such a line, then you have some custom code in your child theme’s functions.php.

Hi

To enable user registration a had to set the ‘Membership Anyone can register’ checkbox in General Settings

Thanks @Eric but I did that and it still isn’t working

Nevermind, this seems to be working now. There must have been a cookie or something cached that didn’t clear on my computer because all is good now since rebooting the machine. Thanks!

Oh, I still don’t have the admin bar but I can deal without having that now that I got the on-page registration working.
