Hide the option to “Split” a discussion/forum reply

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss does not provide an option to hide the “Split” action in forum replies. Using a simple CSS snippet, you can remove this option from the discussion dropdown, keeping the forum interface cleaner and reducing confusion for users.

Custom Workaround

Follow the steps below to hide the “Split” option:

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

#bbpress-forums .bs-dropdown .bbp-admin-links a.bbp-topic-split-link { display: none; }

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 this delete the reply or discussion?

A: No. This CSS only hides the “Split” option from the interface; the reply and discussion remain intact.

Q: The “Split” option is still visible after adding the CSS. What should I do?

A: Clear your site cache and browser cache. If the option still appears, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.

Q: Can I hide the “Split” option for only specific forums?

A: Yes. Replace #bbpress-forums with the specific forum ID selector to target certain forums.

Q: Will this work for mobile views?

A: Yes. This CSS snippet applies across all devices.
