Hide Widgets From Logged-Out Users

Introduction

By default, BuddyBoss does not provide an option to hide widgets for logged-out users. Using a simple CSS snippet, you can hide sidebar widgets when users are not logged in and center the main content layout for a cleaner appearance.

Custom Workaround

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

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

body:not(.logged-in) div#secondary,

body:not(.logged-in) div#secondary-right {

    display: none;

}

body:not(.logged-in) div.bb-grid {

    justify-content: center;

}

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 widgets for logged-in users as well?

A: No. This CSS only applies to logged-out users. Logged-in users will still see the widgets.

Q: The widgets are still visible after adding the CSS. What should I do?

A: Clear your site cache and browser cache. If the issue persists, check if your theme uses different sidebar IDs.

Q: Does this affect mobile views?

A: Yes. The widgets will be hidden for logged-out users on all screen sizes, including mobile.

Q: Can I hide only specific widgets instead of the entire sidebar?

A: Yes. You can target specific widget classes or IDs instead of the entire sidebar container.
