@artyr

Please use this hook code:

add_filter( 'wpforo_init_member_templates', function($member_templates){
    $member_templates = array_map( function($template){
       $template = 0;
       $template = 0;
       
       return $template;
    }, $member_templates);
    
    return $member_templates;
}, 999 );

Using your code, the links didn't disappear. They just became unclickable.

@artyr, In wpForo, the icons (such as forum icons or profile icons) are often linked by default, which can sometimes lead to broken links or unwanted indexing by search engines. To change or remove these links, you would typically need to customize the forum template files or use CSS/JavaScript to disable the links. One approach is to override the template files where these icons are rendered and remove the anchor tags wrapping the icons. Another simpler way is to use CSS to disable pointer events on the icon links, effectively making them unclickable, for example:

#wpforo a .wpf-icon-class { /* replace with actual icon link class */
  pointer-events: none;
  cursor: default;
}

Additionally, to prevent search engines from indexing these links, you can add a rel="nofollow" attribute to the anchor tags in the template files or via filters if available. Since wpForo does not provide a direct setting for this, you may need to customize your theme or child theme files or use hooks if you want a programmatic solution. If you want specific guidance on which template files to edit or how to apply CSS for your particular icons, please specify which icons you want to modify (e.g., forum icons, profile icons, post icons). For more detailed customization, you might consider consulting wpForo support or their community forums.

Hello
Can you please help?

How do I change the links for these icons?

https://iimg.su/i/vvz2aD

Or maybe they can be removed somehow in the settings? (If I set "display:none;" to the icons, the links are still indexed by search engines - this is not suitable.)

I have a profile on the BodyPress forum, so these links are broken:

https://avifm.ru/klient/avifm/community/subscriptions/

Here's the page with the icons
