Hide Full Name Beside Dropdown in Menu Header

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not provide a built in option to hide the full name displayed beside the profile dropdown in the menu header. If you prefer a cleaner header layout, you can hide the full name using a simple CSS workaround in BuddyBoss.

Custom Workaround

Follow the steps below to hide the full name beside the dropdown in the menu header.

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

.header-aside .user-name {

    display: none;

}

4. Click Save changes

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

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The full name is still visible after adding the CSS. What should I check?

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

Q: Will this remove the user name from other areas of the site?

A: No. This only hides the user name displayed beside the dropdown in the menu header.

Q: Does this affect the profile dropdown menu itself?

A: No. The dropdown menu and its functionality will continue to work as expected.

Q: Can I restore the full name later?

A: Yes. Simply remove the CSS snippet and save your changes.
