[Resolved] Removing "reply" text and option altogether

Hey guys,

As nice as it is, the “reply” feature for comments is not really required in the way that I’m going to be using BP. I’m trying to set it up more “Facebook” like.

People only really need to hit the comment button to post in a thread.

Plus “reply” comments start getting very messy with regards to the styling.

BP is tricky enough to work out in regards to what things control what css wise, and I have spent a day trying to fix the alignment of comment replies, but I can’t seem to do it without affecting other comment areas, so I’ve decided to just get rid of it.

What do I need to do to remove “reply” from comments on the activity streams?

hi @mrgiblets,

what about a show/hide toggle comment button ?

Or disabling comments selectively ?

See this filter bp_activity_can_comment in:

Hey @danbp,

Thanks for the tip but in the meantime I went and bought Buddyboss Wall and that seems to be doing the job perfectly.

I think I was having trouble as I am using a completely blanked WP theme with everything stripped so I can style everything to my liking. But the css structure of both WP & BP can get very confusing at times 😉
