BuddyPress.org

@jeremymh,

Plugin author stopped support on wp.org repo since a few weeks.
sLaNGjIs Team do not provide support on wordpress.org forum and reviews system!

If you get an issue, you have to ask here now https://github.com/sLaNGjI
This is also the reason why nobody answered to your question on support….

FYI, i found this in the plugin review ! You’ve nothing to loose to try that.

In plugin’s ReadMe, it’s stated that:
* Work on all WordPress version from 3.1+ to 4.2+
* Compatible with bbPress and BuddyPress (for front-end hide).

BuddyPress settings has an option to show/hide the Toolbar to users, which is working properly since a while. I’m not aware of any toolbar trouble who should be resolved in BP’s core in regard of a third party plugin.

Conclusion: don’t use a plugin who has no decent support. Do it yourself or search another plugin. Sorry !

Test admin bar (called Toolbar since WP 3.3) removal with one of Twenty’s theme.
It shows always on admin when logged-in, and depending the theme you use, on front-end.

WP reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar

Which theme do you use ?

@sismis,

Howdy [username] is part of WordPress Toolbar. When BP is activated, it add a sub-menu to this menu.

If you want it elswhere, it’s not really possible as the BP part of it was written to go to the admin_bar only.

To get a similar menu, you simply add buddypress menu to your theme main menu (explained on above codex link). But this menu will be static and you cant get same details.

Another solution is to recode that menu, so you can add it with a filter function to wp_nav_menu, which handles the main menu or the header menu.

To do this, you can use a new Walker Class extention or the existing filter. Possibly also some other ways to do this, but i don’t know them.

To remove the Howdy menu and the attached BuddyPress Profile sub menu from the Toolbar, you can use this snippet (in functions.php or bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_remove_my_account_menu() {  
    global $wp_admin_bar;  
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('my-account');  
}  
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_remove_my_account_menu' );

@darkhelmet1 – settings -> buddypress -> third tab near top is “settings”
first checkbox: Show the Toolbar for logged out users

Is it checked?

Which theme are you using?

Any other plugins installed / activated?

I can confirm that Raindrops theme is working correctly with BP and taht the admin bar is showing up to logged in users.

Deactivate and delete the admin bar plugin. Remove also any custom code you have added in the past concerning the toolbar. The idea is to revert back to a fully standard WP install.

If this doesn’t work, you have to go to your db and check the wp_options table for the toolbar setting.
Search for option_name hide-loggedout-adminbar where value must contain 1.

@atfpodcast – is the bar there when they are not logged in?

does it do the same thing when using the 2014 or 2015 theme?

have you checked settings –

admin dashboard – settings – buddypress – click the settings tab – checkbox – Toolbar Show the Toolbar for logged out users ?

occur when other plugins are deactivated?

I tested the snippet on Buddy theme, so i’m pretty sure you have a user menu. This menu is on WP’s Toolbar. You see it when you’re logged in.

To choose an item position, you have to do it differently, as explained here:

[Resolved] Position Notification Counter Bubble after Specific Navigation Tab ID

For more about menu handling and functions, see WP Codex, as this is not really related to BuddyPress. Now it’s your turn to work a little !

Hi,

search a bit here: https://wordpress.org/search/admin+bar

also on this forum:

Hi Patryk,
Did you try using the BuddyPress data repair tool? I’ve had some success with it in cases like this. In the back end toolbar, go to Tools > BuddyPress and choose which data to repair. You should only run one repair job at a time. (I usually step through all five repairs just to make sure everything’s synced.) Hope this helps!

Thank you guys, I ended up finally finding my way with the use of the All in One Admin Bar plugin (has the custom CSS editor built in) and I used this:

#wp-toolbar > ul > li {display:block;}

One crucial question to all: which theme do you use ?
Have you similar issue by using one of WP’s twenty theme ?
Have you searched in your theme documentation ? Remeber that we do not support commercial products here as we have no access to the code.

Also:
The Toolbar is related to WordPress, BuddyPress use it only to add a sub-nav block under Howdy on the top right corner.

Please use the codex first for basic questions around WordPress or BuddyPress.

BuddyPress comes with a login widget you can use on every existing theme who accept widgets.

BuddyPress Widgets

To style a button, you use CSS. This is common to any modern CMS software.
