hi @kostas-gogas,

try this:
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘friends’ ); // bp topnav
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘activity’, ‘friends’ ); //bp subnav (my activities, my groups, etc)
add_action( ‘bp_ready’,’your function’);

action hook bp-core-dependency.php:104
Fire the ‘bp_ready’ action, which runs after BP is set up and the page is about to render.

Hi @dmccuiston,

here is another solution which let you remove easily nav and subnav items to any visitor and users who are not friends.

If one or all items are removed, a message is displayed.

Put these 3 functions in bp-custom.php or child-theme functions.php

function bpfr_view_profile_msg() {
	// msg in case the nav item is removed
	if ( bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc( $retval ) )  
	echo'<h3>Sorry, you can only view the profile of your friends !</h3>';	
}	
add_action( 'template_notices','bpfr_view_profile_msg' );

function bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc() {
	$retval = false;
	// condition 
	if ( bp_is_user() && ! bp_is_my_profile() && ! friends_check_friendship( bp_displayed_user_id(), bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) {
		$retval = true;
	}	
	return $retval;
}

function bpfr_hide_friends_nav_to_non_friends() {	
	// stop if condition is not ok
	if ( ! bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc() ) {
		return;
	}
	// otherwise we remove the nav items
	// bp topnav items
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' ); 
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
	
	//bp subnav items
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'friends' ); 
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' ); 
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_hide_friends_nav_to_non_friends' );

here’s some clues:

First you need to check the user’s role/capabilities and then remove the navigation menu for these users. For me, I used:

if (current_user_can('none_admin_role')){bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications');}}
add_action( 'wp', 'bp_remove_nav_item' );

You then still need to remove it from the admin bar. My code:

function my_remove_admin_menu(){
	global $wp_admin_bar;

	if (current_user_can('none_admin_role'))
	{
		$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('notifications');
	}
}
add_action('bp_setup_admin_bar', 'my_remove_admin_menu',301);

hopefully, this does the trick for you. I took me while to figure this out…goodluck.

Hi @sundev

Have you tried using bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'slug' )? There is also a function available in BP to remove sub-nav items bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'slug', 'subnav-slug' )

@catwomanbadkitty

function bphelp_remove_activity_from_profile(){
bp_core_remove_nav_item('activity');
}
add_action('bp_activity_setup_nav','bphelp_remove_activity_from_profile');

Hallo @sbrajesh !

I tried use code:

add_action(‘bp_friends_setup_nav’,'bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self’);

function bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self(){
if(bp_is_my_profile()|| is_super_admin())
return ;

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘friends’);

}

I copied and pasted the code into the ‘bp_custom.php’ file but it did not work for me.
I’m new to wordpress, html, php and css but I seem to find my way til now. Some advise please? I really need this option to work and I can’t find a plugin that cover this.

Kind regards,

If you guys mean the the sites from the navigation, then you can use the following code in either your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

function bpdev_remove_blogs_nav(){
    global $bp;

    bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->blogs->id);//

}
add_action('wp_loaded','bpdev_remove_blogs_nav');

Hope that helps.

I know this thread is 2 years old. But here’s my problem:

I would like to display different member profiles for different types of groups. I have 2 groups: faculty and contributor. More accurately i want to disable components like bp Links and group docs wiki for the faculty group; i settled for removing the links to such.

i thought the best approach would be to check if a member is of a certain group and then based on the conditional statement, remove the unnecessary tabs in the profile menu. If there is a better approach. Please lead the way:)

in my theme’s function.php:

`
if(groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug(‘faculty’))){

function setup_nav() {
global $bp;

// Remove a menu item
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘messages’ );

}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘setup_nav’, 1000 );
}
`

if i make the conditional statement truthy the appropriate tab is removed. If i stick the code in the if statement into something like header.php it works. BUT for some reason, together they do not.

Perhaps functions.php cannot reach such functions? I tried putting it into bp-custom.php, site just crashed.

Thank you for your time, any help would be appreciated 🙂

You Can put this code in your bp-custom.php and It will take care of your issue

`
add_action(‘bp_friends_setup_nav’,’bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self’);

function bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self(){
if(bp_is_my_profile()|| is_super_admin())
return ;

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘friends’);

}

`

hope that helps.

bp_core_remove_nav_item()

`function my_func_remove_xprofile_tabs(){
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘events’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_func_remove_xprofile_tabs’, 15 );`

@shemada – to do this properly, you need to use the bp_core_remove_nav_item() function.

Add a call to it in your theme’s functions.php file passing in the ID of the Events nav item.

If you Google on here for ‘remove_nav_item’ you should find plenty of previous threads / examples.

This is a great post but what about moving sub links to a new parent item, this kinda works but if I remove the parent item the function stops. in my themes functions.php

`function remove_blogs_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘invite-anyone’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_blogs_nav’, 15 );

function bp_add_create_group_subnav() {
global $bp;
$groups_link = ‘/groups-2/’;
$settings_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain ;

/* Add the subnav items to the groups nav item */
if (function_exists(‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’)) {
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Create Clan’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘create’,
‘parent_url’ => $groups_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_home’,
‘position’ => 40,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘home’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Settings’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘settings’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-settings’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-settings’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Privacy’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘privacy’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-privacy’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-privacy’ ) );

}
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_add_create_group_subnav’);
`
If I comment out :
`// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );`

The sub links are in the Profile item, and functional, but still link to each original man item.

thanks Boone you are a lot of help

add it in your function.php

function remove_group_home_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug(), ‘home’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_group_home_nav’ );

@nahummadrid – This is a known bug. Using bp_core_remove_nav_item() will remove access to those pages as well. Right now, I’d suggest hiding the nav item via CSS or by hacking the $bp global to remove the item.

`function boone_remove_groups_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘groups’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_remove_groups_nav’, 15 );
`
When I put in functions it doesn’t work at all. The only way i get this to work is putting it in the BP-Custom but then it cuts off all access to groups and forum subpages….can’t figure why
