remove_action 'bp_adminbar_notifications_menu' not working

[wedeem]

I tried:

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_notifications_menu', 8 );

In a custom plugin and in bp-customs though I can't remove it?

I am able to remove all the others..

You're probably doing it too soon. It works if you hook the remove_action() to bp_init, eg

function bbg_remove_notifications_menu() {
  remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_notifications_menu', 8 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bbg_remove_notifications_menu' );
