Introduction
BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to disable the password strength meter on the Sign Up and Registration page. You can use a simple CSS snippet to hide it and provide a cleaner registration experience. The focus keyword for this guide is Disable Strength Meter.
Custom Workaround
- In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On
- Paste the following CSS:
#pass-strength-result.show {
display: none;
}- Click Save Changes
Any custom code is considered “custom work.” Please review our Support Policy for more details.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: The strength meter is still visible, what should I check?
A: Ensure the CSS was pasted exactly as shown and that Enable CSS is turned on. Clear any site cache, caching plugin, or CDN cache if necessary
Q: Will this affect password validation?
A: No. This only hides the visual strength meter. Users can still set passwords, and any backend validations remain active
Q: Can I target only specific registration forms?
A: Yes. You can add additional form-specific CSS selectors to apply the rule only to certain pages
Q: Who can I contact for further assistance?
A: Submit a support ticket through your BuddyBoss account dashboard for personalized help
