A possible solution here.

Hi @screampuff

You can make that link private by doing something like this:

function screampuff_hide_achi() {
    // Bail if the current user is the displayed user.
    if ( bp_loggedin_user_id() == bp_displayed_user_id() )
        return;

    // Bail if the current user is an admin.
    if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )
        return;

    // Bail if not the achievements page.
    if ( bp_current_action() != 'achievements' )
        return;

    // Redirect.
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'screampuff_hide_achi' );

Please note I haven’t tested. Also, I’m assuming the current action is ‘achievements’. It may be something else in which case the function will need a minor tweak.

hi @david13_13,

be more specific please.

@username is used all over the site, and for anybody.
Even if you hide only YOURS on a specific part, like your profile header, users will see your username on activities, or when they mention you.

Do you need this to aply only to you, as site admin, on your profile page ?
Or elsewhere too ?

i have a question for r-a-y, is it not possible to make it one time select able (for users), i mean locking down after selecting once or twice.
but admin can change it on user request ?

or making it available on registration form only ?

i also saw the ticket above mentioned but its just hiding the box from user, i dont think its a perfect solution. i will be good to hide after selecting a member type by a user .

Hi @screampuff

You could try the following function which will stop unwanted users from viewing the page directly if they tried typing the URL:

function my_hide_achievements_page() {
    $role = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Membership' );

    if ( ( $role != 'Administrator' ) || ( bp_current_user_id() == bp_displayed_user_id() ) )
        return;

    // I guess we should 404 this page because this member isn't an admin or the displayed member.
    $wp_query->set_404();
    status_header( 404 );
    nocache_headers();
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_hide_achievements_page' );

Hi there, I’m sorry to jump in on your post, I would like to know how to do this too – kind of.
OP,I think this may be of some help to you.

Admin, it may just be me being slow today, but I can’t see how to start a new thread or help request from my dash, could you pop a link here for me? Sorry about that! 🙁

Anyone, I would like to know how to hide (not remove) only the top nav menu, with ‘profile, activity, messages, friends’ etc. I have this menu elsewhere. I want to remove it from all other places. But I need to keep the subnav links visible.

I know how to -remove- an item nav/subnav – but want to -hide- top links without removing the actual function of the url in order that I can still link to it from my own menu.

I can edit the css in buddypress.css, I’ve tried a few things but nothing works so far, like.

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs {display:none};

I’ve also tried finding the link to the menu in the home or message-header.php in buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single to amend it there.

If anyone could help I’d be so grateful, and sorry OP for riding your post, hope the link helped you. Admin if you could post me a link to start a new thread that would be great 🙂 Thank you

This will hide fields on the profile edit page and on the register page.
You need to add the field IDs.
Put the function in bp-custom.php.

function oazar_hide_profile_fields( $retval ) {
	
	if( is_super_admin () )
		return $retval;

	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() || bp_is_register_page() )
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '3';	//field ID's separated by comma

	return $retval;

}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'oazar_hide_profile_fields' );

Hi @danbp asked me about this.. So here’s a way to hide the tabs

function turker_remove_group_admin_tab() {
	if ( ! bp_is_group() || ! ( bp_is_current_action( 'admin' ) && bp_action_variable( 0 ) ) || is_super_admin() ) {
		return;
	}

	// Add the admin subnav slug you want to hide in the
	// following array
	$hide_tabs = array(
		'group-avatar' => 1,
		'delete-group' => 1,
	);

	$parent_nav_slug = bp_get_current_group_slug() . '_manage';

	// Remove the nav items
	foreach ( array_keys( $hide_tabs ) as $tab ) {
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $parent_nav_slug, $tab );
	}

	// You may want to be sure the user can't access
	if ( ! empty( $hide_tabs[ bp_action_variable( 0 ) ] ) ) {
		bp_core_add_message( 'Sorry buddy, but this part is restricted to super admins!', 'error' );
		bp_core_redirect( bp_get_group_permalink( groups_get_current_group() ) );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'turker_remove_group_admin_tab', 9 );

Hi @amic58, @tecca

When BP is installed and xProfile is activated, the original WP profile settings are not accessible to user.

The WP register process use only username, password and email and BuddyPress add by default a Name field as base for other extended profile fields.

In short this means that username and name fields can contain a same information(a name, a pseudonym, a first or/and a last name). The plugin you mention is best for a WP install where user had choosen first/last name as output on post, comments, etc Once BP is activated, this became a little different.

Now to the initial question.
The CSS trick is a very inelegant solution as it lets everybody knowing how BP works to surround this invisibility. You’re also loosing any flexibility if you want to show some fields privately for example.

You can do this properly with a little snippet, as explained here:

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

Here’s an example which let you hide fields or fiels group to members, but not to site admin

function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $retval ) {
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :	
	
	// hide profile group/field to all except admin	
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {		
		//exlude fields, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';  
		//exlude groups, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '1'; 			
	} 
	return $retval;		
	
	endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );

Add it to bp-custom.php or your child-theme functions.php

Of course you can also choose to show a field or group, but remove the possibility for the user to edit it later. Simply add more conditionnal to the function.

Here another example:

function bpfr_hide_profile_edit( $retval ) {	
	// remove field from edit tab
	if(  bp_is_user_profile_edit() ) {		
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma
	}	
	// allow field on register page
	if ( bp_is_register_page() ) {
		$retval['include_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma
		}		
	
	// hide the field on profile view tab
	if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=54' ) ) : 
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '54'; // ID's separated by comma	
	endif;	
	
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_edit' );

Hope to be clear.

Assuming the user_id for the admin is 1, try this:

function infok_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
    //list of users to exclude
     $excluded_users = '1'; //comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude
   
    if($object!='members')//hide for members only
        return $qs;
    
    $args=wp_parse_args($qs);
    
    //check if we are searching for friends list etc?, do not exclude in this case
    if(!empty($args['user_id']))
        return $qs;
    
    if(!empty($args['exclude']))
        $args['exclude']=$args['exclude'].','.$excluded_users;
    else 
        $args['exclude']=$excluded_users;
      
    $qs=build_query($args);
     
   return $qs;   
}
add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','infok_exclude_users',20,2);

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-profiles-of-a-specific-role-not-admin/

I created a new thread. Sorry to hijack/resurrect this thread.

There are a few issues with that solution.
1. ‘1’ can’t view their own profile
2. What if there are multiple admins

Suggestion:

function hide_admin_profiles() {

    // Bail if this is not a profile.
    if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() )
        return;

    if ( ! is_super_admin() ) {
         if ( is_super_admin( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) {
             wp_redirect( home_url() );
             exit;
         }
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'hide_admin_profiles' );

Hi @dreamh11,

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function hide_admin_profile() {

    // Bail if this is not a profile.
    if ( ! bp_is_user_profile() )
        return;

    // This assumes the member ID of the admin user is 1.
    if ( 1 == bp_displayed_user_id() ) {
        // We're trying to view the admin's profile so redirect to the homepage.
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'hide_admin_profile' );

Give this a try

// deny access to admins profile. User is redirected to the homepage

function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {
	global $bp; 
	if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
	wp_redirect( home_url() );
	exit;
	endif;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );

// Remove admin from the member directory

function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
	
	$excluded_user='1'; // Id's to remove, separated by comma
	
	if($object != 'members' && $object != 'friends')// hide admin to members & friends 
	return $qs;
	
	$args=wp_parse_args($qs);
	
	if(!empty($args['user_id']))
	return $qs;	
	
	if(!empty($args['exclude']))
	$args['exclude'] = $args['exclude'].','.$excluded_user;
	else
	$args['exclude'] = $excluded_user;
	
	$qs = build_query($args);
	
	return $qs;
	
}
add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','bpdev_exclude_users',20,2);

// once admin is removed, we must recount the members !

function bpfr_hide_get_total_filter($count){
	return $count-1;
}
add_filter('bp_get_total_member_count','bpfr_hide_get_total_filter');

// hide admin's activities from all activity feeds

function bpfr_hide_admin_activity( $a, $activities ) {	
	
	// ... but allow admin to see his activities!
	if ( is_site_admin() )	
	return $activities;	
	
	foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {	
		// ID's to exclude, separated by commas. ID 1 is always the superadmin
		if ( $activity->user_id == 1  ) {			
			
			unset( $activities->activities[$key] );			
			
			$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;			
			$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;			
			$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;				
		}		
	}		
	// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items 	
	$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );		
	$activities->activities = $activities_new;	
	
	return $activities;
	
}
add_action( 'bp_has_activities', 'bpfr_hide_admin_activity', 10, 2 );

hi @ahd904,

behind your tech question, two things need some clarification at least.

First:

I just want to hide some of the group creation steps as these might make the users think too complicated to join the community.

Register process doesn’t include group creation, nore joigning a group, so i guess you are thinking about a problem that doesn’t exist at this stage.

If you allow your users to create groups, they have to follow the 3 creation steps, because it is intended so in BuddyPress. Thinking that this might be to complicated, implies that you think that your users are not able to do this. Mabe you’re right, but maybe not. Anyway in this case, simply deactivate group creation for users and create users groups yourself.
Assuming that you don’t think it’s too complicated for the user to click on “join group” ! 🙄

As @bphelp said with reason, what your question implies needs some extra coding and much more as a simple snippet. You can do many things with BuddyPress, but not everithing or anything. 😉

Second:
Core simplification is a hard work (see Trac), so don’t expect that your goal could be reached easily, as BP will never be a “one click” tool. IMO this plugin is already very easy to use as is.

That said, you could imagine your project differently and perhaps apply another strategy.
For example, the ability for users to join automatically a group at registration. 2 plugins can do that actually.

• This one allows a new BuddyPress user to select groups to join during the registration process. You create the group, user choose his group.
• This one create a new Group when a new user sign up. But what will happen when you have 50 registration by day, spammers included ?

In both case, pros and cons have to be considered.

if you love the snippets and sweat on your site, here are two other options.

• Snippet: automatically add new user to a group
• Snippet: allow new user to be auto joined to groups you select from the admin (from core dev @imath). Explanation in french, coded in english – of course ! 🙂 )
