    much appreciated, for some reason all of the codes I find for this are dated and dont work for me…however…for some reason I can only use one of these functions at a time or it crashes my site. I’m not sure why it would.

      Hi Andrew,

      If you want both actions to be fired then please write the following code:

      function bp_remove_item_from_profile()
      {
      bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘activity’);
      bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘messages’);
      }

      add_action(‘bp_activity_setup_nav’,’bp_remove_item_from_profile’);

      Thank you for writing to us. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

      Thanks & Regards,
