@SimpleOne, thank you, I will test that!

@simpleone,

Can you show how you solved your problem? danbp‘s code did not work for me. As you, I also wanted to hide some xprofile fields and tabs that I don’t want users to be able to edit.

@danbp, I know how to check for errors, but this didn’t helped me too much :). I solved with the blank page, but no more. Your solution works for hiding some xProfile tabs from viewing, but not from editing them. Am I wrong? Sorry!

This is my tested function (as I said, it hiding only from viewing, not from editing):

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {

   if ( is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_profile_edit() ) {
      $myfield = xprofile_get_field_data( 'User Type' );
      if( $myfield == "Faculty" ) {
         $retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';
	 //$retval['exclude_fields'] = '6,18,39';
      }
   }

   return $retval;

}

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );

The next code works as I need, but I think it is not so elegant, and it not allow to use the group ID, only his order number, as ordered by admin:

function hide_profile_group_tabs_from_editing( $group_names ){

   if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_profile_edit() && xprofile_get_field_data( "User Type") != "Faculty" ) {
      for ($x=0; $x<=sizeof($group_names); $x++) {
         if ( $x != 3 ) echo $group_names[$x]; //3 is the order number (from 0) of the tab that I need to hide in the profile edit page. This is not the group ID.
      }
   } else {
      return $group_names;
   }

}

add_filter('xprofile_filter_profile_group_tabs', 'hide_profile_group_tabs_from_editing');

@danbp, I applied the patch but the function does not works. If I put your function in the bp-custom.php I have a clean white page (display) as a result.

@danbp, thank you! I tested your solution (the last function), but no success. Is enough to put this in the bp-custom.php file?

I tried the next simple function to hide the extended fields group number 2 from editing for all members, but it not working.

function flegmatiq_profiles( $retval ) {	
	
	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '2';
	}	
	
	return $retval;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'flegmatiq_profiles' );
