I am using WPMU 2.8.6 & BP 1.1.2.
I just noticed that the adminbar and my footer has disappeared from the buddypress home page and main blog on my website.
I am using the default theme with mostly css modifications. I know that it was working till a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, I cant think of anything else I might have changed except for some theme tweaks on header.php and home.php of the front page theme. I reverted these changes (even tried using the original default theme) but it didn't work so I don't think its a theme problem.
Using firebug, I see that the footer is not being called at all but I cannot understand why this may be so. Also, firebug is not reporting any (new) errors.
I checked and get_footer() is present in the template.
I would appreciate any help in this matter. The site is at http://bit.ly/Vjkd6

The admin bar is tossed out in the footer (floated to the top with css). So the missing footer is your key problem.
Can you switch to the default theme or one of our BP themes so we can rule out the customized theme as the problem? Nine times out of ten that's the problem (customized theme).
Thanks for your help. As it turns out moving to the Social theme does fix things so I guess its a problem with my theme. I dont know why it didnt work when I tried it with the default theme earlier.
I do have get_footer() being called as usual so I just dont understand why its not working :(.
What I tried next is using my custom header.php, home.php and footer.php files in the buddypress social theme and I cant seem to reproduce the problem (ie the admin bar & footer shows up fine). So the problem lies with my customizedtheme but outside these 3 files. Can you suggest what I should try next?
My suggestion would be to hire someone to take a quick look at your them. I don't imagine it would take a decent developer long to find the problem. It's probably just a missing function call or similar.
If you don't want to do that then I would start from scratch and apply your modification one at a time ensuring that the theme works along the way.
