How to Remove the “Joined X Days Ago” Label on BuddyBoss

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss displays the “Joined X Days Ago” label on member profiles and directory listings. There is no built-in option to remove it, but you can hide it by adding a small custom function to your active theme. This guide explains how you can remove the “Joined X Days Ago” label.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
   
2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
   
3. From the Theme Files list, click Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Paste the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

// Remove the "Joined X Days Ago" label from members
function bb_remove_joined_date( $meta, $member, $is_loop ) {
    unset( $meta['last_activity'] );
    return $meta;
}
add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_member_meta', 'bb_remove_joined_date', 20, 3 );

5. Click Update File to save your changes.
   

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.
