[Resolved] Removing member links & best practice to do so?

    On the members profiles, I figured out how to add custom fields but every item ends up being a link.

    So, I found out how to delete the links here (unless this is old and outdated):
    https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-removing-links-to-searches-in-profile-fields/

    But, I am wondering what the best practice is for modifying Buddypress. I don’t want to lose any modifications I make when I upgrade to the latest Buddypress. It seems that the above method will get lost if I upgrade.

    If you put the code in bp-custom.php and put that file in …/plugins/ then it won’t be touched when you update BP.

    Thanks, if that is the best way to do it, that’s what I will do.

    I am guessing this article is outdated and should not be followed at all: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

    …right?

    bp-custom.php and a child theme are 2 different things.

    Most code that goes in bp-custom.php could instead go into your child-theme/functions.php

    shanebp already supplied you with what to do but if you would prefer you can try this plugin solution I created and it still works on the latest versions of wp/bp:

    Thank you, shanebp. And thank you, bp-help, for the plugin option.

    I was going to mark this “solved” but I don’t see that option.

    I just wanted to thank you again for that plugin! Simplest solution and works perfect! Why not submit it to the WordPress plugin archive?

    As small a plugin as this is I really don’t want to go through the hassle of putting it on the WP repo and giving support for it. But anyone else that would want to volunteer can submit it to the WP repo if they have the time for supporting it as well. Glad it helped you out though. Good luck!
