Title: hide profile fields only for certain fields Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # hide profile fields only for certain fields * Resolved [CommonEasy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commoneasy/) * (@commoneasy) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-profile-fields-only-for-certain-fields/) * Hi there, * I use both BP 2.0.1 and the BP custom fields type plugin and i got the the links removed with: * ``` function remove_xprofile_links() { remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 ); } add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links'); ``` * I was wondering if you could use this to only hide the links from certain profile fields, like only for profile field 2, 6 & 7 ? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [donmik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atallos/) * (@atallos) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-profile-fields-only-for-certain-fields/#post-4984990) * Hi, * I believe the only way to do this is rewrite the function responsible of create buddypress links, you need to use the following code and delete the previous: * ``` /** * This is the custom filter to create links */ function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) { // Access the field you are going to display value. global $field; // In this array you write the ids of the fields you want to hide the link. $excluded_field_ids = array(2,6,7); // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link. if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids)) return $field_value; if ( 'datebox' == $field_type ) return $field_value; if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) ) return $field_value; $values = explode( ',', $field_value ); if ( !empty( $values ) ) { foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) { $value = trim( $value ); // If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable. if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) { $new_values[] = make_clickable( $value ); // Is not clickable } else { // More than 5 spaces if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) { $new_values[] = $value; // Less than 5 spaces } else { $search_url = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() ); $new_values[] = '' . $value . ''; } } } $values = implode( ', ', $new_values ); } return $values; } /** * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter. */ function remove_xprofile_links() { // Remove the old filter. remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 ); // Add your custom filter. add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2); } add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links'); ``` * Try it and get in touch if this does not work. * Thread Starter [CommonEasy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commoneasy/) * (@commoneasy) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-profile-fields-only-for-certain-fields/#post-4985026) * Hi man! sorry for the late response, i just tested your code and it works perfect! awesome šŸ™‚ * [Netz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netz/) * (@netz) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-profile-fields-only-for-certain-fields/#post-4985028) * Any chance of a rewrite of this ā€¦ To remove or hide the ā€œHOMEā€ link in BuddyPress Group? * And some help in where to add this what file between what lined?
