You’re welcome. 😉
In case of, here’s another trick.

hi @fencer04,

thank for sharing your work. Well done, but it needs some revision (sorry).
At his activation on 2 test sites (one with 4.5.3/bp 2.6.1, other 4.6/bp2.6.2) i got a notice.
Array to string conversion in buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-core-nav.php on line 279from

sbpp04_privacy_check( )	..\plugin.php:525
sbpp04_privacy_redirect( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:176
bp_core_remove_nav_item( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:184
BP_Core_Nav->delete_nav( )	..\bp-core-buddybar.php:798

Another point concerning UI/UX is the Private button appearing on buddybar.
On this tab, a default message says Friends Only.
USERNAME has chosen to limit profile access to friends only.
That’s wrong! Because this appear on each profile, even if the owner hasn’t setup anything about his profile privacy.

So far i understand its fonctionality, this plugin let each member decide to show or not his whole profile page to friends or members only or to everyone (bp default).

– imo this tab should show “This profile is private” to anybody who is concerned by a privacy setting and should not appear at all if “Everyone” is set.
– the original BP Add as friend button on profile header or members directory is still there. This means that there is no need to go on Private tab to ask forfriendship.
This is a little confusing !

If the plugin is to extend profile settings, it should appear in profile settings only. And as it doesn’t superseed BP, there is no real reason to give him an extra tab on buddybar outside of the settings scope. A template notice could be enough to tell visitors what’s going on on such a profile.

Just my 2 cents.

Try this:

function mohammad_remove_private_message_button( $button ) {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();

    if ( $user_id == '37' ) // the user ID
	$button = '';

     return $button;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'mohammad_remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

[Resolved] how hide tab only for user? not remove/disable

I tested your code and got first a page not found error while trying to send a private message from the new position.
I deactivated both action hook in cover and home files.
Disallowed cover image option. And tested again and everithing worked.
Allowed cover image and worked also.

So i confirm that your code works and all buttons show up (with active href’s), at least with Twenty Sixteen theme, at the members profile page bottom.

In resume, the only thing you have to do is to deactivate the original action hook in both files (so you can allow/disallow cover images).

Forgot to mention that there is a litle error in your code line 133
<?= wpautop(xprofile_get_field_data("About me", bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>

Should be
<?php wpautop(xprofile_get_field_data("About me", bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>

Re private message button, try:

function masoud_remove_private_message_button( $button ) {

     if ( ! is_super_admin() )
	$button = '';

     return $button;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'masoud_remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );

I agree that there should be some indication or disabling when the button is clicked.

You can open an enhancement ticket here – use the same user & pw you use for these forums.

There is a plugin that will disable the button when sending public and private messages.

You can get it here:

afaik, there are no plugins.
But it’s a simple filter.

Have the same problem: new wp install 442 + buddypress 2.5.8, first on theme 2016, then theme quest, both all the links in profile but no “add friend” button,
in bp settings all functions are enabled,
sending private messages works fine,
group owner invite people works, too

changing theme didn’t help.
Has anyone pls a suggestion?
