How to safely remove bp_adminbar_authors_menu using bp-custom?

I want to remove bp_adminbar_authors_menu using bp-custom, not deleting whole function from bp-core files.

I’ve copy and pasted full part of bp_adminbar_authors_menu to bp-custom as folllows.

function bp_adminbar_authors_menu() {

global $current_blog;

if ( $current_blog->blog_id > 1 ) {

$authors = get_users_of_blog();

if ( is_array( $authors ) ) {

/* This is a blog, render a menu with links to all authors */

echo '<li id="bp-adminbar-authors-menu">';

_e('Blog Authors', 'buddypress');

echo '';

echo '<ul class="author-list">';

foreach( $authors as $author ) {

$author = new BP_Core_User( $author->user_id );

echo '

';

echo 'user_url . '">';

echo $author->avatar_mini;

echo ' ' . $author->fullname;

echo '<span class="activity">' . $author->last_active . '</span>';

echo '';

echo '<div class="admin-bar-clear"></div>';

echo '

';

}

echo '';

echo '';

}

}

}

And added

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_authors_menu', 12 );

But this caused wp-admin and wp-login not to load at all. Is deleting directly from bp-core files the only way?

You can’t duplicate that function because PHP will complain about duplicate function names being declared (and whitescreen).

You should be able to just put the remove_action line in, however priority may need to be 7. Have a play with a few values.

I just learned something new about PHP today, thanks.

7 doesn’t seem to work. Not even 1 or 5. Will have to play with more numbers…

try something like

function sp_test() { remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_authors_menu' ); } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'sp_test', 7 );

On a similar note… I wanted to remove one of the sidebars from the widget admin area since I won’t be using them all in my child template. I tried this but it did not work Spent a few hours researching and trying different things (including every possibly priority setting). No dice. I eventually gave up and hacked function file of the parent theme.
```
function remove_sidebar() {

unregister_sidebar('third-section');

}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_sidebar');
```

DJPaul’s suggestion doesn’t still work. I’ll just delete from core. Thanks for everything!!

Interesting… neither of us are able to remove elements using a child custom.php file. The code in my example and your example could not be more simple. It should work. Weird.

Somewhat off-topic… but I solved my unregister_sidebars() problem if anyone is interested.

For reasons I don’t completely understand, creating a bp-custom.php file with:

remove_action('admin_footer', 'bp_adminbar_authors_menu' );

works in the default BP site, but in the blog pages, the remove_action doesn’t appear to do anything. Could it be that the buddybar loads differently on individual blogs?
