Introduction
BuddyBoss does not include a built in option to hide the Export Data tab under the Account Settings page. If you want to remove this option from user accounts, you can apply a simple CSS snippet in BuddyBoss to hide the Export Data tab from view.
Custom Workaround
- In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On
- Paste the following CSS:
li#export-personal-li.bp-personal-sub-tab {
display: none;
}- Click Save Changes
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: The Export Data tab is still visible. What should I check
A: Clear your site cache, caching plugin, or CDN cache. Make sure the CSS was pasted exactly as shown and that Enable CSS was turned on before saving.
Q: Will this remove the Export Data functionality completely
A: No. This only hides the Export Data tab from the Account Settings interface. The underlying functionality still exists in WordPress.
Q: Will this affect admins or only regular users
A: This CSS hides the tab for all users who can access the Account Settings page, including administrators.
Q: Can this be reverted later
A: Yes. Simply remove the CSS snippet and save your changes to restore the Export Data tab.
