Hi Jill,

The ‘last active’ information is displayed by the BuddyPress template:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

or by a version of the same template contained in your active theme.

You have to edit that template and remove the info you don’t need.

Yes you can simply comment out that section. If you are not using a custom template in your theme, that section is:

<div class="item-meta"><span class="activity" data-livestamp="<?php bp_core_iso8601_date( bp_get_member_last_active( array( 'relative' => false ) ) ); ?>"><?php bp_member_last_active(); ?></span></div>

Actually I tried just removing it all together and that worked. Thanks.

Jill,

I just wanted to close the loop on why this didn’t work for you.

BUT it adds the comment marks and doesn’t take out the info LOL

The reason it adds the comment marks and doesn’t take out the information is because the /* and */ in your code below are happening OUTSIDE the php tags <?php ?> and are basically being rendered as HTML.

/* <div class=”item-meta”><span class=”activity” data-livestamp=”<?php bp_core_iso8601_date( bp_get_member_last_active( array( ‘relative’ => false ) ) ); ?>”><?php bp_member_last_active(); ?></span></div> */

Additionally, I just wanted to remind you that if you edited the template within the plugin, your changes to that template will be lost when you update the plugin and you will need to remove that code again. To avoid this, create a folder within your theme and name it
“buddypress” (without the quotes) and then create a folder named
“members” (without the quotes) inside the new buddypress folder you just created. Now, copy the members-loop.php file from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php and paste it into the new buddypress/members folder you just created.

You can now edit that copy of the members-loop to your heart’s content and it will NOT be affected by buddypress updates.

I hope this helps.
