BuddyPress.org

Since I upgraded buddypress to 1.6 I do not have admin bar is there any setting I am missing to have admin bar when logged in

bp-custom.php needs to go in your plugins directory, not in wp-content/

Didn’t work here.

You can probably get back into your admin panel by “deactivating” some or ALL of your plugins. You can deactivate all of them by just changing the name of the wp-content/plugins folder via an FTP software to something else (pluginz). If you are sure that it is Buddypress that is the offender, you can just go in and delete the wp-content/plugins/buddypress folder and see if that gets you back in (don’t worry: all your content from BP is stored in the MySQL table, which is separate from your plugins directory, so you won’t lose anything by deleting a plugin: you can always download another version through the plugin installer).

Alternatively, if you think it’s a theme issue, do the same thing only with the theme. Delete the Mingle folder in wp-content/themes and Buddypress should revert back to the BP-Default theme. If it doesn’t, delete Mingle and Buddpress (the plugin) and then re-download Buddypress and activate the default theme.

As Tammi pointed out, it looks like Mingle is compatible with 1.6. http://themeforest.net/item/mingle-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/235056

You can add this code to your /wp-content/bp-custom.php file (if you don’t already have one and this is your first time adding custom code, just create the file through your FTP client)

`// disable the WP Toolbar and revert back to the BuddyBar
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );`

I thought that integrating BBP 2.1.2 meant you didn’t have group forums, but a sitewide forum. In order to have forums that are connected to specific groups, I think you need the bb-config.php (bbpress version 1) file in your wp-content folder. This should be automagically created when you enable forums for groups: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bp-group-forums

Having the newer version of bbpress (the full plugin available through the repo, and activated through your plugins menu) will create forums separate from the groups you create.

@charlietech Have a look at the link @r-a-y added you’ll see the code you can add to your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file (if you don’t already have one and this is your first time adding custom code, just create the file through your FTP client)

`// disable the WP Toolbar and revert back to the BuddyBar
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );`

I’m not sure if the Invite anyone plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/) has been updated yet to work with BuddyPress 1.6. If it’s not then until it has it wouldn’t be recommended to use with 1.6.

Hey ray,

Thanks for the post, unfortunately, I already did the upgrade this morning and didnt check the box for the toolbar. How do i bring back the wizard so i can check the do not change toolbar box? i tried to delete buddypress and reinstall it but it didnt bring the wizard back.

I haven’t updated because I use so many custom bits. But seeing as how so many things changed, I have to ask… why?

Didn’t 1.5 make significant changes to custom BuddyPress usernames, only to remove it in 1.6 to use the default WordPress naming scheme? So this means we’re back to lowercase names?

I can understand making changes to previously broken code, but when other thing aren’t broken, why fix them?

Yes, it’s possible.

Add the following code snippet in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );`

@mr_zog – There hasn’t been any significant changes to the bp-default theme since 1.5.7. What version of BP 1.5 were you using before?

Looks like you have narrowed this down to a child theme issue. Unfortunately, it’s hard to debug what’s happening. Are you using the “bp_is_current_component()” function in anyway? Did you disable the Extended Profiles component?

Try to pinpoint what pages this error shows up on and then figure out which custom template file is causing the problem.

@Roger Coathup thanks for pointing out that filter. I’ll check it out and see how it all fits together.

I’m not sure how your site is supposed to look or function, but I am able to access your BuddyPress pages:

About the double line at the top, try disabling the WP Toolbar with the code snippet listed here:

Upgrading to 1.6

Just wanted to add my two-pennies worth to this discussion – I had the error posting topic message and the “forum not enabled in this group” message too. I had already enabled forums and previously posted. Somewhere along the line though, I hadn’t realised – perhaps it was during migration to subdomain, that bb-config hadn’t been updated, but when I updated the bb-config in the root folder to match the details in the wp-config, it suddenly worked perfectly again, so double check your bb-config files!

No problem, there are a number of great getting started guides https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/ – also a great day to get BuddyPress as it’s just had a new version released today

Can you make sure that your BuddyPress pages are setup properly?

Login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Then, click on “Pages“:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

Yes, so do I. Following the instruction from Internet, I have been tried so many times to modify the file ” httpd.conf ” on Apache server. But failed. I was also try to creat .htaccess file but the computer display to me that can not with “.”,because this type of file name only for system.
Who could be help me to install the buddypress? Or give me solution details?
My server: Mac OS X Server(mountain lion)+apache2.2+php5.3 with WordPress 3.4.1+buddypress 1.6+frisco theme.

Did you upgrade properly?
