Profile tab cannot be easily disabled

[seravifer]

What happens is that when you activate "Customize your community with fully editable profile fields that allow users to describe" and decides to turn it off, the tab is still running "public".

Sorry for the misspelling, I'm Spanish

When you disable the Extended Profile component, it means that you're disabling the ability for admins to set up custom profile fields. However, users still have a public profile, corresponding to the WordPress user profile. I'm not aware of a straightforward way to disable the display of the Public profile tab altogether. I guess it would be some combination of:

• ensuring that Activity or something else was the default component
• using bp_core_remove_nav_item() to remove the Profile tab

I'm going to move this into Future Release as an enhancement request, since probably there should be a better way to disable the display of profiles.

How do the delete?

[boonebgorges]

Try the following in your bp-custom.php file:

function bbg_remove_profile_tab() {
  bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_remove_profile_tab', 99 );

Not work:

<?php
define ( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
function bbg_remove_profile_tab() {
  bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_remove_profile_tab', 99 );
?>

Totally disabling the user profile isn't easily achieved in BuddyPress core. This is by design, as members need to have some kind of profile for the other components to use. Closing as wontfix; if you still need help, please start a support topic.
