BuddyPress.org

If you rename it now ( usually rename it/ wp-content/plugins1) that will hide access to the plugins from the admin portion of your site. You would then be able to get to your site’s admin panel. Once you log in and reach your admin panel, rename the plugins directory back to /wp-content/plugins.

The problem is most likely with the last plugin you activated.

Socialpreneur has a nice snippet here that makes it easy to hide the admin from the members list assuming you know the admin’s login name.

Place this in your bp-custom.php:


function my_bp_member_user_login() {
echo my_bp_get_member_user_login();
}
function my_bp_get_member_user_login() {
global $members_template;
return apply_filters( 'my_bp_get_member_user_login', $members_template->member->user_login );
}


Then in your members-loop.php file, place this just below the while statement (wrapped in php tags!):
if ( my_bp_get_member_user_login() == 'admin' ) continue ;

(Supposing your admin’s login is ‘admin’.)

I use a Profile Privacy plugin created by http://www.jfarthing.com/. Sadly, the link to the plugin in my dashboard comes up 404 in the wp repositorty, and I can’t seem to find reference to it on his site. That said, the plugin allows for you to manage who can see certain fields in the profile (everyone, friends, user). When profile fields are set to “user” only the user and the site admin can view the info. Perhaps an attempt to contact jfarthing will met results. Good luck.

You still want to keep blogs, but want to hide it from the navigation correct?

Use CSS!
li#blogs-personal-li, a#bp-admin-blogs {display:none;}

Terrific plugin! Using BuddyPress Links 0.4.1 (with BuddyPress 1.2.3, WPMU 2.9.2). Some feedback:

Frontend:

– When viewing a link in the Links tab, the A tag of the external link icon needs a target=”_blank”.

– Would be nice to have “Report Broken Link” and “Flag as Inappropriate” buttons for each link (or may be simply “Report” to save space, and it popups to “Report Broken Link” and “Flag as Inappropriate”). Then have that status show up in the Manage Links page as two additional columns. And also have a way of filtering and showing just broken or inappropriate links in the Manage Links report. And also have a way to clear status. Perhaps record user who reported the status (in case that user is falsely reporting and should be banned).

Backend:

– Instead of 3 entries in the BuddyPress dashboard menu (i.e.: BuddyPress Links / Manage Links / Edit Categories), have only one entry “Links”. Then divide the admin page into tabs: Settings, Links, Categories, Support, About.

– The “Search Links” box and the “Search Categories” box (on the Manage Links and Edit Categories pages, respectively) are not in the same vertical location. “Search Links” box is above the heading, “Search Categories” is below the heading.

– Disable the “Delete” buttons if no Links/Categories selected to delete.

– When doing a search (Search Links / Search Categories), add a “Show all Links” / “Show all Categories” button/link to clear the search criteria.

Manage Links page:

– Make all the A tags (Details / Owner / Edit) have target=”_blank”.

– Link the link avatar to the destination URL (with a target=”_blank”).

– If hover over a link avatar, show full size image in floating popup (like a tooltip).

Settings:

– Have a setting to enable/disable rel=”nofollow”.

– Have 3 checkbox settings to hide a link if it: (1) goes below a specified negative rating (e.g.: -10); (2) is flagged inappropriate a specified number of times; (3) reported broken a specified number of times. The link’s owner would still see the link but with a warning.

– Have a setting to specify what avatar to show if none specified. First radio box would be “default avatar”, following by radio boxes to select screen snapshot thumbnail from the various snapshot website services.

You probably already tried this tutorial:
http://www.michiknows.com/2007/02/12/who-else-wants-to-hide-their-wordpress-admin-folder/

The other technique is hacking WP core files:
http://www.socialblogr.com/2009/09/how-to-change-folder-name-on-wordpress.html

You could also try applying a filter to “admin_url”, but when I tried this awhile back, it didn’t work:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2584706/wordpress-where-the-admin-url-is-set

I should note that I’ve never done this and strongly advise you not to as well.

WP should have a defined WP_ADMIN_URL variable similar to WP_PLUGIN_URL and WP_CONTENT_URL, but it doesn’t.

Easiest way to remove favorites is to use CSS:
li#activity-favorites, li#activity-favs-personal-li, a#bp-admin-activity-favs, .activity-meta a.fav {display:none;}

This will hide all favorite buttons and tabs (I think).

Your second, third and fourth requests can be taken care of by making sure the groups are set as Private. That means that they don’t show up in public listings, and their contents are only visible to members of the group.

In order to make sure that people can only be part of a single group, you’ll want to hide the Send Invite screen for all users, or at least for non-admins. You could either do this through CSS, or by modifying/reproducing the functionality defined at bp-groups.php groups_setup_nav().

As for the first question, there are WP plugins that allow you to restrict membership to invited members. A ten-second Google search turned up this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/, for example. I imagine that this would work fine for BP as well. The most straightforward way to populate groups would then be for the admin to use a plugin like BP Group Management http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-group-management/, which allows admins to place people manually in groups, bypassing the invitation process.

i created wordpress multiuser project.when any user creates its own blog then they have admin dashboard with all options same as a main wordpress blog administrator’s dashboard…. i want to hide some option of new blog’s users dashboard…….plz help me……

hey @r-a-y no prob.
@scotm looking forward to hear if it works or not.

Yes, you’re right Paul!

BP 1.2.3 does provide is_site_admin() in the compat file, FWIW.

Hey @sbrajesh, you’re right! Sorry about that! Was thinking off the top

hi @r-a-y is_site_admin() and is_admin() are very different. is_admin() checks whether you are inside wordpress admin or not.
@scotm
How about making the activity of admin user private
`add_filter(“bp_activity_hide_sitewide_before_save”,”make_admin_activity_private”,10,2);
function make_admin_activity_private($hide_sitewide,$activity){
//get the current activity
if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’))//user is admin
return 1;
else
return $hide_sitewide;

}
`
Hopefully the code goes through this forum.

The snippet only works on WPMU.

If you’re using standard WP, replace is_site_admin() with if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) (thanks Brajesh).

Also, you could try adding the function in your theme’s functions.php (omit the add_action line).

@scotm – if you read the end of that post, there’s a free solution noted by Brajesh.

@DJPaul @scotm – I believe @sbrajesh did a plugin to hide admin stuff… let me see if I can find it:
