[Resolved] Hide BP Search Bar

    Hey guys,

    I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how to go ahead hiding the search bar to users in the members page (or indeed any page).

    I have set up various links to search results (e.g. click here to see a list of…), but I would like to restrict users to those links and prevent them from searching other users or stumbling across another directory other than one I have set up.

    As these links I have set up are links to search results (e.g. mydomain/members/XPROFILE-FIELD) I don’t want to remove the search function altogether, just make the search bar invisible.

    Can anyone help?

    Cheers 🙂

    Hi @paton400,

    give this a try. You can the function to your child-theme’s functions.php or into bp-custom.php

    //Remove Buddypress members search 
function bpfr_remove_member_search_form( $search_form_html){
    return '';
}
add_filter('bp_directory_members_search_form', 'bpfr_remove_member_search_form'  );

    Ah thank you, That worked prefect!

    Do you know how I can remove the total members counter as well (All Members)

    Regards

    This filter will remove any members count everywhere. Goes into bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

    add_filter ('bp_get_total_member_count', '__return_false');

    Now you see a count with zero. But this count is hardcoded in a span. So you can hide this with css:

    #activity-all span, 
#members-all span{
	display:none;	
}

    See html/css details in index.php of each folder in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

    Hi Danbp,

    I managed the first part no problem, but to so much with the second.

    I just pasted the following into each of the index.php folders in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/(activity, blogs, forums, groups and members)

    #activity-all span, 
#members-all span{
	display:none;	
}

    Nothing seems to have happened. The counter still appears and displays zero.

    Are you aware about css styling ?
    The css goes into your theme style.css, not in the core file.

    Please read a little the codex before asking for such basic things !
    Read about child-theme and buddypress customization. On BP’s codex and WP codex too.
    You can also learn a lot by only reading topics on this forum.
