BuddyPress.org

Looks like Javascript problems. I’d be checking the CSS id’s and class names (in the theme HTML code) to make sure they are what they should be in order to work with BP.

.You could also try my plugin (he says with shameless self-promoting grin).

See this post for the latest beta version: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/forum/topic/updated-the-beta/
Here are the user configuration options available in the admin panel under “Settings” > “BP-WP-Navbar”
– Hide or display the main theme navigation
– Hide or display the site name in your new adminbar
– Hide or display the Login and Signup links in the adminbar
– Hide or display the “Visit Random” menu
– Select whether to display top-level WordPress pages horizontally or in a dropdown menu
– Define the label for the dropdown in WordPress 2.x
– If you’re running WP3.x, the plugin will fetch whatever custom menu labels you assign and display them in the admin bar along with all child pages in dropdowns
– Define the label for the Buddypress directory dropdown (default = “Community”)
– Define the font, font-weight and font-style for all menu items
– Define ALL colors: navbar background, main and sub menu item backgrounds, border, text and hover colors too
– Set the overall width of the navbar and of sub-menus
– Set the height of all menu items
– Adjust margins where required
– Reposition your fancy new custom navbar anywhere you like, relative to your theme so it scrolls with your pages

If you add categories to your custom menus in WP3.x, the plugin will pick them up and display them in whichever menus they are assigned to. Give it a whirl.

I am using twentyten child theme and have transferred all folders that buddypress uses for menu using BuddyPress Template Pack plugin and than use the menu to add buddypress menus using custom link. @keela I can show how if you can contact me.

You’ll need to create your own theme and modify the header.php file.

Theme design needs PHP, HTML and CSS skills. If you’ve got those, you are flying!

Check in support.. Documentation for the article on child themes.

If you are not competent building your own theme and editing the php file, you might be able to find an off the shelf theme that automatically includes categories in the nav menu

@mikey3D – there is something wrong in your set up. The default installation/theme shows the title tag with spaces between the words.

Are you using the default theme unmodified? Have you got any additional plugins running?

Switch to default theme, disable all plugins and let us know if the title tags now have spaces

This is a simple thing to achieve with just a little custom theming. It’s also highly theme specific (if, where, when, how big, etc, you want adverts), and not something I’d expect in a default setup.

If you want a simple plugin solution, there are lots of off the shelf basic plugins in WordPress that should work without problem in BuddyPress (ad-rotator plugins). Use a theme with dynamic sidebars, install the plugins and add the widgets.

If advertising is really crucial to the business, then you are better to work with a full powered ad management system, e.g. OpenX or Google Adserver. Again, these are straightforward to include in a BuddyPress site: create dynamic sidebars in your theme for each of the advertising zones you require, then insert widgets with the ad zone codes from your management system. These ad management systems provide all the options you requested, and a whole lot more.

To be more accurate the adminbar is added to the wp_footer via an add_action in the core adminbar file so you would need to remove that action and add a new action ‘bp_after_header’

You would do something along the lines of [not tested]

remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 ) ;
add_action( ‘bp_after_header’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );

Probably ought to be in a wrapper function? and would be run from a functions.php file in a child theme to avoid editing of any core files.

Then you should customise your theme and move the admin bar from the footer to an inflow position after the header, it’s that or use the positioning property absolute (bad idea) or relative using a huge offset value equally not a great idea – to effect the adminbar placement.

I visited your site and I do not see title at top.

Depending on how your theme is setup you can do that by going into header.php file and check the class Id used than go in style.css and look the class and add
display:none;
than it will not display the title and description.
This is what i have in default twentyten theme
#header #site-title a{
color: #555555;
float: left;
font-size: 40px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 20px;
text-shadow: 0 2px 1px #ffffff;
display:none;
}
#header #site-description{
float: right;
font-style: italic;
margin: 10px 0;
display:none;
}

Title and description are important for search engines.

@davidniyat – you can’t just cut and paste sections from the default theme if they rely on functions that are defined elsewhere in the theme. It’s designed to be use a parent theme.

The bp_dtheme functionality is embedded / used in various places in the theme. In particular, you need to take a look at the functions.php file where those functions are defined.

I’m using a custom child theme, so the footer copy has been changed. At the risk of inviting more spam, here’s my signup page: http://injersey.com/join-injersey
I’ve got si-captcha, Humanity, alternate slug, htaccess tweak, and 2 required profile fields. At this point it’s just getting kind of absurd. There must be some kind of backdoor that’s letting them in. Like Matt ( @footybible ), every single one of these spam signups is registering for a sub-blog. Unlike Matt, I offer the ability to register for a town via the Group Registration Options plugin ( https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-registration-options/ ) developed by @Messenlehner. Worked pretty well until 2 weeks ago, when we started getting slammed every day at about 2am with spam signups and posts.

Admin bar not appearing in front end is probably because your theme doesn’t call wp_footer()? And what is your permalink structure, can you share it here?

Did you change permalink settings to other than default? If that doesn’t work, change theme to bp-default theme.

Many solution are possible… but the best is to create a child theme so you don’t loose your custom changes at the next BP update.
In the child theme, you install a copy of header.php where the menu containing “forum” is set. That’s all.

Here comes some shameless self-promotion! Try the beta-version of my plugin: Add-All-Nav-Links-To-BP-Adminbar. You can add all your main navigation items to the bp-adminbar, hide your theme’s main nav, then customize your new adminbar just about any way you like, including repositioning the whole thing anywhere on your pages. Here’s a screenshot of the backend admin panel: http://i33.tinypic.com/2nvea8j.jpg

You can download from my site here:
http://nowrecovery.com/downloads/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar2.1beta.zip

The current release is available here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/

If you try it, please let me know what you think in the plugin’s forum

1. Does it work with the default BuddyPress theme bp-default?

2. Are your permalinks working – try changing them to a custom setting such as /%category%/%postname%/ – do you receive any error messages about .htaccess?

Ahh okay, wp-config.php is better actually.

Did you activate BuddyPress network-wide?
Also, did you enable the BuddyPress Default theme on blog id #9?
