Removing messages from profile navbar.

[ThrewTheNevR]

Hello there,

So I’m having an issue removing the messages from the profiles nav bar.

The strangest issue tho because I was able to hide the notifications tab with following code.

a#user-notifications  {display : none !important}

That worked as expected but when I try to apply same method for the messages tab it don’t seem to work.

Following css used:

a#user-messages {display : none !important}

Doesn’t seem to work.

 

I then proceeded to try doing it using a function instead with the following code below.

function bp_remove_item_from_profile()

{

 

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘messages’);

}

 

add_action(‘bp_activity_setup_nav’,’bp_remove_item_from_profile’);

 

Didn’t seem to work. Was there another way to go about this?

Hi,

I just checked locally and that is the correct CSS

a#user-messages {display : none !important}

Please try purging your CDN, server cache, website cache and front-end cache (Ctrl+F5) to see if this resolves the issue.

Also please check the CSS that is above and below opens and closes correctly with the curly brackets { }

If you have done both of these tests and the issue persists then please update this ticket, in a private reply, with admin credentials so I can check it out.

Thanks,

Kieran

I have tried all of the above recommendations but problem still persists.

I don’t have a cache plugin of any sort, I have cleared browser cache and also double checked if the issue was there using another browser.

I have changed the code and added ;

a#user-messages {
display : none !important;
}

Still don’t work.

Hi,

You have a plugin installed called BP Better Messages that has changed the class for the profile nav item. I have added the below to your Theme Options > General Settings > Quick CSS and the changes are reflected on the front-end. Please clear you local cache to see the changes.

COPY CODE

li#bp_better_messages_tab-personal-li {
    display: none !important;
}

Thanks,

Kieran
