Hide the Forum and Groups Tabs on the Profile Page

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss does not provide an option to hide the Forum and Groups tabs on a user’s profile page. You can use a simple CSS snippet to hide these tabs from view.

Custom Workaround

Follow these steps:

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

body.bbp-user-page li#groups-personal-li,

body.bbp-user-page li#forums-personal-li {

    display: none !important;

}

4. Save changes

Note: Any modifications are considered as custom work already. Know more about our Support policy here: https://buddyboss.com/support-policy/

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Will hiding these tabs remove content from the profile?

A: No, this only hides the tabs visually. All content remains accessible via direct URLs.

Q: Can I hide these tabs only for logged-out users?

A: Yes, by adding body:not(.logged-in) before the selectors in the CSS.

Q: The tabs are still visible after adding the code. What should I do?

A: Clear your browser cache and any caching plugins. If the issue persists, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.

Q: Can I hide additional tabs using the same method?

A: Yes, just add the corresponding li#tab-id selectors separated by commas in the CSS.
