Description
The BuddyBar Widget places all the links on BuddyPress’s BuddyBar in a sidebar widget, so you can hide the BuddyBar without losing all the funcitonality.
Features
- When a user is not logged in, the widget shows a login form (with a link to the registration page at the bottom)
- When a user is logged in, it shows all the links a user would need to manage their account
- The BuddyBar links are based on what BuddyPress components are activated.
- Multiple Instances are possible.

FAQ

-
The widget only shows links for the components that are turned on.
Reviews
Seems an incomplete project. Not ready for production.
Fatal error upon activation due to a file not being in the "includes" folder. There is no "includes" folder.
Someone attempted to resolve the issue on one of the support threads, but I didn't find that solution a successful one.
This plugin is not ready for production based on my tests.
Great Buddypress Plugin
I love this plugin. Chris (Slushman) is not only very creative, he also responds promptly to inquiries about his work.
Thank you.
