BuddyPress.org

I want to check these out. Thanks!

Here are a few of my favorites…

BuddyPress Profile Privacy – Users can hide different parts of their profiles… very cool.

The following are not Buddypress but they seem very compatible so far.

AG Custom Admin This is Dashboard Editor and you can control what your members see.
I have cleaned up their dashboard – they no longer see the wordpress profile or the press this tool or other random plugin settings. You can do so much with this tool and completely customize the way the back end looks. I was amazed.

User Role Editor – You can add new roles and give and take away specific powers. I have made a new role based on the Author role and gave the new role category powers. The site I am building is a family recipe site and I wanted to allow them to add their name as a category and also different cooking terms. This plugin is also a nice way to view every detail of the standard roles in WordPress.

Search Everything – This plugin seems to help with searching… I wasn’t getting any results before installing but now everything comes up.

Can you confirm you’ve checked what the last poster said? In wp-admin, go to the BuddyPress > Settings screen, and check that the “Hide admin bar for logged out users” option is disabled.

If its not showing for logged out users but showing for you when you login, go to buddypress > settings> and make sure its clicked to no where it ask’s Hide admin bar for logged out users?

If you have a bp-default child theme, copy group-header.php file.into your child theme folder as in wp-content/themes/yourchildtheme/groups/single/group-header.php
then delete lines 11-15 of said file. If you also want to delete Group Mods, then delete lines 7-30

@ahkar83 just go to wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Settings – Main Settings – Toolbar – uncheck “Show the admin bar for logged out users”

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project and my client wants only the admins to be able to create groups, so I set that option in the BuddyPress admin area, easy peasy. But, the Create A Group button still appears on the front end. For now I am simply looking for a way to hide that button, and I’ve added the CSS @Mike Pratt suggested but the button remains. Any ideas?

What would be really cool (not that I have a clue how to do this) would be:

1.) BP functionality that automagically removes the Create A Group button when you select that only admins can create groups, that would be ideal.
or
2.) A way to change the URL of the Create A Group button for the members level, so you could create a Request A Group page with a form that a member can fill out requesting a group. That is what I’d like to do, but I’m at a loss for where to start in the code, and I’m not much of a PHP dev.

Are you referring to the tabs within groups (admin, topics, etc.)?

If so, the quick and dirty way to hide them is via CSS.

As for search bar…a website said
From what I could find you can’t actually remove that search box. You can however, hide it with a bit of CSS.
Add this to your functions.php or a custom plugin;
`function hide_admin_bar_search () {
echo ‘
#adminbarsearch {
display: none;
}
‘;
}
add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘hide_admin_bar_search’);
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘hide_admin_bar_search’);`
