Is it somehow possible to hide BuddyPress Global Search for logged out users?

Hi @pallavi and @tjchester,

I copy/pasted the relevant code (see below) into functions.php but it did not work for the child theme Social Learner. I tried on the parent theme Boss where it worked. What do I need to change in the code to make it work for the child theme as well?

if ( ! class_exists( 'DisableSearch' ) && !is_user_logged_in() ) :
class DisableSearch {
	public static function init() {
		add_filter( 'get_search_form', array( __CLASS__, 'get_search_form' ), 999 );
	}
	public static function get_search_form( $form ) {
		return '';
	}
}
DisableSearch::init();
endif;

@mln83 I do not mean to insult your intelligence but can you verify if the child theme is your active theme?
