To check, have you followed through this helpful thread?

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/transitioning-from-1-5-x-to-1-6/

You may also have the bug that @r-a-y reports in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/404-pages-on-child-pages-in-1-6/

Just to check have you updated to the latest version if one is out for 1.6 compatibility? Are you able to switch to the default theme for BuddyPress to test if you still get the error – that way we can determine if your theme or not? I understand though on live site you may not be able to do this.

If it does turn out to be the theme there is this forum https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/ for that theme on this site. It would hopefully mean the authors can see any issues you are having and respond.

@jloc14 Install and activate @modemlooper ‘s BuddyPress Extended Settings plugin from here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-extended-settings/
In the dashboard go to BuddyPress/Extended Settings put a check beside “Profile Field Links Disable auto linking of user profile fields” and at the bottom click “Save Changes.” This will remove the auto linking of those profile fields. Alternatively you can create a file named bp-custom.php and place it in the plugins directory and copy and paste in the below code:
`<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
?>`
Save the file and this will accomplish the same goal.

@k12onos – I have confirmed your problem. This bug occurs when you try to use the Activity page as the parent for the Members, Groups and Forums pages.

To temporarily fix this problem, create a new page with a new slug (eg. /community/) and then for your Members, Groups and Forums pages, select this new page as the parent.

Can you confirm that your old behavior worked in BP 1.5?

Hi, thanks for considering BuddyPress!

Check out the codex’s “Getting Started” page; view the sidebar for child pages (particularly the first three links).

If you find you need help, please ask.

bmk0220 – Yeah, I found that the admin option to revert back to the BuddyBar doesn’t exist after upgrade. I will post a new ticket about this now.

Regarding bp-custom.php, I already mentioned this in the other thread, but I’ll mention it again for any other people reading. It’s supposed to exist in wp-content/plugins/.

Please view the codex article on what bp-custom.php is and how to create the file:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Edit: – Thanks shawn38 for posting!

Did you create the file and name it bp-custom.php and put it in the plugins directory? If you have not then do that and copy and paste the below code inside that file and make sure you save it. Here is the code:

`<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );
?>`

I created the bp-custom.php with this code, put it in wp-content and also tried it in plugins, but neither on brought back the previous admin bar. In the plugins folder did put the code (as text) in the header of the page but that’s it. Am i missing something else?

Also, i thought during the upgrade (in the wizard) on the toolbar line it said you can change your mind later if you don’t want the new WP toolbar. You can change you mind, but you can’t easily revert back? I was under the impression that if you click the check box to try out the new WP admin bar you would be able to easily disable it later.

I’ll add that option.

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
