Hey, Patrick! Awesome post.

It is almost working 100% for me. What I cant get is the header.php file. I cant display my logged out menu and my logged in menu. It is the same in both cases, but when logged-out I cant acess the tabs.

My header.php file is a bit different than your, could you give me a hand to finish it?

This is what i could find in the Header file:

false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>

Thak you very much!

Hey Patrick, great post!!

I am noob, so It took me like 4 hours to solve it but I got it!! Actually only one thing is missing..

Something is wrong with my header.php code, I cant make my logged-out tab appear, it is the same tab logged in or out. This is the code i found in header.php. It is a bit different from the one you requested to search for.

I am using buddypress 1.7.2, default theme.

false ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>

thank you very much.

How would you go about doing something like this when using pro-sites?

I figured out the 2nd problem. PHP 5.4 was the culprit. I switched back to php 5.3 and the redirection after login seems to be working fine on all browsers. I’m still trying to figure out why my blog page is locked(which i don’t want to happen.

I tried this and I love it. But I’m having some issues with it. 1: My blog page gets locked whether I have the template set or not set. 2: In i.e and firefox, after a user logs in the page redirects to the same log in page as if the user never logged in, however the user is logged in. The user the have to click on another page to see the logged in menu. This does not happen with Chrome. I’m using the Sahifa theme, I’m not sure if that may have something to do with the issues.

@nobbyrn @michael_vlahov Guys, the instructions for the Frisco theme can be found in the functions.php file, right at the top. You simply need to create a functions-custom.php file, and copy/paste the bp_dtheme_setup function (from lines 37 to 82 inclusively). In functions-custom.php, change line 52 to this:

	// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in two locations.
	register_nav_menus( array(
		'primary' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'buddypress' ),
		'secondary' => __( 'Secondary Navigation', 'buddypress' ),
	) );

Then save and upload that file to the theme folder. Finally, activate the custom functions file by checking the box in the theme options. The modified function in your functions-custom.php file should override the same function in the theme's default functions.php.
