BuddyPress.org

Hi @ratethetrainers,
see if this plugin may help:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/

@minglonaire you can also try https://bp-tricks.com/design/easily-hide-specific-tabs-on-buddypress-member-and-group-pages/ AND remove Activity from Themes > Menu in your wordpress admin dashboard

Hi @danbp This is pretty cool, fun and useful.

If bp org can add to
About Plugins Themes Documentation **Snippets** Blog Support Download
Snippets that actually work with WP4.1.1, and BP2.2x or BP 2.3 it will be an excellent and useful addition. Infact, users with some repu/creds can be allowed to post such snippets in this section, which can then be rated, commented or tagged. Making it a subsection of forum will make it less prominent but a tab by the side of plugins will be great.

PS: Just curious, is there any such easy code that hides items from the left side nav bar in the site admin’s backend dashboard ?

Hello,

please try to search in topics if a similar question wasn’t ask in the past.

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);
