Hi there,
Due to many spam users I want to disable About Me and website. I tried the code suggested here: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/way-to-disable-website-and-about-me-column-in-account/
but it does not work.
Example of scam page: https://www.laptopu.ro/community/profile/zpmmillie587579/
Any idea ?
Usually scam users put stuff into About Me and Website Link. I want to remove these 2 from user profile.
Please guide me. Really appreciate 🙂
try this code
function wpforo_custom_remove_user_fields( $fields ){
$remove_fields = array('about', 'site');
if( !empty($fields) ){
foreach( $fields as $r => $rows ){
foreach( $rows as $c => $cols ){
foreach( $cols as $f => $field ){
if( $field && in_array($field, $remove_fields) ){
unset($fields[$r][$c][$f]);
}
}
}
}
}
return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'wpforo_get_account_fields', 'wpforo_custom_remove_user_fields');
This code disables the About and Site fields in the My Profile > Account page. This doesn't have any affection on the profile home page.
the code above normally removes the fields from the "Account Tab" so that nobody can insert anything anymore
you can also hide the fields in the "Profile Tab"
add this to custom css
