BuddyPress.org

If you have a bp-default child theme, copy group-header.php file.into your child theme folder as in wp-content/themes/yourchildtheme/groups/single/group-header.php
then delete lines 11-15 of said file. If you also want to delete Group Mods, then delete lines 7-30

@ahkar83 just go to wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Settings – Main Settings – Toolbar – uncheck “Show the admin bar for logged out users”

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project and my client wants only the admins to be able to create groups, so I set that option in the BuddyPress admin area, easy peasy. But, the Create A Group button still appears on the front end. For now I am simply looking for a way to hide that button, and I’ve added the CSS @Mike Pratt suggested but the button remains. Any ideas?

What would be really cool (not that I have a clue how to do this) would be:

1.) BP functionality that automagically removes the Create A Group button when you select that only admins can create groups, that would be ideal.
or
2.) A way to change the URL of the Create A Group button for the members level, so you could create a Request A Group page with a form that a member can fill out requesting a group. That is what I’d like to do, but I’m at a loss for where to start in the code, and I’m not much of a PHP dev.

Are you referring to the tabs within groups (admin, topics, etc.)?

If so, the quick and dirty way to hide them is via CSS.

As for search bar…a website said
From what I could find you can’t actually remove that search box. You can however, hide it with a bit of CSS.
Add this to your functions.php or a custom plugin;
`function hide_admin_bar_search () {
echo ‘
#adminbarsearch {
display: none;
}
‘;
}
add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘hide_admin_bar_search’);
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘hide_admin_bar_search’);`

Best place for this is https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org — post it as an enhancement ticket. Thanks.

No such thing sadly; you could ensure the fields are in a specific group of their own and then wrap that in a if is_admin check so only admins can read, if you are creating a theme for general use and wouldn’t know the field names then you may need to write a function of some description with dashboard option settings to manage things or check what BP plugins are available in the ‘privacy’ genre and see if they offer any greater control.

You’ll need to do something like wrap the custom xprofile loop section in a check for a specific field name ‘birthdate’ and do something like ‘if not’ ‘birthdate’ go ahead and display field item or display if is_admin if you want to be able to see users data as a site admin.

To remove a field you could do:
`

<tr>

`
in the profile loop; equally if you wanted to remove a complete field group you can copy the approach seen in the file for ensuring that the base group is not shown `if ( 1 != bp_get_the_profile_group_id() ) ` adding an OR followed by a check on the group id to hide.

On Buddypress > Settings select No for Hide admin bar for logged out users?

hope that helps.

You mean you don’t want the Admin to be included in the list of members in members directory?

Hey @davidveldt this should do it if you are using the default theme. Otherwise you should integrate as you see fit.

theme/registration/register.php

You can add any groups or fields as you require. The groups and fields here are arbitrary.

` ‘player’, 4 => ‘coach’, 5 =>’parent’, 6 => ‘instructor’); ?>

`

Create some profile groups to cater for each role. You can find the group id within the BuddyPress admin… In the url bar or investigate your database.

You should set-up the $roles array above to match your requirements.

Within the loop you can show any fields you have created within that xprofile group. If you have a select box within that group you would add the following code as outlined in the bp-default register.php

`

<label for="”>

<select name="” id=””>

`

Finally add the following jQuery where you house any other code of similar ilk.

`
jQuery(“.role-fields”).hide();
$roles = jQuery(“#roles”);
jQuery(“#field_2”).change(function()
{
$role = jQuery(this).val().toLowerCase();
jQuery(“.role-fields”).hide();
jQuery(“#” + $role).toggle();
});
`

Here’s a pastebin for all that above. http://pastebin.com/QFdTdstz

No need for tabs or accordion this time.

Hope that helps you on the Road.

anyone found a solution to this having same issue of users being considered blog owner in buddypress multisite setup. admin bar says my sites
mainsite.com
actuallsite.com -> user registered

Mainsite does not belong to user how i get rid of link on bar and profile as it does this for all users.

Just read you don’t want to edit home.php. There isn’t a filter for privacy like there is with messages for showing profile sections. Messages and xprofile fields has logic for output and can be filtered but the actual page needs a code edit.

Install BuddyPress Profile Privacy plugin
