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

@christophG

You can do this with the s2member plugin. In the “API/Scripting” section, you’ll find some advanced conditionals that can be added in your theme templates, or included in a custom function. If you’re using s2member, you could try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file… should work anyway

`function remove_member_profile_nav() {
if (!current_user_can(‘access_s2member_level1’)) {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘profile’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_member_profile_nav’, 15 );`

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

`function ray_bp_remove_settings() {
global $bp;

// removing the existing settings tab
bp_core_remove_nav_item( $bp->settings->slug );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘ray_bp_remove_settings’, 0 );

function ray_bp_readd_settings() {
global $bp;

// add a new settings tab to use notifications as default tab
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __(‘Settings’, ‘buddypress’), ‘slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, ‘position’ => 100, ‘show_for_displayed_user’ => false, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_notification_settings’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘notifications’ ) );

// bug in bp_core_remove_subnav_item(), we have to hack the screen function so it displays the notifications screen when you land on /settings/
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->settings->slug && $bp->current_action == ‘general’ )
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_notification_settings’, 3 );

// add back the subnav notifications tab
$settings_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->settings->slug . ‘/’;

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Notifications’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘notifications’, ‘parent_url’ => $settings_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_notification_settings’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘ray_bp_readd_settings’ );`

Tested lightly. Encountered a few bugs, but this will work…

Hi,
The private updates on group should not be visible to anyone other than the profile owner. It means something is wrong, you should check other plugins.
btw, yes, you can remove the activity section from profile. put the following code in your theme’s functions.php

`
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->activity->id);
`
But this will make the profile inaccessible, as activity is set as the default profile component. so you may want to put the following code in bp-custom.php
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
hope that helps.

I’m bumping this because the @-mention above didn’t work, apparently.

@boonebgorges,

for some reason, your suggested solution doesn’t work. I suppose it has to do with the hook, but using bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’) doesn’t work at ‘bp_setup_nav’, while it does work at the point @mariochampion suggested.

Here’s a problem, though, in my installation, when I remove the nav link, I am no longer able to access group pages. I can access the group directory and groups will be displayed there, but clicking on a group will take me to the front page. Is this a bug? It seems like it, since the function is supposed to only remove the navigation item, not access to the feature, am I right? Or am I not getting something? Is there a better way to remove the navigation item?

Hmm. Is this the intended effect? I removed the “groups” element from the navigation bar on the profile using the bp_core_remove_nav_item-function, but after doing that I was no longer able to access any group and after directly entering the group’s URL I will be redirected to the homepage. Is there any way to remove items from the *navigation* but keep them available for direct access? Bizarrely, I am able to display the groups directory page when the bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’)-function is active, but not individual group homepages. Clicking on a group name will take me to the homepage.

Are there other options for menu item removal?

Thanks!

@Boone Gorges,

using bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ ) at bp_setup_nav didn’t work for me. But putting it in mariochampions function right after “global $bp” did – any idea why?

@mariochampion,

sorry, but I’m new to BP, and I can’t find the xprofile-settings.php you’re referring to above – could you give me a hand? Could you also indicate where you changed the slugs in the copied file?

Thanks!

@blogmudgeon Glad to help

@ri-kun bp_core_remove_nav_item doesn’t take multiple arguments. Try something like:
`<?php function boone_remove_blogs_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘groups’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_remove_blogs_nav’, 15 ); ?>`

Add additional lines for nav items you want to remove. And make them lowercase, as the names might be case-sensitive and they are almost certainly lowercase when they are initially added.

functions.php, in your theme directory, is the appropriate place to put this. There should be no function called bp-functions.php.

The following function, placed into your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file, will remove the Blogs nav item from the Members section of the site:
`function boone_remove_blogs_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_remove_blogs_nav’, 15 );`

Other top-level nav items can be removed by replacing ‘blogs’ with the appropriate name. Subnav items will work in a similar way, except using `bp_core_remove_subnav_item` and the extra $parent_id argument:
`function boone_remove_friends_activity_nav() {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘activity’, ‘friends’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_remove_friends_activity_nav’, 15 );`

Sorry to say, a lot of us on the end publishing equation are not programmers… I used EngineSite to find the string, but have no clue as to where the parent ID for the menu item is to be found. even then, is it simply a matter of entering that ID into the argument?

‘/**
* bp_core_remove_nav_item()
*
* Removes a navigation item from the sub navigation array used in BuddyPress themes.
*
* @package BuddyPress Core
* @param $parent_id The id of the parent navigation item.
* @param $slug The slug of the sub navigation item.
*/
function bp_core_remove_nav_item( $parent_id ) {
global $bp;

/* Unset subnav items for this nav item */
if ( is_array( $bp->bp_options_nav[$parent_id] ) ) {
foreach( (array)$bp->bp_options_nav[$parent_id] as $subnav_item ) {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $parent_id, $subnav_item );
}
}

unset( $bp->bp_nav[$parent_id] );’

Thanks!

Roger’s right – bp_core_remove_nav_item() is the function you want. See bp-core.php to see how that function works.

Also, please don’t bump your question more than once every few days. This board is not so well-trafficked that you can expect an answer to every question within a few hours, especially on the weekend.

You could look at adding a filter on: bp_get_displayed_user_nav_ . $user_nav_item to remove the blog menu.

Or, take a look at these functions in bp-core.php:

function bp_core_new_nav_item( $args = ” )
function bp_core_remove_nav_item( $parent_id )

Try putting this in your plugins/bp-custom.php file:

if ( bp_blogs_total_blogs_for_user() == 0 )
bp_core_remove_nav_item( $bp->blogs->slug );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'remove_blogs_nav_for_zero', 11 );


Don’t dig around in the array, use

bp_core_remove_nav_item() and bp_core_remove_subnav_item()

Hi,

Tim was 99% right – you just need to hook it into “plugins_loaded”. That’s it. This one works for me:

function remove_navitems()

{

bp_core_remove_nav_item('blogs');

}

add_action('plugins_loaded', 'remove_navitems');

Cheers

This is being handled with functions like these:

bp_core_new_nav_item

bp_core_new_subnav_item

bp_core_remove_nav_item

bp_core_remove_subnav_item

All of these functions (and a lot more) can be found in buddypress/bp-core.php. They are well documented and you can always have a look at the various core component how they use these functions.

To the admin bar you can add links like so:

function sv_add_link()

{

global $bp;



$link = '<li><a href="'. $bp->loggedin_user->domain . 'my-page" title="'. __( 'My Page') .'">'. __( 'My Page') .'</a></li>';

echo $link;

}

}

add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'sv_add_link' );

Removing links also works with actions. Using the example from above you’d have to put this into your functions.php file:

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'sv_add_link' )

You have to remove an action at the same priority as it has been added, so if you find an add_action call like this:

add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'sv_add_link' , 7 );

you’d have to remove it with this:

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'sv_add_link' , 7 );

Otherwise it won’t work.

Hope this helps you along a bit.

Hi –

I wanted to do something similar – remove ‘Edit Profile’ from the MY PROFILE nav section.

I tried using this code in bp-custom.php:

function remove_navitems()

{

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘profile_edit’);

}

add_action(‘bp_core_setup_nav’, ‘remove_navitems’);

That didn’t work.

As you can see, I was just totally guessing as to the exact name of the nav item. I have no idea where to find it, or what file to examine to find the correct nav item to reference. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

I believe you can put it in /plugins/bp-custom.php (create the file if it doesn’t exist already). This is rough code, but I’m assuming you’ll want to do it like this:

function remove_navitems()

{

bp_core_remove_nav_item('blogs');

}



add_action('bp_core_setup_nav', 'remove_navitems');

At a first glance, that is what I’d try. Not sure if it’ll work, but that should get you going in the right direction.

There’s also a function you could probably use via a hook:

bp_core_remove_nav_item($name)

Replace $name with the name of the nav item you want removed.
