Did you try just removing the calls to the nav from the template ?

Since you mention ‘Member primary navigation’, I’ll assume you are working the bp-legacy templates.

Open buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php
Remove: bp_get_displayed_user_nav();
And perhaps: do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' );

Needs more debugging, please try just after or before <?php bp_get_displayed_user_nav(); ?>

Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to edit the home.php file. You’ll need to comment out bp_get_displayed_user_nav() and the related markup.

Ref: your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/home.php

When you have such basic question, please search first the forum and read the documentation.

Hi @nabilyazghi,

You could perhaps use something like this:

function blabla() {
     if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) 
	$nav_array = 'what_you_need';

     return $nav_array;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav', 'blabla', 10, 1 );

Function ref: http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/2.4.3/functions/bp_get_displayed_user_nav/

For standard BP profile tabs, try:

function zhubr_remove_profile_nav_item( $nav ) { 
	
    if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() )
	$nav = '';
		
    return $nav;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_notifications', 'zhubr_remove_profile_nav_item', 20, 1 );
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_groups', 'zhubr_remove_profile_nav_item', 20, 1 );
// add additional calls for other tabs

To remove custom tabs, try:

function zhubr_remove_custom_profile_tab() {
	
    if ( bp_is_user() && ! bp_is_my_profile() )
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'events' );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'zhubr_remove_custom_profile_tab', 25 );

Untested, but try:

function jake_nav_remove($nav_array) { 
	
    if( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {

         $roles = wp_get_current_user()->roles;

         if (in_array('Supporter', $roles)) 
             $nav_array = '';
    }

    return $nav_array;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_activity', 'jake_nav_remove', 10, 1 );
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_profile', 'jake_nav_remove', 10, 1 );

However – removing these tabs can create problems – ‘profile’ is the default tab ( and therefore screen ) for member pages. You’ll need to decide on which tab should be default, since you may remove profile and activity.

@quinngoldwin

it goes to my personal activity instead.

It’s intended so ! You’re on a profile page, and any links added directly to buddybar or his subnav is alwways, and only, user related. It’s a contextual menu.

But you can use bp_member_options_nav action hook which is on the template.
bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php your your child theme functions.php:

function goldwin_custom_setup_nav() {
  if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
?>
<li><a href="<?php bp_activity_directory_permalink(); ?>"><?php printf ('All Activities'); ?></a></li>
<?php  
}
add_action( 'bp_member_options_nav', 'goldwin_custom_setup_nav' );

By default, the hook is placed as latest item of the navbar items. To get as first item, simply move the action at the begin of the list.

Default code looks like this:

<ul>

<?php bp_get_displayed_user_nav(); ?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' ); ?>

</ul>

that you can chage to:

<ul>

<?php do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' ); ?>

<?php bp_get_displayed_user_nav(); ?>

</ul>

But you can’t get your custom item as second, or third, or whatever. Only first or latest.

How to use bp-custom, functions.php and child_theme is explained on the codex.

‘Activity’ is the default tab.
If you want to remove it, you need to change the default tab.

Change Default Members Profile Landing Tab

define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

function klosurdo_remove_member_nav($nav_array) { 
	
	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) 
		$nav_array = '';
		
	return $nav_array;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_activity', 'klosurdo_remove_member_nav', 15, 1 );

What plugin are you using to enable ‘followers’ ?
What version of BP are you using?

You could try this:

function addy_remove_profile_nav($nav_array) {

     if( is_super_admin() ) 
          return $nav_array;

     if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() )
	$nav_array = '';

     return $nav_array;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_followers', 'addy_remove_profile_nav', 10, 1 );

You’re looking at the templates that render the content for tabs.
But you want to remove tabs.
Because ‘groups’ may be the only tab available, you need to make ‘groups’ the default component.
You may need to add or remove one or more add_filter calls depending on your installation.
Try this in your bp-custom.php file:

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'groups' );

function izzy_adjust_profile_nav() {
  if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
	add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_activity', 'izzy_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );
	add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_friends', 'izzy_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );
	add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_forums', 'izzy_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );	
	add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_xprofile', 'izzy_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );	
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'izzy_adjust_profile_nav' );

function izzy_profile_nav_remove($nav_array) { 
  $nav_array = '';
  return $nav_array;
}

Links are added either by a plugin or by hooking into that menu.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav/ is quite a useful thread on adding to menus.

As for deleting the sidebar, that would need a link to see your theme before saying if something was going to work or not.
