There are a lot more features with the new admin bar merge and I think I’m right in saying at some point the fall back of going to the BuddyBar will be removed. However, in the meantime @r-a-y posted this snippet a few days ago that should help:
Add the following code snippet in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );`
I have recently upgraded to the new 1.6 buddypress and i decided to activate the word press admin bar. However i don’t like it and want to go back to the buddypress one.
I cant seem to find the setting to do this, can someone please help.
P.S love the new version
That “out of memory” message indicates the problem is with a lack of memory, not BuddyPress specifically. Your server just doesn’t have enough memory to load more code.
To address this, ask your webhost for help, or look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
I am currently running WordPress 3.4.1 and 1.6 BuddyPress and I recently upgraded from 1.5.7 BuddyPress. I have not made any modifications to the files since installation.
I am running 2.1.2 bbPress with 1.6 BuddyPress, but I am not able to activate any other plugins (Akismet, User Spam Remover, etc.). I receive fatal errors stating “Out of memory” when I try to activate any other plugin.
It seems obvious that I need to call for more memory via .htaccess file. Any alternatives?
I use Akismet to filter comments on the homepage, and I used User Spam Remover to disable “New User Registration” emails. Any alternatives to these? I noticed that 1.6 has Akismet integration, but I could not find it in the 1.6 Codex directory.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
The blog post for each release contains a list of people who contributed patches towards that specific release. The humans.txt file contained within the BuddyPress archive (https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/humans.txt) contains names of longer-term contributors.
@ultimateuser – Ron’s BP Multi Network plugin works with WP Multi Network or their Networks+ plugin, but a third option to create networks is Networks for WordPress which is similar to WP Multi Networks but was last updated more recently in May 2012 – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/networks-for-wordpress/
I just upgraded to BP 1.6 and found that I can’t post activity status updates on a private network anymore using BuddyDev’s BuddyPress Multi Network plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/ , but maybe it’s me. I might check out Ron’s plugin again to see how it does with BP 1.6
What did you end up using?
How do i change my text in the activation email i want to translate it and write my own text. I tried editing the file: plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php I changed the text in this function but it didn’t change the activation email function:
bp_core_activation_signup_blog_notification( $domain, $path, $title, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {
// Send email with activation link.
$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() ."?key=$key";
$activate_url = esc_url( $activate_url );
$admin_email = get_site_option( 'admin_email' );
if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
$admin_email = 'support@' . $_SERVER;
$from_name = ( '' == get_site_option( 'site_name' ) ) ? 'WordPress' : esc_html( get_site_option( 'site_name' ) );
$message_headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0n" . "From: "{$from_name}" n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="" . get_option( 'blog_charset' ) . ""n";
$message = sprintf( __( "Gracias por registrarse al mejor redsocial de Guatemala! Para completar la activacion de su cuenta, por favor haga clic en el siguiente enlace:nn%1$snnnnDespues de activar, puede visitar su sitio aqui:nn%2$s", 'buddypress' ), $activate_url, esc_url( "http://{$domain}{$path}" ) );
$subject = ' ' . sprintf(__( 'Activate %s', 'buddypress' ), esc_url( 'http://' . $domain . $path ) );
But nothing happened am i editing the wrong file? I am also using the plugins: BP Auto Login on Activation and Welcome Pack. Can it be that the email that is sent is contained in there?
Thank you guys for your help in advance!
in researching this I installed the WP jQuery CDN Plugin and it is set as Google Ajax API jQuery CDN
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-jquery-cdn/
This appears to resolve (temporarily) the problem
I hope that this helps
@fiq feel free to create a child theme of the BP Default theme or a BP-aware WP theme and submit it to the WP Theme Repository https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/ Let me know when you do and I’ll review your theme 
For your reference ->https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development_Checklist
Hi .. I think I am having the same problem
I am running Buddypress 1.6 and WordPress 3.4.1
I am finding the Add Friend feature is not working and the reply to message functionality (when I try and reply to a message it isn’t working.)
When I click on Add friend it just appears to remove the button and the friend pending button doesn’t appear and it doesn’t active the friend request
When I try and reply to a message I type in the message and click on the send reply and it just clears the message window.
I am not sure how to uninstall/remove the CDN version of jQuery. Can you please point to some instructions on how to do this?
You would probably find a better answer on the wordpress.org support forums, but I’ve used WP PageNavi in the past:

Hey guys, I am working on a beta site as a possible full site redesign.
I am running wordpress 3.4.1 and buddypress 1.6 these are both brand new installs. I also have a plugin called darkonyx (it’s in the wordpress plugin directory) which is a video database plugin. The database itself is in a different subdirectory.
When I have just that plugin active it works fine. However when I activate buddypress the videos that are supposed to display no longer work. The short code is not present and I just have a blank area. Any ideas on what could be causing this? It works perfectly otherwise. I thought it may have something to do with the theme, but even if I change the theme back to a default wp theme with or without buddypress optimization it will not display the video.
Test site can be seen at: gamersarcadia.com/thisisbeta or gamersarcadia.com/thisisbeta/darkonyx/wordpress the first has the buddypress plugin on and the other has buddypress not active.
Perhaps I am not understanding what you’re saying. The codex tells me that I can have both. I followed the instructions to the letter.
I went ahead and upgraded to BuddyPress 1.6/Salutation 1.5.1/BBP 2.1.2 and my WordPress is at 3.4.1. I also copied my bb-config.php file to my wp-content folder.
I decided to fore-go the site-wide forums and just use the forums within the groups.
I’m still unable to create a new topic inside of a group. Nothing happens when I click on either of the 2 ‘New Topic’ buttons.
Also when I enter text in the “What’s New in ‘this group’?” activity box, there is no submit button and the comment just sits there.
I tested this using the buddy-press default theme as I’m hoping to get this resolved soon so that I can try it with my Salutation theme.
@mairaj first and foremost backup database and server files.
There’s this info which I used late last year for one multisite installation http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/how-to-disable-multisite/ but haven’t had to use this year. To ensure whether said tutorial can be implemented for current installations, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
If you’re using Genesis, you’ll also need the Genesis theme compatibility plugin called Genesis Connect:
http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-connect
If you don’t want to use that paid version, you can try using the free BP Template Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Although, it should be stated that Genesis Connect is probably better suited as it should integrate with your Genesis theme seamlessly, while BP Template Pack will give you a generic look that might not gel with your theme and might require some CSS and template tinkering to get it just the way you want.
Try uninstalling / removing your CDN version of jQuery so it reverts to WordPress’ version of jQuery. See if that fixes things.
I finally worked up the nerve to download and install BuddyPress onto my WordPress site. I also updated my Genesis theme.
Now I get a message saying “You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.”
Now I am confused and more than a bit nervous, I don’t have a good understanding of this. Do I go into Themes and hit the Activate button for Buddy press?
If I do this, won’t I lose my Genesis theme from my site? What I would like to know is how I keep my current theme and add the Buddypress to it, so I can have a forum right on my website.
Thanks!!!!
Check if content of your wp-content/themes/pokereagle/members/single/forums.php file is the same as content of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/forums.php
@ceric you can apply the fix to your installation if you’re up to it.
Open up wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and make the changes per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6247
Remove the line/s highlighted in pink and add the line highlighted in light green.
Save file.
I am confused. Is this fixed now on the ticket?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
Something for me to do?:
“Syntax that is being used seems to be: ‘html’ => ‘false'”
I have most up to date version of BuddyPress & bbPress & WordPress.
Go to http://www.pokereagles.com/members/pokerboss5/ and you will see it displays correct
Now when you click on Forums or just go to http://www.pokereagles.com/members/pokerboss5/forums/
You will see the display is all messed up. What do I need to do to fix this? Thank You!!
It’s a bug made by a change in 1.6; we are sorry, and we’ll fix it soon. Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
