    We had an odd bug which raised its head a while ago after installing wpgeodirectory, buddypress and apile of other plugins onto one wordpress site.

    The issue is that users in buddypress could not see their menu which gives them links to notifications and the like. commonly referrred to as the buddybar i believe.
    This normally appears in the admin bar in the header of the site. in my theme it appears just below in a profile dropdown menu.

    We assumed that this was due to some sort of problem with a combination of some bbpress tools which stopped admin access or possibly an error in the user role editor.

    the only fix for this was we had to allow manage_options for the user which gives them an awful lot of things they could now do.

    so instead we ended up trying to move everything out of the manage options option so that just agve them the menu option and create new capabilities that would allow admins etc to actually manage options.

    So

    TLDR
    when i enable geodirectory it removes the buddypress menu. it is the only plugin active and i ahve tested that it is not in combination with anythign else.

    I am using the buddyboss theme

    Could you please elaborate or explain why this happens or why it might be necassary to prevent anyone expect an admin to ahve the buddypress menu?

    From what i can see this is because geodirectory hides the top menu bar altogether. Could you explain why it does this please.

    Thanks

    I’ll get the developers to have a look at your question after the weekend.
    I know that the BuddyBoss theme applies a lot of its own BP features, and I am not sure that GD is turning of the BP menu, but suspect that BuddyBoss is adding it.

    I tested in 2016 also

    with GD turned off

    With Gd turned on

    The main thing is this only happens with non admin users so it might not be totally obvious when developing.

    it is in relation to the manage_options capability though. as if i turn that on for the normal users then the menu comes back

    but that then gives them other capabilities i dotn want them to have.

    @siparker,

    Have you activated BuddyPress integration addon?

    If yes, can you post your wp admin credentials? So I can take a look.

    Thanks

    Hi i’m unable to login using the credentials you provided. So i’m trying to reproduce your problem in my local.

    Can you help me by answering some of my questions?

    1) Have you tried by deactivating other plugins except the following GD, BuddyPress, BuddyPress integration

    2) What is the simplest way to reproduce your problem?

    Hi there, Can you try editing this file and replacing the code?

    File to edit: wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/ajax_handler_functions.php

    Line number: ~ 73 to 75

    Replace this part 

    

    if (get_option('geodir_allow_wpadmin') == '0' && is_user_logged_in() && !current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        show_admin_bar(false);
}
    

    with
    

    

    if (get_option('geodir_allow_wpadmin') == '0' && is_user_logged_in() && !current_user_can('manage_options') && !class_exists('BuddyPress')) {
        show_admin_bar(false);
}
    

    Let me know how that goes.
    

    Thanks
