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.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense.

Go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings, and look at the setting for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?:” Does it say Yes? Try switching it to No.

I’m guessing that users are not being added automatically to the BP root blog (a situation which would have been irrelevant in non-MS mode). It’s possible that either the setting I mention above, or something about the way that WP eMember handles membership in an MS network, is interfering with the way that the admin bar is conditionally displayed.

You could always edit the template files for /members/single/ (in a child theme) and wrap default actions in something like :

`if( ‘1’ == bp_displayed_user_id() )`

As a check for the displayed user being ‘1’ or primary network super_admin then you’ll do stuff based on that such as unique markup for that user alone or use in a ‘if not’ manner to hide certain profile display elements.

That’s a basic approach you could extend that to be more flexible by checking a users role bp_displayed_user() checked against WP roles and capabilities for that user.

@dmanthony : cool. not sure that I ‘ve understood where I should enter 99 to hide admin … ? merci

also, from @sbrajesh, an alternative to the the Stealth Mode for Super Admins – Put this code in bp-custom.php and None of the site admin activity will be recorded nor will you appear in the Who is Online/ recently active members widget. –

`add_action(“plugins_loaded”,”bpdev_init_sm_mode”);
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}`

when admin post on wordpress, post also appeared on BuddyPress activity, as admin’s activity.

how to prevent it? how to hide admin activity?

Try this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

If you are doing a research about (display:none), no one said it’s not the best way to use it. There is a purpose for using (display:none) to hide and it does not remove it.
