BuddyPress.org

Not necessarily an easy fix with so little info to go on. Default is to show the adminbar all the time so setting ‘yes’ to hide it for logged out users isn’t going to change things for logged in users.

Usual questions must be asked now: Are you running a custom theme? If so then can you revert to bp-default and see how that performs.

== All I want to do is to hide the “Dashboard” button ==

Know that the “Dashboard” link in adminbar appears for logged-in users who have a role greater than Subscriber on your blog. If you still want to do this then if you don’t have one yet, create a bp-custom.php file, add the code below and upload to wp-content/plugins folder:
`<?php
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_thisblog_menu’, 6 );
?>`

== have Notifications and buttons like “Edit Profile” etc [in adminbar] ==

Notifications link and “Edit Profile” buttons are already in adminbar for logged-in-users.

if you simply want to hide Admin bar login and sign up, just add

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

to your functions.php and login and sign up will go away

Hmm unfortunately, that still did not work. Thanks for all your help thus far guys. Here is how my problem originated:

I recently transferred my site from the default ”/wordpress/” sub directory to my root directory. Everything works fine in BuddyPress except for the LOGOUT and LOGIN menu options from the BuddyPress menu bar (up at the top).

Upon looking at the URL that the logout and login tries to redirect to (in the tag), it still thinks it is in the ”/wordpress” subdirectory and the thus results in a Error 404 – Page Not Found problem.

I’ve search various ways to do this but people have either not have found a solution or seem to not have posted it. I originally thought I could just use the ‘Add All Nav Links to Admin Bar’ plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/) and hide the Login and Sign Up options but unfortunately the “Log Out” still remains since it is under the ‘My Account’.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense.

Go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings, and look at the setting for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?:” Does it say Yes? Try switching it to No.

I’m guessing that users are not being added automatically to the BP root blog (a situation which would have been irrelevant in non-MS mode). It’s possible that either the setting I mention above, or something about the way that WP eMember handles membership in an MS network, is interfering with the way that the admin bar is conditionally displayed.

You could always edit the template files for /members/single/ (in a child theme) and wrap default actions in something like :

`if( ‘1’ == bp_displayed_user_id() )`

As a check for the displayed user being ‘1’ or primary network super_admin then you’ll do stuff based on that such as unique markup for that user alone or use in a ‘if not’ manner to hide certain profile display elements.

That’s a basic approach you could extend that to be more flexible by checking a users role bp_displayed_user() checked against WP roles and capabilities for that user.

@dmanthony : cool. not sure that I ‘ve understood where I should enter 99 to hide admin … ? merci

also, from @sbrajesh, an alternative to the the Stealth Mode for Super Admins – Put this code in bp-custom.php and None of the site admin activity will be recorded nor will you appear in the Who is Online/ recently active members widget. –

`add_action(“plugins_loaded”,”bpdev_init_sm_mode”);
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}`

when admin post on wordpress, post also appeared on BuddyPress activity, as admin’s activity.

how to prevent it? how to hide admin activity?

Try this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

If you are doing a research about (display:none), no one said it’s not the best way to use it. There is a purpose for using (display:none) to hide and it does not remove it.

I’m not sure why ’99’ works, but it does and I am most grateful for it. Thanks

would there be any code somewhere to hide pages unless an admin user?

Ouch..It’s a rude way. The code just killing the admin bar, and lefting some space.

Try in wp-config.php:

`define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`

@pcwriter , can I use your code to remove adminbar from dashboard? I tried the following 3 modifications, neither of them works:
`if( is_admin())
remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );`
or
`if( is_admin())
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );`
or
`add_action(‘bp_loaded’, ‘remove_adminbar_from_dashboard );`

Hi how could I do the same for wp-admin area. Also I’d like to keep it on the rest of the site but remove it from the admin.

@ri-kun

Add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

`function remove_adminbar_from_mainsite() {
if(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’)
remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘remove_adminbar_from_mainsite’);`

I’m not a rewrite expert or anything, but here’s the HTTP headers associated with the problem. I’ve replaced my domain with blah.com.

A couple strange things that I see but can’t really explain. When requesting /forums, it looks like a 302 redirect is returned to the homepage (so maybe this is a rewrite issue). Going to “members,” which does work, returns the expected 200 code.

Also, notice the really weird request to /contact/ after all of this is done. Is that normal? It’s just a random page on my site. It had previously been a different page which I tried deleting, so it was replaced by /contact.

Hope this is useful to someone.

@Symm2112, thank you as well for the ’99’ trick.
