…and then yes, custom menu support will be there, as it is now in BP trunk, where BP components are now rendered as WP Pages — but accordingly, various plugins in the current state lead to “Page Not Found” i.e. this gap is not closed but will be.
Like Andrea said, by default, the BuddyPress admin bar should show up on all your user blogs unless you disabled it or hid it.
Make sure your user blog theme’s footer.php has the following:
wp_footer();
Won’t the buddypress admin bar show up across all sites?
What do you mean by brackets?
1 ( these )
2 { these }
3 [ these ]
or something else?
What’s happening when users try to use them? And in what context are they using them, activity updates or forum posts or profile fields or what?
And what version of BP/WP are you running? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/
Ok, I just figured out I can disable the blog nav tabs by simply turning them off in the Admin Dashboard, Buddypress, Component Setup screen. Wondering if this will affect the functionality of the plugin BuddyPress Group Wiki from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-wiki/ . The author seems away. I have diabled the blog tracking and it seems to work, but worried that it might be affecting something I am unfamiliar with.
@nuprn1 Rich I figured it out. The widget keeps any sticky topics as the latest ones regardless of when they were made that’s all. So if I make a sticky topic at anytime it is placed at the top of the list when the widget is viewed within a group or forum page.
Not really a big problem but that’s why I was getting confused. Could you just clarify that this is the intended behaviour?
Thanks,

OK! Update… I found the administrator navigation bar (now I know that’s what it’s called) at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php ! But, if I comment out the entire “My Blogs” menu code, I get this message: Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’ was given in /home1/therepec/public_html/impacollective/social/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395 (I’d post the code here, but it never post correctly for me…) Thoughts?
@modemlooper The work hasn’t even started yet. We’re waiting for the 1.2 branch to be merged with the trunk, first.
@vermva
Just FYI – I was having the same issue with FF, worked okay in IE and Chrome…
Been digging through threads here, hit this one… realized I had not deleted cookies yet, don’t know what I was thinking, so I went in and deleted all cookies related to my site and tried logging in, this time I got the menus like I should…
Don’t know if it will solve your problem, but just sayin’…
Er. You can’t, really*. What do you need them for?
*I can envisage a crazy solution iterating around $GLOBALS.
@r-a-y
Thank you for confirming! Hope when fixed, all old activity will appear.
I found out why I couldn’t see the sidebar and the footer.
One of the plugins were conflicting with BuddyPress.
I deactivated All In One SEO and now everything works fine.
@John, I’m guessing you’re using Firefox possibly?
I have the same issue using FF, but IE works fine… actually came here looking for a solutions to that issue.
Do you have the groups component enabled as well?
Also, check out Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forum Setup. Does it tell you that forums are properly installed? If not, go through the install procedure (it takes two clicks). If not, try setting up an existing installation, and make sure that BP points to the correct path of your bb-config.php file.
What do you mean they “disappeared”? Are you getting 404s when you click on the Forums tab? Do individual group forums work?
Also, any info you could provide along these lines would be helpful: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/
Most plugins do not remove data automatically on deactivation. That’d be a bad thing, since you might occasionally need to deactivate for upgrade/testing purposes, and you wouldn’t want to lose your data.
Some plugins provide a manual data deletion/uninstall function. If the plugin creates a Dashboard panel, check the panel for an Uninstall or Remove Data button.
BuddyPress does not have such a button. If you uninstall BP and want to get rid of the database clutter, just delete all the tables that start with wp_bp_. BP only keeps a few pieces of metadata in the sitewide and blog-specific tables, not really enough to worry yourself about.
Deactivate BuddyPress plugin by renaming its folder in server via FTP/cpanel.
@firetag Any news on your plugin? I have been looking for a way to categorize different types of groups and this seems like it is exactly what I´ve been looking for.
@elizawhat, what do you mean by “tighten up security”? I’m using the default BP theme (well, with a child theme), and wasn’t aware that anything needed to be added to it when using with 3.0 for security purposes!
@MADinMelbourne
Go to settings – permalinks and then choose one from common settings
You can also use own custom type
More info here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
The links look good @digitaldance Thanks for adding them. Best of luck showing off your site.
