Hi there, There are several ways out there to remove a nav item, but what is the right way?

false

or

bp_core_remove_nav_item

And which one removes only the nav tab, but not the functionality?

In my case the Settings, which I want to display in the Main menu of my theme only, not in BP navs?

I hope you can bring some clarification to this topic.

Carsten

Solution one:

$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’] = false; (does not work)

Solution two:

function bphelp_remove_settings_from_profile(){
bp_core_remove_nav_item('settings');
}
add_action('bp_settings_setup_nav','bphelp_remove_settings_from_profile');
 

Solution three inclusive Group tabs:

function bpex_hide_profile_menu_tabs() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
	//	BP's profile main menu items. Comment those to show.
	//	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
	//	exist only if you use bbPress
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' ); 

	//	BP's profile main menu items. Comment those to show.
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'personnal' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'favorites' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'groups' );
	}
	endif; 
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_hide_profile_menu_tabs', 15 );

function bpex_remove_group_tabs() {  

	if ( ! bp_is_group() ) {
		return;
	}

	$slug = bp_get_current_group_slug();

		// hide items to all users except site admin
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {

	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'members' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'send-invites' );
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'admin' );
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'forum' );
	}

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpex_remove_group_tabs' );

Hello Ravi, thanks for your reply. I would prefer to remove the mark up as well, but if your recommendation is to use CSS I will do that.

I’m using nouveau template pack.
