First Name Visibility Only Me

I’m using BuddyPress Extended Profiles. For all fields I have the option of Visibility except First Name. It is very important to many of my members to not have others see their first name.

How do I add Visibility option of “Only Me” for First Name please.

Hi @ma3ry,

it’s impossible !

But there is an all or nothing trick. You can apply a CSS rule.
Try to add this to your child-theme style.css
```
tr.field_1 {
 display: none!important;
}
```

This is a perfect solution. Thank you!

Now, just one more thing. It says “This field can be seen by: All Members”

How do I change that to “Only Me”?

Sorry, no, it’s not a perfect solution, just a workaround. Best practice would be to use what is explained here.

As said previously you cannot change the Name field, and to exclude or modify his description you can’t even (so far i know) modify the default view level (All) for that field.

So you have to use another CSS trick and perhaps add an “only me” message to the Name field description.
```
#field-visibility-settings-toggle-1 {
display:none!important;
}
```
