Bug: Wrong blog title

[_DorsVenabili]

I have installed the last trunk version of BP with WPMU 2.9.1.1.

When I create a new blog and I go to 'Custom Header' in 'Appearance' in that new blog, if I select 'Show text' and I save changes, it doesn't show the new blog's title, intead that it shows the default blog's title.

I have tried this creating in more than one blog and every time happens the same, cause every blog must to show their own title.

This is a bug with the WordPress custom header API by the sounds of it. Please log this on the WordPress trac.

Ok, thanks :)

I'm sorry Andy, but I have checked the problem and it's a buddypress's bug too, cause this happens beacuse there is an error in a function in:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

We can see in line 44:

<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>

But that is wrong, cause the function bp_site_name() only shows the deafault blog's name.

I've fixed it. In file: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php in line 44:

<?php global blog_id; ?>
<h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php echo blog_name($blog_id); ?></a></h1>

And we add the next function in functions.php

function blog_name($blogid){

global $wpdb;

$blogname = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM wp_bp_user_blogs_blogmeta WHERE blog_id='".$blogid."' AND meta_key='name'");

return $blogname;

}

I think it could have something to do with this ticket: When I change the name of a blog in the backend it doesn't get changed in BP (buddybar, directories etc) It still shows the old name.

Well, it's still quite broken for me in BP 1.2.2.1

This simple patch seems to fix it:

Note that it also doesn't show the blog subtitle, even on the main blog (e.g. "just another XXX weblog"), and the background color seems to be locked to that of the BP default theme. See ​http://ryppl.techarcana.net for an example. This is using the "Bold Red" Darwin theme.

I have fixed it in this way:

function bp_site_name() {

echo apply_filters( 'bp_site_name', get_blog_option( $GLOBALS->blog_id, 'blogname' ) );

}

it works for me.
This is my first contribute, so I don't dare to set as resolved.

just a little comment. This function is rarely used, so if there is a more used alternative, I reckon it should be deleted.
Of course unless I misunderstood the bp_site_name meaning (maybe it is the name of the entire site and not of one specific blog, nevertheless looks pretty useless in the latest version of BP).

This needs to be confirmed against WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.6

[r-a-y]

I can confirm the OP's report.

Attached is a patch against v1.2.6.
Using get_bloginfo('name'), since we shouldn't stick to a multisite function for this.
