How to Hide the BuddyPanel on Specific Pages

Introduction

BuddyBoss displays the BuddyPanel on all pages by default. You can hide or remove the BuddyPanel on specific pages by adding a small custom function to your active theme. This ensures that certain pages remain clean without the panel for a better user experience. This guide explains how to hide the BuddyPanel on specific pages.

Custom Workaround

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

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

// Remove BuddyPanel on certain pages

function bb_remove_buddypanel_menu() { 

    // Replace the numbers in the array with the Page IDs where you want to remove BuddyPanel

    if( is_page( array( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) ) ) {

        unregister_nav_menu('buddypanel-loggedin'); 

        unregister_nav_menu('buddypanel-loggedout'); 

    } 

}

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bb_remove_buddypanel_menu', 20 );

5. Click Update File to save the changes
   Replace the example page IDs (1, 2, 3, 4) with the IDs of the pages where you want the BuddyPanel removed.

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