Introduction
By default, BuddyBoss displays the “Share what’s on your mind” box on the Activity Feed for all users. If you want to remove or hide this post box—for example, to simplify the interface or control where members can post—there is no built-in setting to do this. You can achieve it using a custom CSS snippet.
Custom Workaround
Follow the steps below to hide the post box:
- Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, enable CSS
- Append the following code:
div#bp-nouveau-activity-form {
display: none !important;
}- Save changes
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: Will this hide the post box for all users or just logged out users?
A: This CSS snippet hides the box for all users, regardless of login status.
Q: Can members still post via other methods if this is hidden?
A: Yes. Members can still post if there are other interfaces or integrations (like LearnDash course comments or group posts) available.
Q: Is this reversible?
A: Yes. Simply remove or comment out the CSS snippet to restore the post box.
Q: The box is still visible after applying the CSS. 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 code is not working, submit a ticket to the support team for assistance.
