Hey there.

I’m actually really confused about how to modify the admin bar. I’ve read through the codex on it and it still doesn’t seem to be working!

I’ve created a child theme for the BP default theme. Because I couldn’t seem to get the css working for the bp-core-adminbar.php file I used the code from a different topic to remove the admin bar completely and begin a new one.

The code I found was this:
function ovc_adminbar() {
require(‘ovcbar.php’);

remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 8 );
}

add_action(‘wp_footer’,’ovc_adminbar’,1);

And I found the above code here: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-modify-the-bp-admin-bar/?topic_page=2&num=15

I placed this into functions.php and the admin bar disappears. When I copied all the code from bp-core-adminbar.php into ovcbar.php (which is in ..wp-contentthemesMYTHEME) and changed the function values nothing appears on the page when I refresh it…

I also can’t work out where to edit the CSS for it? I’ve created a new file ..wp-contentthemesMYTHEME_inccssadminbar.css But the code there doesn’t seem to be working either.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’ve searched all the forum posts and can’t find a logical tested answer. I’d really appreciate some help! Complete newbie with buddypress.

Thanks,
Abi
