BuddyPress.org

@jessicana,

The field NAME in the field group BASE is required. This group is used for the registration page to work. As you already know, it’s also this group who allows you to show custom fields on the registration page.
The NAME field in BuddyPress is intended to receive first and last name and replace the two original fields (first name, last name) coming with WordPress.

That said, you can hide this field to users, but you can’t give them the choice to show/hide it.

The above snippet will hide the field NAME to all visitors/members, but not to site admin and the concerned profile.

function bpfr_make_name_members_only( $retval ) {	
	//hold all of our info
	global $bp;
	
	// is xprofile component active ?	
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
	
    // The user ID of the currently logged in user
    $current_user_id = (int) trim($bp->loggedin_user->id);
	
    // The author that we are currently viewing
    $author_id  = (int) trim($bp->displayed_user->id);
	
	// user can see only his name && admin can see everyone 
	if ($current_user_id !== $author_id && !current_user_can('delete_others_pages') ) {
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';	
	}
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_make_name_members_only' );

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

hi @canadadre,

you have to read the mentionnedd topic AND to follow the links if the topic contains some. 😉

i hope for you that you know how to copy/paste, because the above snippets must be added to your child-theme functions.php, or better into bp-custom.php

1. – Deny access to admins profile

// 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 );

2. – Remove admin from the member directory and recount members

// 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');

3. – Hide admin’s activities from all activity feeds

// 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 );

May this help !

I wouldn’t rely on messing with visibility settings.
To make a profile field only editable by admins, do this in bp-custom.php or a plugin:

// only admins can edit the Skills field
function chief_hide_profile_fields( $retval ) {
	
	if( is_super_admin () )
		return $retval;

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

	return $retval;

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

Note that you need to add the correct id(s) for exclude_fields.
And that ‘ || bp_is_register_page() ‘ keeps the field(s) off the register page – which you may not need to do.

Re how to create profile fields in code, there a couple of ways to do it depending on the kind of field and how it will be used.
Take a look at these plugins for more info:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-image-field/

i know some guys do not like codecanyon and the likes, but here is a guess on what you did not search yet:

http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&category=wordpress&term=hide+admin

hi @canadadre,

already asked and answered many times.
https://buddypress.org/support/search/Hide+Admin/

And the most recent answer with a partial solution is here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/overwrite-whos-online-widget-theme/

Partial means you have to complete the work, by using the same method, as the given example concern only one core widget, and not the 2 other (the 4th is the registration widget).

Another snippet, more accurate with the suggested way above. Snippet goes into bp-custom or functions.php

The field/field group is only shown to site admins. A small bug in the current BP version(.0 -> 2.0.2) prevent of completely remove the group tab from the edit screen. Bug is fixed and this will work with BP 2.1.

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'] = '60';  
		//exlude groups, separated by comma - this may work with BP 2.1
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '7'; 			
	} 
	return $retval;		
	
	endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );

@csimpson,

oh crossposting ! haven’t seen henry’s answer.

nobody visibility doesn’t exist. This setting is called “only me“. This means that only the member can see this field – and the site admins. Such fields are not for site admins, but for the members !

I don’t really understand what is not working for you, as what you’re looking for doesn’t exist in BuddyPress. Sorry if i’m misunderstanding you.

When you create such a field visibility, you should also set “Enforce the default visibility for all members“, so the member cannot modify it later on his profile settings.

Little weird side effect, when a “only me” field is used and member A wrote hello, this word becames clickabke, by default. When member B write also hello, it becames also clickable. And if A or B clcik on Hello, it shows a list of all members who wrote the same word. In this case A and B !

Not really confidential, isn’t it ? The solution is to remove the clickable link.
Here’s a snippet which let you do that selectively.

function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) {
    // Access the field you are going to display value.
    global $field;
	
    // In this array you write the ids of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2,9,54); // field ID separated by comma
	
    // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link.
    if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids))
	return $field_value;

	if ( 'datebox' == $field_type )
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )
	return $field_value;
	
	$values = explode( ',', $field_value );

	if ( !empty( $values ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) {
			$value = trim( $value );
			
			// If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable.
			if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) {
				$new_values[] = make_clickable( $value );
				
				// Is not clickable
			} else {
				
				// More than 5 spaces
				if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) {
					$new_values[] = $value;
					
					// Less than 5 spaces
				} else {
					$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
					$new_values[] = '<a href="' . $search_url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}
		
		$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );
	}
	
	return $values;
}

/**
 * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter.
 */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
    // Add your custom filter.
    add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2);
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

I think the field visibility settings are applicable to the member who is performing the setting.

The suggested way to do what you want would be to make your notes profile field hidden to all non-admin members.

The first step would be to create /wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php inside your theme.

You can copy the contents of edit.php from:

bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

Then you need to modify edit.php. In edit.php, find <?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?> and add the following immediately after it:

if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && ( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() === 'notes' ) )
    continue;

Note: I’m assuming your field name is notes

@ganzuelo

scrolling down the member page provides a funny elastic effect ! 😉 Really cool, but not what you want of course.
I disabled js on the browser and the effect disapeared immediatly.
So i think there is a js conflict, probably with some of your theme’s script.
check for the elements
`<div class=”col span_3>
<a>
<img alt=”Foxtrot Tango” /> `

You mention salient to be your theme but the source code indicates castle ? Did you rename it for a child theme usage ?
Some script don’t support this…

You use also a plugin to remove the admin bar.

<!--Plugin Global Hide Admin Tool Bar 1.6.1 Build 2014-04-16 Active --->
<!-- This website is patched against a big problem not solved from WordPress 3.3+ to date -->

Huh ?

Don’t know if the second comment belongs to that plugin, but if yes, WP is currently in 4.0 phase, so a 3.3 “problem” maybe solved.
Google to find a simplier solution to remove the toolbar. There is also a easy and light solution in on the WP codex.

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); in theme’s function or bp-custom.php would do the job on front-end !

Don’t use a hammer to kill a fly ! 😉

or have I somehow done something to hide it from non-admins?

@fakename014 Either via some function in your custom theme or a plugin. To confirm which, change to the Twenty Fourteen theme and check if the adminbar shows up. If it still isn’t showing up, deactivate all plugins to check which one is causing the issue.

@nirgalo https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-certain-admins-as-being-online/

Hi!
Ehhh any functions.php ?? Themes, BP or in a specific folder?

Running WP 3.9.1 and BP 2.0.1

I also want to remove “HOME” in BP
So the result should be first MENU Item is “FORUM” then “MEMBERS” “SEND INVITATIONS” and “ADMIN” (for admins only)

As default the menu is :
“HOME” then “FORUM” then “MEMBERS” “SEND INVITATIONS” and “ADMIN” (for admins only)

But users that get’s in at the “HOME” level post messages thinking they are posting in the FORUM…? So that is why I want to hide it or take it off!

Hope this solution works – But are unsure where to stick it… 🙂

Best regards

Nets

Did you succeeded?

I would like to hide the admin option panel (profile and view) when the user is not the owner of the profile.

can you advice?
