404 on Manage groups page

I am attempting to hide the “Delete Group” sub nav item in Groups >> Manage, using the following code in bp-custom.php

if(!current_user_can(‘administrator’)){
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug() . ‘_manage’, ‘delete-group’ );

}}

This does delete the item. However it has an unusual side-effect I don’t understand:

groups/test/admin/ brings up a 404 error (without the code above, this brings up the Manage >> Details tab)
groups/test/admin/edit-details still works after I type it in manually.

How can I fix this?

I have a fresh WP and BP install. Twenty-Sixteen theme.

Just a thought, have you considered a CSS solution?
```
.tab {
    display: none;
}
```

I did but I want to check for a specific user role beforehand.

In that case you could embed some CSS into the <head> section using the wp_head hook.

Would that work if I wanted to check the user was an editor and NOT an administrator?

Cracked it. Need to call bp_core_load_template after removing the navigation item.

Final code:

if(!current_user_can(‘administrator’)){
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug() . ‘_manage’, ‘delete-group’ );
bp_core_load_template( ‘groups/single/settings/general’ );
}
}

display: none; wasn’t the best solution. Glad you found a better way 🙂
