hi @masoud1111,

all i found was how to hide that button, or remove it.
but not show it only on some profiles

You just need to add some conditionnals.

Try this (in bp-custom.php) and give feed back if it works.

function bpex_private_message_button( $button ) {
$user = bp_loggedin_user_id();

    if ( is_super_admin() ) { 
		return $button;
	}

	if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {

		if ( $role == 'subscriber' || $role == 'contributor' || $role == 'author' || $role == 'editor' )  {
			// hide button for these roles
			$button = '';
		}
	}

	// allow the button to appear on admin's profile only
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) && bp_is_user() )  {	
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();	
		// assuming admin's ID is 1
		if ( $user_id == 1 ) {
			return $button;
		}

	}

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'bpex_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

The function is working correctly on my install.

Perhaps you have an issue with quotes, ie after copy/pasting the snippet from a topic where the code whas inserted without using the code button.
Which software do you use to publish bp-custom ?

Copy/paste following and give a try:

function buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin() {

if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() ) {
//should we add a message too?
//bp_core_add_message( 'Private page.', 'error' );
bp_core_redirect( site_url('/') );
}
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin' );

It relate to this filter bp_get_profile_field_data

This example will hide tabs and fields to all except admin

function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $retval ) {
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :	
	
	// hide profile group/field to all except admin	
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {		
		//exlude fields, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';  
		//exlude groups, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '3'; 			
	} 
	return $retval;		
	
	endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );

These tricks hide the tab content, not the tab itself. (it seems that it doesn’t work for groups at the moment…i asked devs for information) Use CSS display:none to hide the tab or consider this plugin.

I will be your savior,
for same rasons, wordpress decided not show admin bar like default in mobile.
It is so,maybe, because when user log in in mobile device, a lot of menu will be showed… really I dont know why…
But if you dont have this problem, and want show admin bar for log in an log out users, you must add in CSS the following codec:

@media screen and (max-width:782px) {
    #wpadminbar {
        display:block;
    }
    html {
        position:absolute;
        top:-46px;
    }
}

The codec where say html position absolute is for delete noise black bar located in the up side zone.
If you want, you can also show the notification icon (I think it is named budlle notification) into the admin mar, adding the following codec in CSS zone:

/* Show only default top level items */
	#wp-toolbar > ul > li {
    		display: block;
	}

I have gone mad to find the solution, but now we have it.
If you dont want show menu in admin bar to the suscriptors, colaborator and authors, you can use the AG CUSTOM ADMIN plugin. It hide them and help you in a clean design. (you can also hide wordpress logo, and so much things…)

Now, I have only a litlle / big problem:
the drop down menu, when I click in the “notification icon” in the admin bar, is not showed correctly… It is showed from the “notification icon” to the right zone, so in mobiles user can red the title of the notification.
The solution is show the dropdown menu from the “notification icon” to the left zone. So, also in mobiles users can red the title of the notification.
Can you help me for to make that?
I have helped you, now I hope someone can help me 😉
Thank for your support and have funny

Hi Earl,
Two things you can do:

1. Hide admin user from members list. This post has some answers:- https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-admin-from-members-and-activity/
2. Change the user_nicename field in users table in database, for the admin user.

I suggest going with the first option.

Please put this code in your bp-custom.php

function buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin() {

	if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() ) {
		//should we add a message too?
		//bp_core_add_message( 'Private page.', 'error' );
		bp_core_redirect( site_url('/') );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin' );

That should do it. Hoe it helps.

@fearthemoose, @rezbiz,

Here “the best guarded secret” finally revealed !
But it’s not a secret, is part of Codex and a multi handled topic subject on this forum.

What we want to do: remove access possibility.
Where: on BuddyBar navigation menu (the one below the profile header).
Specifics: make the activity and forum tabs only visible to the logged in user.

NOTE: The activity tab is shown by default when you visit a profile.

As we are going to hide/remove this tab to visitors, we need to define as first another default tab. If we won’t do that, the visitor will get a Page not found error. Which is not exactly the case here, the page exist but the visitor can’t access it.

Let’s define arbitrary Profile as the new default tab. You can of course define what ever other existing tab on your BuddyBar as default.

Add this line to bp-custom.php
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT','profile' );

Now the mega “open secret” !

The folowing snippet contains almost any BP menu items you can have on a BuddyBar, and includes also the Forum item, in case you use bbPress.
You can remove or comment out those you don’t want to use.
Note also that it is only an example – you have to play with it to fit your need. But at least you have the right syntax to use.
Note also that some profile menu items are user only, such as message or notice. In other words, these are always private.

This function goes preferably to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;
	 /**
	 * class_exists() & bp_is_active are recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Component is deactivated
	 */

	if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) || bp_is_active ( 'groups' ) ) :
        
        /** here we fix the conditions. 
        * Are we on a profile page ? | is user site admin ? | is user logged in ?
        */
	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !is_user_logged_in() ) {

        /* and here we remove our stuff ! */
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

Some other hints for privacy
if you want to allow only the profile owner to view some tabs, replace
!is_user_logged_in by !bp_is_my_profile() – this scenario doesn’t need a check for logged in users as it is made by bp_is_my_profile.

If you want only to make a profile private, read here.

If you want to remove a sub-nav item (ie. View on Profile), you use something like:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'view' );

Many other possibilities for navigation are also available, including for groups. Several examples are given on Codex, here.

And if not enough, RTFM and search the forum ! 🙂

Have fun !

If you are on latest version of buddypress( > 2.6 ), the following code will work:

//hide setting nav in profile
function w24dr_remove_settings_nav() {
    $bp = buddypress();
    $bp->members->nav->delete_nav( bp_get_settings_slug() );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'w24dr_remove_settings_nav' );

//redirect settings to main profile page
function w24dr_redirect_settings_nav(){
    if( bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( bp_get_settings_slug() ) ){
        wp_redirect( bp_displayed_user_domain() );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'w24dr_redirect_settings_nav' );

But it still doesn’t remove ‘settings’ nav from adminbar. You need to work some more to remove it from there.

Hi,

you can try to remove the private message button from the template or hide it with CSS.
And add a custom one who leads to admin inbox.

The link should look like
http://your-site.com/members/YOU/messages/compose/?r=THE ADMIN&_wpnonce=an_alpha_numeric_value

See here how you may code this
