BuddyPress.org

Wonderful, Tom. A minor tweak to your solution:

The original remove_action may not always work
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_login_menu’, 2 );
since we can’t guarantee that buddypress plugin is parsed before this fix plugin. A slight modification I made works for me:

I change add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );
to
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1 );
so it will run before the original bp_adminbar_login_menu runs, but after the plugins are parsed and hooks are registered, and then in custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu, I added
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

Therefore, the whole thing looks like:

function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
global $bp;

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

if ( is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

$redirecturl = $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $bp->root_domain ) . esc_url( $_SERVER );
echo '
' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '

';

// Show “Sign Up” link if user registrations are allowed
if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) {
echo '
' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '

';
}
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1 );

I agree with fbutera101, though — I am having a hard time imagining a use case where users want to leave where they already are after logging in.

@nuprn1

Just placed your code into my functions file and the menu item wasn’t removed:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, ‘favorites’ );

Would anything have change in buddypress to cause this?

I did this to my website and it works a treat. This applies if you are using the default BP theme, or a child theme. You will need to go to <b>wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php</b>

At approximately line 47, you will see the opening tags <div id="header"> Look to about line 52, and you will see the code for the home tab. Replace the code with this

<li class="selected">
<a href="yoursite.com/activity" title=""></a>
</li>

<b> Remember to add http: // before the yoursite.com/activity, for some reason it doesn’t show when I type the full URL in here.</b>

If you look below that, you should see the code for the activity tab, delete this code. You should now have removed the activity tab from the menu, and the Home tab has now been changed so it directs to the activity stream. Any problems message me.

== i got the pages to show in the footer now by creating the custom menu ==

Yes, you’re supposed to create the custom menu in Appearance > Menus as I mentioned in posts above

== but the pages still show a 404 error unless i am logged in as admin. are pages hidden or restricted in buddy press until logged in. ==

Looks like there was a redirect for a split second to sportzmoney.xn.com or something of that sort. Where did you download the bp-columns theme? Should be from WP repo.

Change theme to bp-default to check if Pages are still redirecting to 404

@rogercoathup https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php

the bad way – change `’position’ => 20, to ‘position’ => 10,` and vise versa in core lines 21 and 22

or an easy way

`remove_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_core_add_settings_nav’ );

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_core_roger_settings_nav’ );
funtion bp_core_roger_settings_nav() {
global $bp;
// the stuff
}

looking for the best way

Adding bp_adminbar_notifications_menu() in your header will probably work (as long as it’s nested inside of a `

` element), but you will need to modify the styles. You can go in one of two directions.

One, you can try to bring over the styles from bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css. You can import that entire stylesheet into your child theme with this line at the top of your child theme’s style.css:
`@`import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );
(See https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ for more info on BP child themes.) The downside of doing this is that, depending on your theme and the element in which you’re trying to nest the notifications menu, you’re going to have a really hard time getting it to look good with your theme.

The other method is to skip bp_adminbar_notifications_menu() altogether. Instead, copy the entirety of that function from bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php into functions.php of you child theme. After you’ve copied it, change the name of the copied function (to something like wwday3_adminbar_notifications_menu() – it doesn’t matter, you just have to avoid duplicate function names). Then – and here’s what will make your life easier – change the markup, and in particular the CSS selectors (classes and ids) being produced by the function, so that it matches the CSS selectors in the existing dropdown menus you’re trying to integrate with. Then, in header.php of your child theme (or wherever you’re currently trying to call bp_adminbar_notifications_menu()), make sure to call this new function instead.

Hi Donald,

It sounds like the plugin hasn’t been updated for WP 3.1, which introduced the new Network Admin (where the BuddyPress dropdown is now found).

Follow the instructions in this post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/forum/topic/change-admin_menu-to-network_admin_menu-for-wp-3-1-and-bp-1-2-8/ except do it on the file buddypress-auto-group-join/php/bp-auto-group-join-init.php. That should do the trick.

read the codex !
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

== Buddypress was not there nor was the section to configure it. ==

The Super/Network Admin has a separate new panel in WP 3.1. Click on Network Admin link in upper right hand corner and you’ll find the BuddyPress button in admin menu.

== OK but the site was totaly broken ==

Deactivate all plugins and change theme to default WP theme. Know that many BP plugins and themes from way back 1.1.2 are not compatible with current WP/BP versions.

== Do I need to upgrade a number of times ==

Nope. Just upload BP 1.2.8 and WP 3.1 manually i.e. via FTP or cpanel, etc. Access wp-admin, then go through the upgrade process. Btw, curious why not start from scratch?

@DJPaul
So, the plugin “WELCOME PACK”, written for YOU, and not working for this reason is not well-written?
I’ve read about the solution in other forums of changing “admin_menu” to “network_admin_menu” to make reappear the plugin menu, but it’s only there. You can’t change settings.
I tried this solution changing “options.php” to “../options.php” and the error changes, WordPress says that there’s no options file.
Are you reading this?: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/forum/topic/welcome-pack-not-working-after-latest-update/
@ZKWC even offered you money for the job, but you don’t give any answer.
I guess you don’t know about this change from admin_menu to network_admin_menu Or you should have told us to do it.
I’m not a programmer but I guess that you know the little change we have to do to save the settings in that options file, no?
What we have to do to get an answer from you?
Please not:
-“wait for 1.3” (that could happen in october)
-“I need money” (I need money too, but I think that offering a free plugin, and when a lot of people is using it, request for money to maintain it, it’s not a good idea. Thinkin on your reputation)
Sorry for my bad english.

Wait… do you mean a subnav? Like for instance, under profile, the subtabs are “Edit Profile, and Change Cignature?”

Could be done, wrap the bp_core_new_subnav_item call in a function which is hooked on xprofile_setup_nav action;

`/* Add the subnav items */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Requests (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_friend_get_total_requests_count() ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}`

There ya go, 2 in one!

Backup first before attempting changes – and no guarantees it will be easy
BuddyPress 1.2.8 only contains a few changes all…

Those plugins need to be updated for changes for WordPress 3.1. Contact the developers.

P.s. Achievements is my plugin and I’m aware

@JamieMM

I’m also a bit of a noob, but I’d like to recommend using the browser plug-in Firebug as a means to quickly learn css. http://getfirebug.com/

@JamieMM

You seem to be having difficulty with the basics. May I suggest switching to an easier theme to customize?

I designed BuddyLite with newbies in mind (like me!) You can get a similar look and feel as your current theme, while taking full advantage of WP3 custom menus, and a bunch of basic customization options through a simple admin panel.

You can download it here: http://buddylite.com/buddylite-basic/

@chouf1 try uploading a picture. It doesn’t work. Where is the settings options on the BP drop down menu in the plug-in list? Not there! He is aware and was on my website testing it. It broke their plug-in and many others. And the other change only makes sense if you want an hour tacked onto your administrative duties. Do you get at least 50 slogs and spammers a day? Good luck clicking around trying to delete them in the minute it used to take. UGH! I don’t know why you insist upon arguing about that. Unless you have a vested interest. I just feel sorry for all the plug-in developers who are frantically trying to make their stuff work. And now my site is broken. I’m screwed. Tried downgrading. Sucked. Didn’t work.

@ewebber I wish I had waited. You are making a wise decision!

Hopefully the following link might help? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/add-a-welcome-message-to-admin-bar-instead-of-website-name/#post-87017 ?

I use a version of it though the admin menu bar is only seen by those logged in….

Look for the `bp_adminbar_thisblog_menu` function in `bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php`. It’s around line 151 (BP Version 1.2.7).

There is an `if` statement with `current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ )`. Replace `edit_posts` with whatever role you want to check it for. https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

And you might already know this, but you should try to make your changes to the function using `bp-custom.php`. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

I am having a similar issue. The menu bar link shows
http://siteURL/press/members/admin/activity/ which gives me an error. If I change it to
http://siteURL/press/index.php/members/admin/activity/ Then it works fine.
I am on Windows hosting IIS 6.0.

Any suggestions?

=== Do I need to make any changes to my bb-config.php file to run multisite? ===

Just to be clear, you had a single WP install with BuddyPress and created internal bbPress forums i.e. via BuddyPress forums set up, before upgrading to WP 3.0.4 and then creating a network/going multisite? Try to re-run Forum Setup. Backup database and server files, then go to dashboard > BuddyPress menu > Forums Setup > Use an existing bbPress installation – and in next panel point to your bb-config.php then click on “Complete Installation”
