Hi there,

Wordpress Version 4.5.3
Buddypress Version 2.6.2
Site: http://freshink.ph

Is there a way to make the “Profile” tab only visible to account owners and admins?

Thanks!
Dennis

Hi @densyo,

– first, you check that xprofile component is active: if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
– then check you’re on a user page: bp_is_user()
– allow site admin: is_super_admin()
– check if the current page part of the profile belongs to logged-in user: bp_is_my_profile()

Example here:

Hi @danbp,

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it! Sorry, but I am not a developer, on what file do I add the code snippet from the example? Is it one of the files in the buddypress/bp-xprofile folder?

Thanks!

Never modify original files.
Custom code for BP can be added to bp-custom.php
