Hide Author and Date When Searching on the Activity Feed

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not include a built-in option to hide the author and date when users search content on the Activity Feed. If you want a cleaner search results layout in BuddyBoss, you can use a simple CSS snippet to remove this metadata from search results.

Custom Workaround

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
2. Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
3. Add the following CSS:

body.bp-search div.entry-meta {

    display: none;

}

4. Save changes

Note: Any CSS or function changes are considered custom work. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy for more details.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The author and date are still visible after adding the CSS. What should I do?

A: Clear your site cache, browser cache, and any CDN cache. Also confirm that the CSS was added under BuddyBoss Theme Options and that CSS is enabled.

Q: Will this hide the author and date outside of search results?

A: No. This CSS only applies when viewing Activity Feed search results.

Q: Can I hide other elements in Activity Feed search results as well?

A: Yes. You can target additional elements by identifying their CSS selectors using your browser’s inspector and applying similar display rules.

Q: Who can I contact if I need further help?

A: You can submit a support ticket through your BuddyBoss account dashboard for personalized assistance.
