Introduction
By default, BuddyBoss displays the Search Feed option in the Activity Feed for all visitors, including logged out users. At this time, there is no built in setting to conditionally hide this feature based on login status. If you want to simplify the interface for logged out visitors, you can hide the Search Feed button using a custom CSS workaround.
Custom Workaround
Follow the steps below to hide the Search Feed option for logged out users only.
- Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
- Append the following code:
body:not(.logged-in) button.subnav-filters-opener {
display: none !important;
}- Save changes
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: What does this CSS code do
A: This code hides the Search Feed button specifically for users who are not logged in, while keeping it visible for logged in members.
Q: Will this disable feed filtering completely for logged out users
A: No. This only hides the Search Feed button from the interface. It does not change or remove any underlying functionality.
Q: Does this affect logged in users
A: No. Logged in users will continue to see and use the Search Feed option as normal.
Q: The Search Feed button is still visible for logged out users. What should I do
A: Clear your site cache and browser cache, then confirm the CSS was added correctly under BuddyBoss Theme Options. If the issue persists, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.
