How to Remove the Email Footer Block

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to remove the Email Footer block from outgoing emails. If you want to remove this footer entirely, you can do so by adding a custom function to your theme’s functions.php file. This guide walks you through the process step by step.

Custom Workaround

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor in your WordPress admin dashboard.
   
2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
   
3. From the Theme Files list, click Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Paste the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

function remove_email_footer( $content ) {

    // Remove the entire Email Footer block
    $pattern = '/<!-- Email Footer : BEGIN -->(.*?)<!-- Email Footer : END -->/s';
    $content = preg_replace( $pattern, '', $content );

    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'remove_email_footer' );

5. Click Update File to save your changes.

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The email footer is still showing after adding the code.
A: Make sure the code is added to the active theme’s functions.php file and that the email footer in your emails is wrapped with the expected <!– Email Footer : BEGIN –> and <!– Email Footer : END –> comments.

Q: Will this remove the footer from all BuddyBoss and WordPress emails?
A: Yes. This filter applies globally to all outgoing emails sent using wp_mail().

Q: Can this affect email delivery or formatting?
A: No. The code only removes the footer content and does not interfere with email sending or headers.

Q: How can I revert this change?
A: Simply remove the code from functions.php and click Update File.

Q: Who can I contact if I need further help?
A: Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy or consult a qualified developer for additional assistance.
