What’s the easiest way to completely remove the Sitewide Activity tab!? Which php file should be modified for that!?

Thanks

Hi,

thanks, nice article! But this is not really what I’m looking for…
I just need to remove the Sitewide Activity (all members activity) under the main Activity page!

Any ideas!?
Thanks
Bojan

I figure it out by myself:
Modify the line #116 within bp-activity-classes.php
Change “a.hide_sitewide = 0″ to “a.hide_sitewide = 1″

I would change that back. That doesn’t disable it, that is just telling your BP to show 0 recent activities. The easiest ever is to go to your wp-admin!

Look at the pic, change the first option to disabled!

@bojanski

hide_sitewide is a boolean, and in this line is being used to test whether an activity item has been marked as hidden or not – (it’s not a count @tom_taylor_85)

You should NOT be modifying the code there – that’s a core file, and you’ll run into problems when you upgrade if you’ve modified them. You’ve also changed the logic to say: if an item is marked as hidden get it to display – which is not what you want.

@bojanski – can you be clearer about what you mean by “remove sitewide activity tab” – do you mean you want to remove the main Activity page from the main nav bar?

If the latter – edit it out in header.php in your child theme.

Oh, sorry, i misread his post. I did not realize that it was a core file, using arrays and all that. I saw it was a count the first time

Like I said, remove the site wide activity on your wp-admin. When you disable it, it takes off the activity tab, and it disables updates being posted to an activity stream. http://i56.tinypic.com/n4tgjo.png

@tom_taylor_85 -

your solution (using the admin panel setting) turns off all activity stream posting.

The original poster only wants to remove the Sitewide Activity tab, and I assume wants to keep activity streams within profiles, etc.

The best solution is just to remove this tab from the main nav bar, is to edit the header.php file appropriately

Hi guys!
Thank you all for your feedbacks.

No. I just want to disable the “Site-Wide” or “All Members” activity tab (the first one) from the Activity Page itself.
But I want to keep the rest, for example: the Group Activity, Friends Activity….

Thanks

In your child theme (assuming it follows a similar structure to bp-default):

Edit your /activity/index.php file to remove the tab

As @rogercoathup suggested, you should open up header.php in your child theme, find the code that creates the Activity tab, and delete it.

If you don’t yet have header.php in your child theme, you’ll have to copy it here. More on BP child themes: http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Thank you all! I’m going to try that…

@bojanski,

Here is the code you are looking for, you’ll find it under /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/activity/index.php around line 22. This is presuming you have created a child theme based on the default BP theme.

<li class="selected" id="activity-all"><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() . BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG . '/' ?>" title="<?php _e( 'The public activity for everyone on this site.', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php printf( __( 'All Members (%s)', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_site_member_count() ) ?></a></li>

Remove that code and you should be good to go.

Unfortunately, the sitewide activity stream is yet loaded everytime anyone clicks on Activity tab. How to make it load only my activities, for example?

Go to these files: buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php

Line 39 thru 41 comment out like so:

That will solve your problem.
