Remove About Me Fields from Profile View

[frien337]

Hello Everyone,

I need some help with the profile fields/tabs that display next to the profile picture. I have managed to add a custom tab to the profile page. My custom tab shows perfectly fine when viewing the default wall page of the profile, however, if I view the profile page, all of the About Me tabs are pulled in and displayed next to the profile image.

Can you tell me how I can stop this from happening? I only want my custom tab to show when viewing the profile page.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi, just an idea. I am not a pro but it is a suggestion. Did you try to set “Per-Member Visibility” of all the options in the base tab to “Nobody”? It might make the label disappear.

this or something like it is in your functions.php, right?

COPY CODE

function kleo_my_custom_tab()
{  
    global $bp_tabs;
    
    $bp_tabs['base'] = array(
        'type' => 'regular',
        'name' => apply_filters('kleo_extra_tab2',__('About Me', 'kleo_framework')),
        'group' => 'About Me',
        'class' => 'regulartab'
    );

  /* rtMedia tab - only if plugin installed */
    if (class_exists('RTMedia')) 
    {
        $bp_tabs['rtmedia'] = array(
            'type' => 'rt_media',
            'name' => __('Our photos', 'kleo_framework'),
            'class' => 'mySlider'
        );
    }
  /* Bp-Album tab - only if plugin installed */
    elseif (function_exists('bpa_init') AND sq_option('bp_album', 1) == 1)
    {
        $bp_tabs['bp-album'] = array(
            'type' => 'bp_album',
            'name' => __('Our Photos', 'kleo_framework'),
            'class' => 'mySlider'
        );
    }

just delete this part:

COPY CODE

 $bp_tabs['base'] = array(
        'type' => 'regular',
        'name' => apply_filters('kleo_extra_tab2',__('About Me', 'kleo_framework')),
        'group' => 'About Me',
        'class' => 'regulartab'
    );

Wait, I think you’re talking about the Profile View under Profile on the nav. If so, not sure. Sorry 🙂

Hi @frien337,
Since we all understood different thing, try to exemplify with some screen-shots

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Please have a look at what I am trying to do by refering to these screenshots.

@Douweboschma: I had a look at doing that but I can’t set the display option to “nobody” for some fields, like the username.

@adam: I gave that a try too but it also did not work for me.

Everything works fine when I view the wall tab and only when I click on the profile tab do the additional profile fields show. If there is no way to turn off specific fields, would you be able to tell me how I can disable all of them from showing? If I can disable all of them, then I should be able to manually add in the required fields using “bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=About Me’ );”
I did look at the member-header.php file and all that I can see is the avatar, title and matchmaking code. unless I am missing something…

Thanks and look forward to your responses.
Ryan

Any ideas?

[adam]

it looks like your About Me fields are showing up like if it was the Looking For section. Have a look at this:
https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-more-tabs-next-to-the-profile-image
my guess is that the About Me tab you created was set up with ‘type’ => ‘cite’, when it should be ‘type’ => ‘regular’, and ‘class’ => ‘citetab’ when it should be ‘class’ => ‘regulartab’.

[frien337]

Thanks Adam! However, that has not worked for me. Let me maybe explain this a bet better. I have added the following code to my child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action('after_setup_theme','kleo_my_custom_tabs');
function kleo_my_custom_tabs()
{
global $bp_tabs;
$bp_tabs = array();
$bp_tabs['looking-for'] = array(
'type' => 'cite',
'name' => __('About Me', 'kleo_framework'),
'group' => 'About Me',
'class' => 'citetab'
);

}

I left the cite and citetab in because I prefer the way in which it displays the field on the front end – regular seems to remove the styling and rather leaves it with a standard look. Anyway, the above code works perfectly when I view the profiles activity page (e.g.: http://www.website.com/members/user/activity/) and it pulls in the “About Me” field group just fine.

However, when I click on profile (http://www.website.com/members/user/profile/) it shows the “About Me” field group as well as EVERY field from other field groups (username, country, borthdate, etc, etc.). The screenshots</a from before highlight this issue.

So, how can I stop all of these fields being pulled into my profile page (http://www.website.com/members/user/profile/) and only display one field group?

Thanks,
Ryan

It doesn’t matter on what page you are on a profile page, the tabs will show the same thing. You can control what profile group to show using this topic https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-more-tabs-next-to-the-profile-image

Please provide a link to your site to better understand your issue.

Hi Sqadmin,

Thanks,

Hello, I thought I’d let everyone know that this issue was caused by a plugin conflict and works fine once the plugin was deactivated 🙂

[adam]

let us know which plugin if you can because we might want to avoid it. thanks.

[frien337]

Sure 🙂 The plugin is “BP XProfile WordPress User Sync“. With that enable, it pulled through every field and added them to my profile header – it did not to the same for the activity wall, messages and friend pages.
