BuddyBar Widget

By Slushman

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.

Screenshots

  • When the user is logged out of BuddyPress
  • When the user is logged into BuddyPress and only the Extended Profiles component turned on
  • With all the BuddyPress components on

Installation

  1. Upload the BuddyBar Widget folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Drag the BuddyBar Widget to a sidebar on the ‘Widgets’ page under the ‘Appearance’ menu

FAQ

What if I don’t have certain BuddyPress components turned on?

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
