How to Remove Dates from the BuddyBoss Group Feed and Forum

Introduction

BuddyBoss doesn’t offer a built-in setting to hide the timestamps next to group feed posts or forum replies. If you prefer a cleaner look without dates, you can apply a simple CSS snippet via Theme Options.

Custom Workaround

1. In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options.
   
2. Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On.
   

Paste the following CSS:

.bs-forums-items .bs-replied a,

.bp-activity-head .activity-date {

  display: none;

}

3. Click Save Changes.
   

Note: Any custom code is considered “custom work.” You may review our Support Policy for details.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The dates are still visible—what should I check?
A:

• Clear any caching plugin or CDN cache.
• Ensure you pasted the CSS exactly, without extra characters or missing semicolons.
• Verify you enabled Enable CSS before saving.
  

Q: I only want to hide dates in forums, not activity feeds—can I target just one?
A: Yes. Remove one selector. For forums only, use:

bs-forums-items .bs-replied a {
  display: none;
}

Q: Can I hide other elements similarly?
A: Absolutely. Identify the element’s CSS selector (e.g., via browser inspector) and apply display: none; within the same CSS area.

Q: Will this affect other pages or desktop views?
A: No. This rule only targets forum replies (.bs-replied a) and activity date (.activity-date) elements wherever they appear.

Q: Who can I contact for further assistance?
A: Submit a support ticket via your BuddyBoss account dashboard for personalized help.
