Buddybar not showing at top of the site?
-
I’m using the Free EcoLines template downloaded from WordPress.org, and I even went through the process to add buddypress to it (update functions.php, etc.). However, the bar isn’t showing across the top of the screen with the login information.
Is this theme Buddypress ready?
And if I can’t get the bar showing, then how can I code a login/logout box at the top?
Thanks!

To get a WP theme working with BP, you need to install the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the steps – see BP Template Pack walkthrough https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
Btw, BP Template Pack plugin needs to be updated for BP 1.2.6 yet, but someone has unofficially updated it at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-template-pack-and-buddypress-1-2-6-things-break-but-i-have-a-solutionOkay, I’ll try that. I had tried the plugin, but got an error. The primary theme is buddypress enabled, so I thought maybe there was conflict there.
“The primary theme is buddypress enabled,”
@zenzard – what primary theme? Per your post, you’re using “Ecolines” theme from repo, but I can’t find any such theme there https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/I hope I explain this right. The active theme on my site is Detox, which is bp enabled. However, I am using the Page Theme plugin so I can use different themes on different pages. The theme I want to use on two different pages is the Ecolines free theme (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/eco). So it’s that theme where I want the bar to show up. (live link: http://herppeople.com/herpauctions/).
I have installed the plugin using the corrected file above, and this is the error I get….
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_post_update() (previously declared in /home/***MY SITE****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:113) in /home/*****MY SITE****/public_html/wp-content/themes/Detox/_inc/ajax.php on line 92
So I think the fact that my primary theme, Detox, is bp enabled, is conflicting with the plugin. Clear as mud? LOL!!!!!
@zenzard yup, clear as mud. Never used Page Theme plugin. You might want to contact Page Theme plugin author to get it to work with two BP compatible themes. On the other hand, it looks to me that it’ll be much easier and more future-proof to create Page Template/s instead.
Page templates? What are those? If I can keep my CSS/images then I’m game!
