after a shower — it came to me that I should just hide the menu item in CSS with the following:
#wp-admin-bar-my-account-activity{display:none;}

But this hides it from everyone… does anyone else have a better idea?

@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');

About your other questions, it is a total custom theme, but I haven’t made any changes to it for weeks and this problem just cropped up a couple of days ago. I know for sure it just started because I use that load more all day.

It’s difficult for me to answer the question about whether it happens in the default theme because I don’t want to change my live site because people are using it, and when I create a staging site, the load more button works in the current theme. I cannot understand why the problem only exists on the live site and not the staging site. I am creating the staging site when I am seeing the issue, it only takes a couple of minutes to create it, it’s on the same server, but the load more button works there.

Thanks again for your help.

*sigh*

Of course, as soon as I post this, I find the problem.

function my_hidden_activities($a, $activities) {
	//if admin we want to know
	//if (is_site_admin())
		//return $activities;

	$nothanks = array('activity_comment');

	foreach ($activities->activities as $key => $activity) {
		if (in_array($activity->type, $nothanks, true)) {
			unset($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', 'my_hidden_activities', 1, 2 );

The above code causes this problem. The code is attempting to hide comments from appearing as their own activity stream items. Any suggestions on how I can hide comments from appear anywhere except for in the thread they are nested in?

Solution: credit to @lincme on the post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/filtering-out-activity-stream-stuff/

// Remove (hide) various activities from streams.
function my_hidden_activities($a, $activities) {
	//if admin we want to know
	//if (is_site_admin())
		//return $activities;

	$nothanks = array('activity_comment');

	foreach ($activities->activities as $key => $activity) {
		if (in_array($activity->type, $nothanks, true)) {
			unset($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', 'my_hidden_activities', 10, 2 );

I did find a plugin now that correct this easy.
Global admin bar hide or remove

Thank you anyway

Best Regards

Would it be something similar to also hide Administrators from the members list?

Just thought I’d update for anyone else with a similar problem. It has turned out that my Possible Solution #1 above has solved this for me completely. It does behave differently for Administrators (as it should) which caused me some confusion.

Other Plugins I would recommend people look at if they have similar needs to mine:
Theme My Login by Jeff Farthing: integrates user login screens into you Wordpres site/theme.
Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/
Website: http://www.jfarthing.com/extend/wordpress-plugins/theme-my-login/

Global Hide/Remove Admin Bar Plugin bye Don Fischer: hides the WordPress Toolbar/admin bar
Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove/
Website: http://www.fischercreativemedia.com/plugins/global-hideremove-toolbar-plugin//

Finally bbPress WP Tweaks: so popular I’m not going to leave links.

All these plugins are essential to my gaming clan site: http://ducesoforion.com

@megainfo
Thanks for answer.
Is there any possibility then to hide a field to members ?
And I wonder why the DB field value is called “adminsonly”and not as expected “memberonly” or “onlyme” ???

With the new update of wordpress, i found out that this has nothing to do with BuddyPress or any theme, it is a bug in wordpress itself. The have tried to fix it, but its still not working well, the menu fills the screen and cannot be scrolled or hidden. I recommend hiding all buddypress menus until the bug gets fixed:

/* =Hide BuddyPress sub menu until it works in mobile phones
————————————————————– */
#wpadminbar .quicklinks .menupop ul.ab-sub-secondary {
display: none !important;
}

Ok I’ll have a look and test each option. My preference is to hide both the admin bar and dashboard (as I would think most people would want to), but I will look at those plugins.

Going forwards I would suggest a lot of people would be happier with BP if normal users could run through all functions with ever seeing the admin bar or dashboard.

Thanks,
Paul.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks again Matt, I’ll have a look tomorrow. My previous point is the BP doesn’t work ‘out the box’ when you move onto mobile/tablet. Something of a failing.

Thanks,
Paul.
