Here’s how to remove forums from all users profile tabs and toolbar menu, this code would need to go in your child-themes functions.php:

function venutius_remove_forums_on_usermenu() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	if ( bp_use_wp_admin_bar() ) {
		$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'my-account-forums' );
	}

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'venutius_remove_forums_on_usermenu' );

function venutius_remove_profile_forums_tab() {

	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'venutius_remove_profile_forums_tab' );

I can’t find bp_activity_setup_nav in the current codebase. Hooking to bp_init instead should work.

bp_core_remove_nav_item() will delete an item from the primary navigation of the specified component.

bp_core_remove_subnav_item() will delete an item from the secondary navigation of the specified component.

Hope this helps.

First sub nav points to the primary tab for all core tabs

To remove sub nav you can use the following approach, but it will not work for first sub nav like the view

// remove nav forums and coures 
function bb_remove_extra_tab() { 
     global $bp;      
bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );   
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'edit' );
} 
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bb_remove_extra_tab', 999 );

It was some code in a plugin that was deprecated. The solution was to replace with this:

function bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘notifications’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab’ );

I’m note sure how your custom roles were created, so I can’t tell you how to figure out if the current user is one or the other, but basically, you’ll be using code like this:

function bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role() {
  $role = 'owner;
  if ( 'owner' == $role ) {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' );
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role' );

note that this will not work as is–you need to be able to get the current user’s role, dependent on how you’re doing that. However, the simpler answer is that if you’re not using the friends and messages components, just turn them off in the BuddyPress settings in wp-admin.

Hi @katmacau-

Here are some examples for changing navigation menus using the new API:

Navigation API

This is what I’m guessing you’ll want to use:

function bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab() {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab' );

One question though: if you’re not using the notifications, why not just turn off the notifications component in the BuddyPress settings screen in wp-admin?
