Hide the Photos Tab on the Profile Page for Logged-out Users

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss does not provide an option to hide the Photos tab on a user’s profile page for logged-out users. Using a simple CSS snippet, you can prevent non-logged-in visitors from seeing the Photos tab, helping you control content visibility and improve privacy.

Custom Workaround

Follow the steps below to hide the Photos tab for logged-out users:

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

body:not(.logged-in) li#media-personal-li.bp-personal-tab { 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 remove photos from the site entirely?

A: No. This only hides the Photos tab from the profile navigation for logged-out users. The photos themselves are not deleted.

Q: Logged-in users can still see the Photos tab, correct?

A: Yes. This CSS specifically targets logged-out users only.

Q: The Photos tab is still visible after adding the CSS. What should I do?

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

Q: Will this affect mobile views?

A: No. The snippet works across all screen sizes unless overridden by other custom CSS.

Q: Can this be limited to specific user profiles?

A: Not with this snippet alone. More advanced customization would require additional custom development.
