When BuddyPress launched 1.6 they gave the option to move to the WP Admin bar.

So in that instance the old define wouldn't work.

Does the bar look similar to the on here at WPMU DEV?

If so then it's the WP Admin bar. If so then something like this would help:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/

Take care.

@Timothy: slightly confused. I've activated BP on a new site, never worked with BP before. Not sure if ti is the BP or WP bar but I want it gone.

Any advice?

Are you now using the WP admin bar?

The original BP bar still has the define here:

/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php

Take care.

does this still work with the current BP version? It doesn't seem to work for me no matter if I am logged in or not the bar is still there.

talking about this code:

define('BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true);

Try two separate ones.

One for "You are using" and then one for "WordPress 3.3.1". I would have to double check but I think they might be separate text domains.

Let me know how you get on there.

Tim I've been trying with Custom Admin Text from yesterday and no results???
and here what I type and save.. but no change in the second one..

The quickest way might be with our plugin:

Hi Tim Again,
I'll check those files thank you.
That's what I need to get ride off:

Hey again.

How to remove
Theme So and So with 2 Widgets
You are using WordPress 3.3.1.

I'm not sure what or where you mean here? Could you perhaps take a screenshot so I better understand?

from Dashboard and if you are from WPMU staff, I've installed languages package since I need some blogs in arabic and it is mentioned arabic is included, but once installed there is no arabic language option? what .mo file for arabic I'm missing and how to sort that?

For translating WordPress:

http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Arabic_.E2.80.93_.D8.B9.D8.B1.D8.A8.D9.8A_.28ar.29

Our plugins use the same process, all language files are found in the folders /languages/ and that is where you would add your translation. You can use something like poEdit for that:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Translating_With_Poedit

Take care.

yes true you are right Tim,
One more question..How to remove

Excellent, glad you got this one sorted.

I have to be honest that the panel cool (it helps people) but the branding there is crazy for a multisite install. It would be good if there were some admin options there or if the WordPress parts were replaced by the site name without the need for third party plugins.

Not yet though sadly, so until then we have to use other ways.

Take care.

Thank You Timothy,

Greetings bhusema,

Just checking if this issue was eventually resolved in another thread? Or by yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?

If so, no need to reply, that's great news.

If not, or you have any more questions related to this thread, please feel free to post them below including any new symptoms or errors and tick the 'Mark as Not Resolved (re-open)' box below the post area (or else we'll miss it!)

Otherwise, happy days, glad you got it sorted :)

Thank you for being a WPMU Dev member!

Cheers, Joe

Hey bhusema,

This is possible by using a child theme for the BuddyPress theme you are using for the sub-sites.

If you are using the default theme, create a child theme and include the following in the css:

#bp-default{
 margin-top: -25px !important;
 }

 #wp-admin-bar {
 display: none !important;
 }

Activate the parent theme on the main site and the child theme on the sub sites.

Here is how you can make one: http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Hope that helps, let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks a ton for your quick and helpful response! I'm also wondering about the possibility of removing the buddypress bar from subsites while allowing it to remain on the main site. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

Greetings! The white bar is created by a bit of CSS in your theme that adds 25px padding to the top of your site. Open your 'Social" theme > go to folder _Inc > go to folder css > and open adminbar.css. At the very top of the css, you'll see this:

body {
	padding-top: 25px;
}

Just change the padding to 0px, and this white area will vanish.

Thanks a bunch for this tip. I created the bp-custom.php, and it works great for all the subsites, but the Blogs.MU theme shows an empty white bar where the grey one used to be. Is it possible to remove the gray bar only for subsites while allowing it to remain on the main buddypress site?

Thanks

:-)

Thanks for the kind comments!

Cool !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, know it works !
Hey Timothy, nice work you are doing here. Tks !

Ah, well that one is not the WP Admin bar. Its the BuddyPress admin bar

Ok... Create a new file and name it bp-custom.php then enter this into it:

define('BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true);

Upload it to:

/wp-content/plugins/

So the path would be:

/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

This will disable your BuddyPress admin bar. :-)

Take care.

Hello Timothy,
Thank's for your fast feedback !
I have already installed the plugin, but the top admin bar is still there...
I am talking about that gray top admin bar with all wordpress and buddypress stuff... it is that one in this link: http://premium.wpmudev.org/the-buddypress-manual/about-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
I'd like to hide all that gray bar...
Thank you my friend...
Waiting some help,
Rodrigo

Hey Rodrigo, welcome to WPMU Dev! :-)

You can grab a copy of the following plugin I released a short while ago:

http://auroral.co.uk/2011/04/04/remove-the-wordpress-default-admin-bar/

That will remove your WP admin bar.

I presume it was the WP admin bar and not the BuddyPress one?

Take care.

We need to hide the top admin bar even for logged users.
We are using wordpress/buddypress and Social Theme.
I already choose not to show the admin bar for users not registered/logged, but we want to hide it even for logged users.
Thank you very much,
Rodrigo

Nice one, been meaning to look out for that...

thanks puccino worked well as described.

Use this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-welcome-panel-for-multisite/

is there a way of removing this for new sites ?
