Hide Specific About Me Profile Fields

[nicholaus1221]

Hi,

I added a checkbox profile field for the privacy policy and terms and conditions agreement for user registration, but I don’t want that field to show up in the user’s “About Me” part of the profile header or in the profile edit page.

Is there a way to hide specific profile fields after a user has registered as I only want the checkbox to appear on the registration page?

Thank you for your help,
Nicholaus

Hi Abe,

I just tried that and it didn’t work. I’m assuming I need to make edits in the member-header.php file instead??

Thanks,
Nicholaus

You won’t find much in member-header.php since most of them are generated with functions
oh… that change is affecting the user profile when you go to the Profile tab. See my reply here: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/hide-members-real-names#reply-8625

Hi Abe,

Thank you for your help, I tried out the directions in the link you provided and it didn’t work. The profile field is still viewable in the “About Me” profile tab 🙁

Anything that might be interfering with it or any reason why it wouldn’t work?

Thanks again,
Nicholaus

Hi, In wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/class-bp-tabs.php you should find those occurrences and change the “Name” field with the one you want to hide

Hi Abe,

I added the two additional fields that the link said (https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/hide-members-real-names) to add and changed the “Name” field to the one I want to hide in the child theme, but the field is still visible 🙁

Try doing the change in the main theme file to see if it has any effect. If it is not, then you are not doing the right change

Hi Abe,

It worked once I made the change in the main theme file! 🙂 Is there a reason why the child theme file wasn’t working? I don’t want to have to change that file every time I update sweetdate.

Thank you for your help,

Hi, make the change in the child theme and in custom_buddypress/bp-functions.php replace:
require_once(get_template_directory(). ‘/custom_buddypress/class-bp-tabs.php’);
with

COPY CODE

locate_template('custom_buddypress/class-bp-tabs.php', true);

And I will include this fix in next theme update so you won’t have to worry about the change in bp-functions.php

Cheers
