    Hi, I want to remove the ‘add friend’ button for a specific member type in my buddypress site. I don’t want them to have friend requests from anyone.

    I tried to write this code but it does not work:

    function remove_bp_add_friend_button(); {

    $member_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() );

    if ( ‘business’ === $member_type ) {
    ‘remove_bp_add_friend_button’;
    }
    }

    Anyone can help with this?

    Try this:

    function browserco_filter_add_friend_button( $button ) {
    $member_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() );
    if ( 'business' !== $member_type ) {
        return $button;
    }
    return "";
}
add_filter( 'browserco_filter_add_friend_button', 'bp_get_add_friend_button' );

    Thanks @henrywright, but I can still see ‘add friend’ button on profile and directory for this member type. Any other solution?

    hi @browserco ., did you try to uncheck the Friend Connection under the Buddypress component?
    if not. Go to admin dashboard, go to settings, click buddypress,. and under components you can see there the Friend Connections try to uncheck it., i hope this is what you mean and this will help you. 🙂

    hi @bruce30, thanks for your help 🙂 However, i don’t want to completely remove the ability for friend connections I just don’t want certain members to have friends. I guess I will have to leave this issue as is. It really is a bummer that buddypress devs cannot provide code that help us add/remove features for different member types. What is the point of member types function if members still have same abilities?

    Oops, my apologies. This should work:

    function browserco_filter_add_friend_button( $button ) {
    $member_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() );
    if ( 'business' !== $member_type ) {
        return $button;
    }
    return "";
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_add_friend_button', 'browserco_filter_add_friend_button' );
