    Hi,

    I want to hide the primary field from the users and restrict the editing. – (Profile>Settings page)

    It can be hidden with CSS but this method can be easily hacked and edited with the browser console.

    I’m waiting for your help.

    THANKS…

    Hi Ekiz,
    Please put this code in your bp-custom.php

    
    
    /**
     * Don't allow changing full name on BuddyPress Edit profile.
     *
     * Pre-process $_POST and overwrite the full name field data to avoid update by users.
     */
    function buddydev_overwrite_name_update() {
    	if ( empty( $_POST['field_ids'] ) || is_super_admin() ) { //allow super admins.
    		return;
    	}
    
    	$field_id = bp_xprofile_fullname_field_id();
    	$field    = 'field_' . $field_id;
    
    	if ( empty( $_POST[ $field ] ) ) {
    		return; //not set.
    	}
    
    	// Check the field group exists.
    	if ( ! bp_is_action_variable( 'group' ) || ! xprofile_get_field_group( bp_action_variable( 1 ) ) ) {
    		return;
    	}
    
    	// overwrite with raw value.
    	// avoiding displayed_user_name and get_field_data as they provide extra filtering.
    	$_POST[ $field ] = maybe_unserialize( BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byid( $field_id, bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
    }
    
    add_action( 'bp_screens', 'buddydev_overwrite_name_update', 2 );
    

    That will do it for you.

    You can hide the field using css. User edit’s won’t have any effect.

    Regards
    Brajesh
