    Hello Brajesh,

    I use this code stated below to force users to follow a set of users upon registration. How can I prevent users from unfollowing this users with the stated IDs
    (Users should not be able to unfollow the stated users if possible to hide the unfollow button for the stated user IDs)

     function auto_follow_users( $user_id ){
	if ( function_exists( 'bp_follow_start_following' ) ){

	// Add your user ids here
	$users_to_follow = array( '606', '617', '619', '608', '548' );

		foreach ( $users_to_follow as $follow_user ) {
			bp_follow_start_following( array( 'leader_id' => $follow_user, 'follower_id' => $user_id ) );			
		}
	}
}
add_action('bp_core_activated_user', 'auto_follow_users', 10, 1);

    I would like to hide the unfollow button across the entire site for all this users with IDs ( ‘606’, ‘617’, ‘619’, ‘608’, ‘548’ )

    Thank you

    Please use the following code to hide the button

    

/**
 * @param array $args button args.
 * @param int   $leader_id leader to be followed.
 * @param int   $follower_id follower id.
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
function buddydev_hide_unfollow_button_for_users( $args, $leader_id, $follower_id ) {

	if ( 'following' !== $args['id'] ) {
		return $args;
	}

	// user ids who can not be unfollowed.
	$special_user_ids = array( 1,2,3,67 );

	if ( in_array( $leader_id, $special_user_ids ) ) {
		$args['id'] = '';
	}

	return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bp_follow_get_add_follow_button', 'buddydev_hide_unfollow_button_for_users', 10, 3 );

    It only hides the button but does not do anything else to stop unfollowing.

    Regards
    Brajesh
