Suppressing rich text on xprofile text area

Hi… I want to suppress the rich text feature on my user profile field Credentials. I understand I can do this using a filter and believe I need something like this in my bp-custom.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_is_richtext_enabled_for_field', false, bp_the_profile_field_id( 'fieldname=Credentials' ) );
However, bp_the_profile_field_id() does not exist but I need someway to supply the field ID which is not apparent to me.

Any guidance, please?

thanks, Tony

To get the field_id, simply go to admin xprofile field editor and mouse over the edit button. The id can be seen in the bottom left cornet of your brower.

Example use field_id 3. Snippet goes to bp-custom.php
```
function antipole_remove_rich_text( $field_id = null ) {
    if ( ! $field_id ) {
        $field_id = bp_get_the_profile_field_id( '3' );
    }
 
    $field = xprofile_get_field( $field_id );
  
    if ( $field ) {
        $enabled = false;
    }
}
add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_is_richtext_enabled_for_field', 'antipole_remove_rich_text' );
```

Thank you very much @danbp. This does exactly what I wanted.

Only ‘problem’ is that I don’t understand how it works. You are setting $field to be the required field definition. Then you set what appears to be the local variable $enabled to false, but don’t reference it any further or return it.

Or is there more to ‘$enabled’ than I am seeing?

Pardon my ignorance.
