How to Prevent GIFs from Being Posted in Comments

Introduction

BuddyBoss allows users to post GIFs in comments by default. You can prevent GIFs from being added to comments by adding a small CSS snippet to your active theme. This guide explains how to prevent GIFs from being posted in comments.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options in your WordPress admin dashboard
   
2. Open the Custom Codes section
   
3. Enable CSS
   
4. Add the following CSS code:
   

li.blogs .activity-comments .post-elements-buttons-item.post-gif {

    display: none !important;

}

5. Click Save Changes
   

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