Add wp_admin_bar to a BP theme

    Just when I get my head around add_action & remove_action, WP3.1 throws something new at me ;-(

    I’m trying to get the wp_admin_bar to show in a BP theme instead of the bp-adminbar. But, for the life of me, I can’t figure it out.
    I’ve found the function that determines whether the wp-adminbar is allowed to show or not, but can’t figure out how to implement it. The function can be seen here starting on line 327:
    http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.1/wp-includes/admin-bar.php

    Can anyone give me a clue?

    Just remove the admin bar:

    `define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );` in wp-config.php

    Is that what you’re trying to do?

    Thanks. The end result is precisely what I’d like to achieve. But I’d like to be able to do it in functions.php so it can be included as a theme option (ie – a switch to select either BP or WP adminbar). Removing the bp-adminbar is easy, it’s calling the wp one afterwards that’s got me stuck.

    `remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );
    remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );`

    Thanks, but I think your last post was in answer to the last poster’s question in this thread:
    https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/show-bp-admin-bar-while-in-wp-admin-only-and-hide-it-in-the-rest-of-the-site/

    `remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );` effectively removes the adminbar from the backend, but that’s not what I’m trying to achieve.
    I’m trying to replace the bp-adminbar with the WordPress adminbar in a Buddypress theme.

    Well thats just the standard action.

    To replace the bp-adminbar, with the wordpress adminbar, you must remove the bp-admin bar first! :)

    I’m still not completely comprehending what you’re trying to achieve.

    Hi again! As I mentioned in my 2nd post: “Removing the bp-adminbar is easy, it’s calling the wp one afterwards that’s got me stuck.”

    Removing the bp-adminbar is not the problem. The problem is in showing the WP bar after removal of the bp-adminbar. Or, I should say: the problem WAS… It turns out the call to display the WP bar is surprisingly simple: `show_admin_bar(true);` So, the following in functions.php efectively replaces the bp-adminbar with the WP version. Now I can create the switch for my theme. Thanks for your help!

    `define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
    show_admin_bar(true);`

    Glad you got it worked out!

    Although, I’m pretty sure that if you remove the admin bar via ‘remove_action’ and remove the CSS for admin bar body, it would make the wordpress admin bar compatible, from my understanding the 2 bars were not “incompatible” as much as “clashing”
