Hi Joshua,

OK. You’ve installed the plugin. 3 questions:
1 – Did you activate the plugin?
2 – Did you configure the options under “Settings” > “BP-WP-Navbar”?
3 – Have you studied the bp-codex on building a child theme of bp-default? If not, you really should; using a child theme makes upgrading a whole lot easier (you don’t have to edit your theme every time you upgrade BP, and you should always avoid editing core bp files).

Hi again Kristen.

$pageLinkDropdown only modifies the appearance of the adminbar, not the main theme nav. It also only applies to earlier versions of WP.

In WP 3.0, the dropdowns should appear automatically in the adminbar. You can also change the labels of the dropdowns in the plugin file at lines 44 and 45.

??

Hi Kristen,

Sorry, the backend admin panel is a feature to be included in the next version (still chewing on that bit). In the meantime, the user configuration options can be accessed and modified directly in the bp-wp-navbar.php file.

The plugin will hide the main navbar by default. To set it to show, open that file in any text editor, go to line 48 and locate
$hideMainNav = true;
change that to
$hideMainNav = false;
Save and reupload the file. Your navbar will now appear. Play around with the other options in that section of the file, between lines 32 and 59, to get your new navbar looking and behaving the way you want.

If you get stuck, post here again and I`ll be glad to help out ??

Thanks Samuel.

My php.ini has been set to 64Mb for quite some time, but it didn’t occur to me to crank that higher. Setting it to 128Mb solved things. Thanks again.

OK, my face is probably as red as the boxes: my browser settings were off. Doh! Never mind…

Update: the 2nd ad format IS showing in posts. I guess it just took a while… I tend to be a bit impatient at times ??

The red rectangles are still there though…

Same here. And I can only get the default ad to show in posts. No other ad names work. Any ideas?

Oops, sorry! Just read the sticky and realized I’m in the wrong forum. Apologies. I’ll post elsewhere.

@shelby

You can always insert the shortcode in any post you want, like so:
[ad#name]

It won’t necessarily be between posts, exactly like you want, but at least you can control in which posts you want ads to appear.

Hope this helps!

Any news on this problem? I’m having the same dilemma with bp-events.
