BuddyPress.org

Under the “Add a reply” textarea there is a line of text that reads thusly:
“To display code, put it between `backticks`”

Ok so the fact that the function is run for logged in users tells me that the check on the ‘disable adminbar for logged out users’ actually simply checks to see if the value has been set ‘true’ or ‘false’ not whether that function is in current operation as it were so there needs to be a further query to see if the user is logged in so the ‘if’ statement needs to include something like:

`&& !is_user_logged_in() `

added to the line at the end.

BP 1.2.6? Are you using bp-default or child theme thereof? Any privacy plugin enabled? By default, BP’s blogs directory shows all public user blogs.

@dtclarinet If you’re using BP 1.2.6, copy header.php from bp-default theme into your child theme folder, then remove lines 84 – 102 from header.php and upload. Shouldn’t be any white screen.

EDIT- modemlooper’s advice to remove via CSS is easier

you either need to remove the code or hide it with CSS either way it’s best to create a simple child theme. If you choose CSS, the easiest way, find the id for it and give it a display:none;

You would have to be more specific. BP version? Where is BP installed – main site or secondary blog? You’re using bp-default theme on main site and subsite?

Ok then skip back to the other thread where I think I suggested trying my original snippet of code but replacing ‘#header’ with ‘body’ and give that a try, is this not the issue that you are trying to loose that gap and that that gap is padding, the only padding I noted in your custom theme was on the body element.

I’m attempting to point out how this is becoming a rather confused issue and gain clarification for all concerned

Is the issue that you ARE disabling the admin bar for anonymous, non logged in users but doing so leaves a blank space?

What is your definition of a ‘Guest User’ normally ‘Guest’ and Anonymous are one and the same thing and refer to someone browsing your site without being logged in.

After updating to buddypress 1.2.6 from 1.2.5.2 , my site does not show admin bar for guest user(as admin is disabled for loggedout users) , instead inplace it shows a white space …

Logged in users can view the admin bar correctly , but non-loggedin users or guest users cannot see the admin bar , instead of the admin bar there is a white space in place … !!!

What I don’t understand is why CAN I see the admin bar when I visit your site?

As this is a custom theme have you actually tried asking the wpmu guys for support? as per my suggestion on the other thread.

As I presume the other thread is finished with and my snippet of code of no use I will close that thread as it only serves to confuse if it runs on.

@AnindyaRay: Hmmm what happens just as a ‘test’ with the default BuddyPress theme and your site? I always use the BuddyPress default theme as my ‘baseline’ test.

@anindyaray I still don’t really get what your actual issue is looking at your site as a logged out /anonymous user shows the adminbar but beside that , and obviously as you state above, you are using a custom theme so no my fix won’t work for you I and most of the others can only provide solutions based on default BP theme or core actions we or this forum can’t really support custom themes especially premium custom themes you must take issue with those themes to the original authors.

However the padding in you case is on the body so perhaps you need to revise the code I wrote for you and substitute ‘body’ for ‘#header’ and see if that works?

@AnindyaRay : Well I get a JavaScript error on your page when testing with firebug and that certainly could be making your adminbar get grumpy. My advice would be to using firebug track down what is causing that by turning off all plugins and widgets and extra code you’ve added then adding it in one by one. I usually opt for the ‘all off’ dramatic approach myself as saves time building up as oppose to one by one off. Up to you though.

@Maryke: Depends if your child uses the default BuddyPress one and has any core / major files changes in it. If it’s just CSS or additions to code then probably not but if it’s changes to code you’d have to check for anything that could be different. Generally if using default theme as your parent you’ll at least be 99% ok just depends on how extensive you’ve got in your child which I can’t really say.

@hnla
Thank for your help
I’m using wp 3.0.1 and bp 1.2.6 , with theme named “Blogs-mu”
I’m tried putting the code snippet provided by you in the function.php of the theme file which didn’t worked,
and also tried putting the code in bp-custom.php in plugins directory , which too didn’t helped
actually it happen nothing , no errors also , so it seems to me I’m pasting the code correctly !

@abarro – disablng the 25px top padding from admibar.css will cause some overlapping if the theme header have some thing else at that near top position, but for your case its ok because you have disabled the adminbar completely.

Then you’re doing something wrong! Without actual detail on what you have done or tried to do it leaves it to us to have to makes guesses which generally is wasteful of time and resources.

Rather than simply state it didn’t work describe what you tried to do with the above code, also we have little detail on what setup you are running i.e custom theme etc

So does this mean, if I’m using a child theme, I have to make a lot of changes?

Possibly because there are is a mix of issues, if you referring to the remaining padding-top then that is a property being declared in default.css on the #header ruleset and will be there regardless of the state of the adminbar:

I have only time to suggest a quick fix for that in lieu of a new ticket raised on the overall issue for 1.3

You can try dropping this into a function.php file in a child theme (you will need to add opening php tag as your file structure dictates)
`
function cancel_header_padding_for_no_adminbar() {
if(defined( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’ ) || $bp->doing_admin_bar = false) ?>

/**/
<?php
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘cancel_header_padding_for_no_adminbar’ );
`
It would also probably work in bp-custom.php to ensure it was picked up for all possible bp themes.

Note: I do not suggest this as an answer it’s a hack to get around the issue, but not a good approach all in all

I noticed your lightbox works in buddypress. Mine stopped working for me when I installed buddypress. My flickr photo gallery no longer loads photos in the lighbox… it just get stuck. When I de-activate buddypress, it works again. I tried other themes too – even the buddypress default theme, and that isn’t the problem. Any suggestions?
