OK,
I made a custom “Dashboard” button in admin bar until the best solution is found.
For people who want to add the custom dashboard, seeing the same trouble:

1) make bp-custom.php in /wp-content/plugins/
2) write the folowing in bp-custom.php:

function custom_adminbar_dashboard_button() {
	if (is_user_logged_in()) {
		echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/">' . __('Dashboard', 'buddypress') . '</a>';
		echo '<ul>';
		echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/">' . __('Dashboard', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
		echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/post-new.php">' . __('New Post', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
		echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/edit.php">' . __('Manage Posts', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
		echo '<li><a href="/wp-admin/edit-comments.php">' . __('Manage Comments', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
		echo '</ul>';
		echo '</li>';
	}
}
add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_adminbar_dashboard_button', 1);

Nevertheless, “Blog Directory” does not show the site blog, so I have to re-activate the buddypress plugin anyway.

Thanks for your reply, @andrea_r

If so, why re-activating buddypress plugin makes a blog that the user belongs to show up in his/her “My Blogs” and listed in his/her “Blog Directory”?
I do not remember when, but the old (previous) buddypress immediately showed the site blog in “My Blogs” of the user who is a member of that blog.

It is weird that the user can post in the blog that is not shown in “My Blogs” nor not listed in “Blog Directory”, isn’t it?

Hi @andrea_r,

Do you mean it is natural that the buddypress plugins is re-activated in order to show site blog under each user’s My Blogs?
Sorry, but I am not with you…

How about your buddypress site? Each user does not have site blog under their My Blogs unless the re-activation of buddypress plugin?

If so, I will report it as a bug to the tracker, since it does not hapen only for me, and I really do want this to be fixed.
Anyway, aren’t there any other people seeing the same thing happening?

Hi @andrea_r,
Oh, I see.

But my situation is a little bit defrrent from what you seem to understand.
First, I use WP 3.0.3 with multi site enabled. Then I install buddypress plugin and enable it.
Thus, I have no extra blog but only one attached to buddypress (primary) site.

In this situation, a user registers the site and he/she becomes “author” of the site blog. However, it does not show in the user’s “My Blogs” nor listed in “Blog Directory”.

As a result, when the user wants to post, he/she has to access to dashboard by typing directory the url of dashboard.
Of course, the user can post a new post, and it will be displayed in the site blog. Nevertheless, the user still can not see the site blog in his/her “My Blogs” in the admin bar nor in “Blog Directory” until the administrator re-activates the buddypress plugin.

I do not think this is due to WP core features. I think this is a bug lies in the buddypress plugin.

How do you think?

I changed the version from 1.2.6 to 1.3, as it is still awaiting review.
