For information, I have installed and activated 2 plugins :
1) BP Profile Search
2) BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
Which BP Template are you using? Youcan see this in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.
in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options, I use “BuddyPress Legacy” BP Template …
Then you can overload the edit.php and ‘register.php` files and remove that attribute.
get ftp access to your site and location wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/single/profile/edit.php
in these files locate and remove:
<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>
<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>"><span id="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>-2">
<?php
printf(
__( 'This field can be seen by: %s', 'buddypress' ),
'<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
);
?>
</span>
<button type="button" class="visibility-toggle-link" aria-describedby="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>-2" aria-expanded="false"><?php _ex( 'Change', 'Change profile field visibility level', 'buddypress' ); ?></button>
</p>
<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
<fieldset>
<legend><?php _e( 'Who can see this field?', 'buddypress' ) ?></legend>
<?php bp_profile_visibility_radio_buttons() ?>
</fieldset>
<button type="button" class="field-visibility-settings-close"><?php _e( 'Close', 'buddypress' ) ?></button>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="field-visibility-settings-notoggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
<?php
printf(
__( 'This field can be seen by: %s', 'buddypress' ),
'<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
);
?>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
Then place these modified files in `wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php’ and
`wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php’
Just a note, I’ve not tested this, but give it a try, it’s possible that some variation will be required.
Now, I can read the message below when visitors choose “Register” :
Create an Account
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in C:\xampp\htdocs\buddypressdivi2\wp-content\themes\Divi\buddypress\members\register.php on line 189
I removed the “Visibility” codes and the new code of the register.php file is :
Line 183 : */
Line 184 : do_action( ‘bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility’ );
Line 185 :
Line 186 :
Line 187 :
Line 188 : <?php
Line 189 :
Line 190 :
Line 191 : /**
<div<?php bp_field_css_class( ‘editfield’ ); ?>>
<fieldset>
<?php
$field_type = bp_xprofile_create_field_type( bp_get_the_profile_field_type() );
$field_type->edit_field_html();
/**
* Fires before the display of the visibility options for xprofile fields.
*
* @since 1.7.0
*/
do_action( ‘bp_custom_profile_edit_fields_pre_visibility’ );
<?php
/**
* Fires after the display of the visibility options for xprofile fields.
*
* @since 1.1.0
*/
do_action( ‘bp_custom_profile_edit_fields’ ); ?>
</fieldset>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>`
It looks like you have an extra <?php in your code, so you’ve deleted too much. another opton would be to put the code back and just hide it using style=”display: none;”.
So for example you could change this:
<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
to
<span class="current-visibility-level" style="display:none;">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
and add that to all the elements you want to hide.
It doesn’t work for me …
What has been changed ? see below :
‘<span class=”current-visibility-level”>’ has been replaced by
<span class=”current-visibility-level” style=”display:none;”>’ .
in the 2 files below :
wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php’
wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php’
From another site, they add the code below to CSS files (but I don’t know the names of these files) :
https://alkaweb.ticksy.com/ticket/1389627/
That’s coming from BuddyPress, CSS will do the job:
.field-visibility-settings-toggle{display:none!important;}
Please do you know the files (in buddypress or in the Theme folder?) ?
In the site below, they copy the code to style.css file …
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-this-field-can-be-seen-by/
You could download a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/safecss/ and add these lines of css to your style sheet, or If you have a created a child theme, you can just add these lines to your style.css file
.field-visibility-settings-toggle {
display:none;
}
.field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
display:none;
}
I don’t have the style.css file in my Theme but these 2 files instead :
editor-style.css
theme-customizer-controls-styles
Please do you know which CSS files need to be added or modified ?
{RESOLVED} : How to REMOVE “This field can be seen by:” ?
In the folder of the Theme, add the code below at the end of the file called style.css :
For me in Localhost : C:\xampp\htdocs\buddypressdivi2\wp-content\themes\Divi\Style.css
.field-visibility-settings-toggle{display:none!important;}
For information, the visibility of “This field can be seen by: All Members/Everyone/…” will be removed in both the Registration page & Edit Profile page ….
It’s my first time on this BP Forum, please how to add “RESOLVED” ?

In Users/Profile Fields of WP-Admin, set the fields like below :
Visibility = Everyone
and Allow members to override
For information, the visibility of “This field can be seen by: All Members/Everyone/…” will be removed in both the Registration page & Edit Profile page … except for the fields (Required) Name …
It’s my first time on this BP Forum, please how to add “RESOLVED” ?
Thank you …
