Introduction
By default, BuddyBoss displays the Certificates sub tab on the user profile page when certificates are enabled. Currently, there is no built-in setting to hide this specific sub tab. However, you can remove it from the profile navigation using a custom CSS snippet.
Custom Workaround
Follow the steps below to hide the Certificates sub tab on the profile page:
- Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
- Append the following code:
li#certificates-personal-li.bp-personal-sub-tab {
display: none;
}- Save changes
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: Will this completely disable certificates for users?
A: No. This only hides the Certificates sub tab from the profile menu. Certificates will still function in the background.
Q: Will this affect admin access to certificates?
A: No. This CSS change only affects the front-end profile navigation for users.
Q: The Certificates tab is still showing after adding the code. What should I do?
A: Clear your site cache and browser cache. If the code is not working, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.
Q: Can this be applied only to certain users or roles?
A: Not with CSS alone. Hiding tabs conditionally by role would require custom PHP development.
