You can enhance the WordPress menu system to support dynamic links (including BuddyPress profile links) – there is a specific filter that you need to use.

Please take a look at this other recent forum thread, and the link on there which has all the details: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-create-new-dynamic-menu-including-bp-links/

You’ll need to be a competent PHP developer, but if so, it’s relatively straightforward

@modemlooper – I stand corrected, just noticed that the profile link is the only one I am not able to add. Just ignore my ignorance on this one. Sorry for any confusion. I literally just started with BP 2 days ago.

The old bar is deprecated. Use an older version of BuddyPress if you want to use the old bar. Please note the 1.6 notes (no pun intended):

In the Highlights section (https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/#highlights):
Toolbar — complete integration with the WordPress Toolbar.

Also in the General section (https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/#general):
BuddyPress now uses the WordPress Toolbar. The BuddyBar has been deprecated. (#3596, #3661)

FYI, the WP bar is much better and you are able to customize it fully with the available hooks.

@travel-junkie can you please repost the link to the sql.txt file as the link you’ve provided above is not working. I need to create groups in bulk and your script can be a real saver. Thanks!

I don’t think there is – others may have a way though.

Whilst I can’t say for sure it’s probably better to be safe and download versions from the codex here. https://codex.buddypress.org/version/1-5-7/ and other versions are kept.

I also ran auto update and could not access admin panel or log in as a member on the front end either – just got a blank page with “error”. Had to get my host to restore a back up from yesterday and now all ok.

Seems many people have experienced a similar problem and I am reluctant to upgrade until issue fixed.

@modemlooper sorry should have been more descriptive. I use one menu if a user is not logged in and another if they are, Like so:

`
if( !is_user_logged_in() ):
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) );
else:
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘logged_in’ ) );
endif;
`

This works fine for me unless I just haven’t run into any issues yet. Just started using BP.

I had to make this fix after the update
In bp-core-avatars.php I commented out
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘<img src="' . `
onward and added
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_url’, $gravatar );`

Also commented
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘<img src="' .`
and added
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_url’, $avatar_url );`

Not sure whether this is correct or not, but my site works.

I do not see any other issue.

I ran the auto update. Now I cannot access the admin panel for any of my wordpress/buddypress site. I need to be able to approve 30 new members asap! Please help!

Charlietech, I already answered over here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-the-admin-bar-in-bp-1-6-7/.

Hi Charlietech, the BuddyPress admin bar is now merged with the WordPress one.

So, you can use this:

‘add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);` in your functions.php file to turn off fully.

Alternatively, you can use:

‘Settings > BuddyPress : Toolbar Show the Toolbar for logged out users’

You can also select to show or hide the WordPress admin bar on your own profile.

If none of those work for you then you may need to look see if your theme is forcing something.

Just a slight point on top though, if possible can you only start one thread per question as it does help to focus responses?

There was a plugin for shops in BuddyPress but I believe it’s been deprecated. I’d be willing to pitch in to have it fixed.

Thanks 3ruce, you rock !!

After upgraded to version 1.6, I cannot setting anything. The message appeared as “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

Thank you.

I deleted the current buddypress folder and uploaded the files for 1.5.7 – if you need the 1.5.7 files, they are here http://www.sendspace.com/file/ap31nb

3ruce > how do you downgrade ?

I forgot to mention that I also tried to update the avatar with another picture > no difference

I upgraded and the whole site returned error 500 – nothing was accessible…. Downgraded again to 1.5.7 and it’s back working fine…

Hello and thank you for this update.

BP 1.6 is not working with my website. After updating from the last 1.5 release, I noticed the following issues and I can’t fix them :

– The profile avatar is correctly displayed in the WP bar when browsing in wp-admin section. But not in the mainsite as a visitor.
There is an issue with the avatar, in any page displaying an avatar (including avatar in the WP bar), for groups or any profiles. It is replaced by html code.

Example : http://www.moncoachdenutrition.com/members/coachnutrition/

When checking the code, there is an obvious code error with a double img tag (<img src="<img src) :

<li id="wp-admin-bar-user-info" class=""><a class="ab-item" href="http://www.moncoachdenutrition.com/members/coachnutrition/profile/edit/"><img src=&quot;<img src="http://www.moncoachdenutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/1/22e21576e76a0c01d85e4e611aae6c19-bpfull.jpg" alt="Avatar de Mon Coach de Nutrition" class="avatar user-1-avatar" width="64" height="64" />" width="64" height="64" alt="Avatar de %s"><span class='display-name'>Mon Coach de Nutrition</span><span class='username'>coachnutrition</span></a> </li>

– Second issue : impossible to edit a profile, as it leads to an inifinite url loop.
Example : If I try to edit the profile through

http://www.moncoachdenutrition.com/members/coachnutrition/profile/edit/

it leads to a blank page where the url is getting bigger and bigger :

http://www.moncoachdenutrition.com/members/coachnutrition/profile/edit/group/1/:/www.moncoachdenutrition.com/1/:/www.moncoachdenutrition.com/1/...

Everything was working like a charm before this update.
Please avoid advices like “you should have tested it before”. I know but Buddypress is just one of the team that I trust the most.
I just wanted to know if someone has an idea about the solution ?

Many thanks

Kris

PS website is in French, I don’t know if it is important.

How can i use old buddypress admin bar if i dont want to use this new one in 1.6.

thanks

when uploading a picture, the navigation bar align to the far left. how do i fix it?

@cmatthews Prayer might help! You really should have tested it locally before applying the update to your live site. Go into your server and rename the plugin file buddypress to something else. This may help as a temporary fix.

Just updated! the new privacy option added to the profile fields are creating confusion in my setup. Is there a way I can disable it?

I requested urgent help on this please.

Thank you very much
