ok i found what was blocking the render, but the code placed in bp-custom.php does nothing at all, i still see all cats on a normal user when trying to create new buddyblog post.
i tried bp-custom.php and also child themes function.php just to see if bp-custom wasnt being called but it is
i mean even though i hide a tab with css, it still loads just hidden, and loads in the dynamic subnav also?
if I use greedy nav as you suggested, I will still have all the same tabs and extra jss/css to load, but if i use your plugin and css to hide tabs ill have some extra css but wouldnt that still render the hidden tab content, so rendering it twice on every profile load?
heres a picture of the mess i need help with:
