BuddyPress.org

removing the button from the groups index page alone will not stop your members from being able to create groups…

have you seen this…to limit group creation to admins

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/limit-group-creation-to-admin/

If you just want to hide the button…maybe something like

`<?php if (is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('administrator'))>
your button stuff
`

@igotmore There’s also this other plugin for that plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-ninja/

I tried your method, mercime, but I can’t get it to work, I only got the code on the top of my site

I put the code in my Theme functions (functions.php)
should i put it in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php or ?
I’m noob in codes & coding, but I really need this, so I hope someone will help me get it done

Hey Magi182 I put that code in my functions.php and still no changes ? any other way?

Using WP 3.2.1. & BP 1.5.1

this should work for excluding all super admins:

`

<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
if( !in_array( bp_get_member_user_login(), get_super_admins() ) ) {
?>`

i tried to remove Viisit Radom Member, Random Group And Random Site from BuddyBar successfully, Here is link for you how to make changes, edit BuudyBar.

Hope this will help.

You need to clarify more, you can just re enable the groups component in the admin. if the hide the create button try going to the URL /groups/create

OK so I’ve had the same problem and have built a very clumsy workaround.

PROBLEM: When the user click the email verification it sends them to verify.php and logs them in to WP but my Buddypress doesn’t know they are logged in and asks them to login. If the user just ignores the login request there is no problem but users don’t do that so they try to login and get the same “error..please provide a valid activation key” message because the account is already active.

MY RUBBISH ANSWER: The only thing that worked for me was to hide the BP admin bar and handle login links manually then change the text on the verify.php to a simple ‘congratulations, you’re in’ message. The downside of this is that I lost the use of my BP-Sliding-Login-Panel which I love. so I would be very grateful for a real solution to this.

define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true); + Hide admin bar for logged out users NO works

There is one problem with that solution, it does not hide the user from groups

The reason chaging the users status to 99 will hide them is because it marks the user as a spammer. Which means only an admin can view their profile. However, thus far it has been the only way I have been able to accomplish the task of hiding the administrator.

There is a ‘hide admin bar for logged out users’ option. But I want the bar on regular BP sites, I just did not want it on a domain-mapped site that is totally separate (though running on the same WP multisite installation).

http://blog.netweblogic.com/php/wordpress-php/remove-admin-bar-plugin/ did the trick for me.

Maybe this can help ?

also remember that privacy controls don’t apply to Admin. Admin can see everything. Log in as a regular user and then test.

thanks for the reply @pcwriter

If you don’t mind I need a little more assistance with this (as I’m not code savvy)

how do I find this ‘child-theme’ you mention
do I go to cpanel..? or in my admin (dashboard)

Also, I do not want to restrict ‘members’ viewing, only their ‘profiles’

Excellent piece of information! Could prove to be really useful for me as well to hide administrators.

Hello everyone,

Add the codes below to your theme’s function.php file :

add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘adminbarhide’);
function adminbarhide() {
define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true);
}

then go to wp-content/your-theme-directory/_inc/css/adminbar.css and change “padding-top: 25px” on second line to “padding-top: 0px” ,
this code will remove admin bar only from your dashboard, and css code will hide white space after removing admin bar.

after all I’m sorry about my bad English if there was some wrong spelling.

There’s a plugin for this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

It’s an older plugin and the developer is now busy with other projects, so you’ll need to update the plugin manually so the admin menu will show up in WP.

Read this tutorial:
http://code.ipstenu.org/2011/wordpress-3-1-network-menu/

(Edit) Just read the full post, you want to hide it from group feeds only? Or throughout the site? If throughout the site, the plugin will do the job. If only on group feeds, you can take the basic premise from the plugin, then you’ll need to do a conditional to check if you’re in a BP feed.

For those still looking for a solution to this, you can add the following code to the functions.php file of your active theme. The username gets replaced with the username you wish to hide. Alternatively, you could substitute the stuff in the parens of the conditional with a properly done current_user_can() statement to hide all the administrators.

`
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

if( $current_user->user_login == ‘username’ ) {
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”);
}
`

i am using bp role manager to create roles for users in wordpress.
now i want to that only user with specific role should be approved by admin through BuddyPress Registration Options plugin it is now used for every type of users registered.
how can i do this plz suggest.

Not necessarily an easy fix with so little info to go on. Default is to show the adminbar all the time so setting ‘yes’ to hide it for logged out users isn’t going to change things for logged in users.

Usual questions must be asked now: Are you running a custom theme? If so then can you revert to bp-default and see how that performs.

== All I want to do is to hide the “Dashboard” button ==

Know that the “Dashboard” link in adminbar appears for logged-in users who have a role greater than Subscriber on your blog. If you still want to do this then if you don’t have one yet, create a bp-custom.php file, add the code below and upload to wp-content/plugins folder:
`<?php
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_thisblog_menu’, 6 );
?>`

== have Notifications and buttons like “Edit Profile” etc [in adminbar] ==

Notifications link and “Edit Profile” buttons are already in adminbar for logged-in-users.

if you simply want to hide Admin bar login and sign up, just add

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

to your functions.php and login and sign up will go away

Hmm unfortunately, that still did not work. Thanks for all your help thus far guys. Here is how my problem originated:

I recently transferred my site from the default ”/wordpress/” sub directory to my root directory. Everything works fine in BuddyPress except for the LOGOUT and LOGIN menu options from the BuddyPress menu bar (up at the top).

Upon looking at the URL that the logout and login tries to redirect to (in the tag), it still thinks it is in the ”/wordpress” subdirectory and the thus results in a Error 404 – Page Not Found problem.

I’ve search various ways to do this but people have either not have found a solution or seem to not have posted it. I originally thought I could just use the ‘Add All Nav Links to Admin Bar’ plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/) and hide the Login and Sign Up options but unfortunately the “Log Out” still remains since it is under the ‘My Account’.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
