Removing Options panel

[Beit]

What is the best way to remove the buddy boss options from the back end?

I would like to set the wall and gallery on, and deactivate the options to upload a logo or change settings from the dashboard. I will hardcode the logo into the CSS of a child theme and wish for all sub sites to use the buddyboss theme without the ability to change the logo or the wall / gallery settings.

Thanks in advance!
Chris

@cjk123 hard coding the logo will fix the issue as the upload logo option will do nothing. I think the best way would be to modify the wp-admin css file and hide all elements you do not wish to be edited. Otherwise you will need to manually look through the code and comment out each element you want removed.

A feature request for v3.?
Perhaps a filter to place in child theme function.php?

@cjk123 I will move this to the request forum for tracking

@michael FYI

Thanks for looping me in on the conversation.

Unfortunately I probably won’t add this since it’s such a unique scenario. You could add some conditionals in the admin options file to only load the options if it’s the main site.

Something like this:

if (is_main_site()) {
  execute this code;
}
else {
  execute this code;
}

Hey @michael,

Thanks for giving it some consideration at least and pointing me towards workable solution. . You haves lot more experience with buddypress than i do, I’m a recent buddypress newbie so I will respect that.. This is my first time using it. Respectfully, I’m surprised that this request would be so unique? Seems to me a consistent look across a BP network that offers free blogs would be a popular choice.

I’ll putz with your idea for the conditional above.

Cheers
Chris

I just read what people ask for in the forums, and this is the first I’ve heard of the request. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. Right now I have to limit which features I can put into BuddyBoss 3.0 so I can get it out on time. I’m pretty much at a feature freeze and just working on fixing design issues and bugs right now. So I might add this later on if it seems like something other people will want too.

Best,
Michael

Hey @michael

Thanks for the feedback on my feedback! 😉

I did find an excellent plugin that works like a charm and provides this functionality. It works great with your theme, on buddypress / multisite. For anyone interested it is on the WordPress repo as Menu Item Visibility Control . It works like widget logic does in that you can fill an added conditional field on each menu item.

Cheers!
