BuddyPress.org

Wordpress 3.8.1 bo 1.9.1

Hi,
I have spent hours trying to figure this out. My objective is to allow the user to change their online notification settings but disable the settings>general tab whilst leaving the settings>email menu tab in tact, or disable the output of “change email” and “change password” so it doesn’t show at all on the font end under settings>general.

I do not want users to be able to change their passwords or email address through buddypress as I am using formidable pro for my registration for the site.

Is it just a case of editing out a few lines of code or do I need a php script to put in my theme functions.php?

regards
