I have just installed WordPress 3.6.1 and BuddyPress 1.8.1 (latest) and bbpress 2.4.1 and Quick Chat 4.13
When I click on Aktivity,Friends,Groups,News, Settings, Profil or Forums on the toolbar/adminbar I get a 404 Page not Found Error.
Also when I try to register a new user i get the same error. I disabled all plugins, so that only the basic components are running (wp and buddypress).
And I tried many different Themes. I tried all permalink options bud sadly nothing works. However all funktions of the dashboard are working (site creation, creating new posts etc.). It is a directory install in the root directory . Server is running Windows (IIS7.5). Hosting Company is Server4you. I use Paralles Plesk Panel for server maintenance.
Would be nice if somebody could help me.
greetings,

Make sure the box is checked beside show the toolbar for logged out users!
If it is checked and the toolbar is still not showing up for logged out users then you have a theme issue!
enable/disable WP toolbar for logged out visitors? I’ve only ever seen the WP toolbar when logged into WP, where can I update this and is it used instead of the “bbpress login widget” ?
@shaungreen
Unless you disabled the WP toolbar for logged out visitors there should still be a login link in the toolbar to the top left.
@shaungreen
Do you have a sidebar login? Do you even have a sidebar or are you using a full-width template? There should also be a login in the WP toolbar unless you have deactivated it for logged out visitors.
@johnconner, would you be able to let me know the exact line you replaced with the new line? I’m not technical at all, and am having a hard time figuring out which line in the themed profiles module to replace. Would really appreciate your help!
Hello BP community,
I have been having trouble with certain aspects of Buddypress on my website. One reoccurring problem is a blank page when users try to “create a group” from the toolbar.
I understand that it may be a theme compatibility issue, but am pretty tied to my current theme (Nature 2.0 by SMthemes.com). Can anyone please help me out about how I can make my theme completely compatible with BP?
I have limited coding skills, but could find someone to help me out.
I’m using BP 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6.1.
My website is: http://www.thefreeair.com
Thanks in advance,
Josh

You really should open a new topic. Your toolbar not appearing is a separate issue all together. The code @rogercoathup provided is just some PHP function calls combined using the ‘.’ operator stored in a variable. The variable represents what it is equal too. For instance:
$bphelp=”A nice person who tries to help when I can”;
I could echo $bphelp; once it is declared and the result would print “A nice person who tries to help when I can” without the quotes.
Therefore it is easier to declare a variable and use the variable to call those combined functions versus typing it all out. If this sounds Greek as well then consider hiring a developer. By the way don’t mix PHP code in CSS. It wont work but you can use php conditionals to control whether CSS code is executed depending on the condition.
I’m having a problem that I’m hoping the above situation will fix, but I need more information on how to utilize what’s above.
Problem: WordPress toolbar is NOT showing up in MSIE, Firefox or Safari browsers. It IS showing in the Google Chrome browser. I’ve tried logging in with different accounts to see if it’s related to the login, but it’s the same – admin or member account – no toolbar. ALSO it’s the same with my other WordPress site – both are on two different servers. However, if I go to a WordPress.com site (versus a WordPress installation on a server/private site), the WordPress toolbar IS available.
Since the WordPress toolbar is not available, I was hoping I could create menu tabs/options to get members easily to their BuddyPress inbox. The above information about building links from the sample structure is Greek to me. Where do I put that code? I’m using the Mantra Theme, so would I put it in the Custom CSS area? In the Appearance > Menu > Enter URL option? I’m thoroughly confused and I’m such a newb. Sorry!
Here’s the website I’m building: http://ilovevampirenovels.com/ravenousbooktours

Screen for marking a user as spammer to start off. Alternatively, while in users’ area, there’s an “Edit Members” dropdown menu in WP toolbar for site/super admin where you can set User’s Capability as well.
Maybe, this could be a first hint regarding your question:
found this on Brajesh Singh’s site buddydev.com
I suspect it is a custom menu. Because the search is on the left when anonymous.
Hi @sem101,
did you figure this out already? I would love to have this also on my site.

@bilbobaghins first time I’ve seen this issue reported. Do you mean that even after you navigated to a different page, the WP Toolbar is still missing from your site or has it been resolved since then?
Just did a deeper search and found this works for now:
Just add show_admin_bar(true); to your functions.php in your theme.
In: Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Settings
I have checked the first option in Main Settings – “Show the Toolbar for logged out users”
but the toolbar does not display for logged out users.
I have added: define( 'BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR', true ); to wp-config.php and still no luck.
I just saw this ticket http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4803 but I’m not sure if there is a fix yet. Can anyone offer a solution? (We cannot upgrade to 1.8 yet)
I am running WordPress 3.6 and a few of my site’s member have noticed that both the submit button for their personal activity stream or their group activity stream is not longer there. I looked at the code that is rendered out in Chrome’s Developer Toolbar, and there is no SUBMIT field in the form.
Any ideas?
Update: When logged in, I am replicating the problem due to the toolbar appearing in the header. The solution above works when a user isn’t logged in. Furthermore, “responsive mode” doesn’t have these issues.
I was having the exact same problem (BuddyPress 1.8.1 & WordPress 3.6). I found a solution: I turned off “Show the Toolbar for logged out users” under the Buddypress settings. It seems that the image mapping for menus may get misaligned when that setting is activated (or possibly some other conflict)
All of my menus work again on the iPad & iPhone 🙂 It should work for you too.

Hello,
The intention was to insert idea management/saas but after research I thought BP could do the same! So the theme is not a special BP theme.
THe forum page looks good, but entering a forum, the text block has a vertical toolbar and static arrow block.
Hope so that someone knows how to solve this.
Kind regards of Anne
I’m having the same issue.
Is there a solution yet ??

Hello!
Thanks in advance to all who read and respond to this. I am trying to build a membership site with the premise of the members paying for access to a community to collaborate with. Ideally my end result includes:
-A general forum for anyone to view (easy enough)
-A members-only forum for collaborative project postings (like a job board, for example – in fact something closer to that would be even better)
-The ability for collaborators to have their own forum or group messaging (as in buddypress), paid members only
-The synchronization of forum and membership profile pages, etc. Currently I have the WPMU Membership plugin and its “Profile” page is different from the BuddyPress profile, obviously I would like them to be the same (so that if a user updates their name in the BuddyPress profile it is concurrent throughout).
-A clean looking solution for notification and links to profile, groups, etc either in a sidebar widget or toolbar at the top of the page (preferably not the wordpress toolbar)
That is more or less it. What is the best way to achieve this? Or even something close to it? I am relatively familiar with WordPress but new to BuddyPress, however I assumed this wouldn’t be very difficult. Please excuse any ignorance I am showing. :p
I reeeeeeally appreciate any help with this at all, it would be amazing to get this figured out! I’d owe any and all of you a beer!

Yes that’s there when you’re logged out. But after I login to wp admin, there should be a toolbar at the top of each page as I view them, woth the option to edit that page or go back into my dashboard setting and things like that. PLUS I should see a BuddyPress toolbar/menu in the top right hand corner, in order to edit the profile settings and other options. NONE of these are no longer appearing at the top of my website pages after login. They WERE before, but for some reason they are no longer there.
@doqel1 like I said, I see the WP toolbar. Just so we’re on the same page, that WP toolbar is the bar at the top with Login, Register links and the search form.
