Profile page – make profile fields un-clickable

[LKr]

Hi!
Thank you for the great support. Quick question:

When I look at my profile (as a user), in the “View” mode, certain fields (e.g. Name) and parts of other fields are clickable. If I click on any of those, I get redirected to the Members search page where it shows other members (presumably with similar characteristics).
Is it possible to make all information in User profile UN -CLICKABLE so that it is just as simple text. ?
I do have matching disabled.

Hi,
Yes it can be done.
Add this code to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php to make Buddypress not generate the links:

COPY CODE

function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );

Hi,

Can you help me to remove the profile links?

Example:

Name: Something (linked)
Gender: Something (linked)

I’m using Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin

Thanks,

Cenk

I tried making this change as well and it’s not working for me. It doesn’t seem like any changes I make to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php work. Do you know why this might be? Here is what my file looks like:

<?php

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 120 ); //change this with your desired thumb width

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 120 ); //change this with your desired thumb height

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 580 ); //change this with your desired full size,weel I changed it to 260

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 580 ); //change this to default height for full avatar

function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );

?>

Thanks.

I realize now it’s a conflict with my plugin: Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type. It works when I deactivate it. Any chance you know a work-around? If not, I’ll try contacting the plug-in author. Thanks!

The Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin author sent me a fix that works. I had to include this in my wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file instead (in case anyone is using the same plugin and having this issue):

function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_globals’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’);

Thanks for sharing. Glad it works.

Hi,

I tried the code. The profile fields are still linked. It works when I deactivate the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields plugin.

I did this.

<?php

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 120 ); //change this with your desired thumb width

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 120 ); //change this with your desired thumb height

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 580 ); //change this with your desired full size,weel I changed it to 260

if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 580 ); //change this to default height for full avatar

define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );

define( ‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘members’ );

function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );

?>

Thanks again.

Hi Cenk – I had posted the solution to this above.

[LuukDriessen]

Hello,

I’m still having problems with this option/solution.

I don’t make use of the Xprofile plugin.
Instead, I use: Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress

My bp-custom.php:

COPY CODE

<?php /* remove profile field links */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 1, 469 );
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_globals’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’);?>

Does anyone has any idea what to change?

1. I would like to DISABLE to search/link for username. ID:1
2. I would like to ENABLE the search/link for age. ID:2

Very old topic.

Please try to do a search on BuddyPress forums since this is old and probably does not apply.

Cheers
