Look at this blog post:

I haven’t checked it, so if it doesn’t work, you can always use css.
put this line in bbpress.css in your child theme:
#forums-personal-li {display:none;}
Hi, where do I find the bbpress.css? I have my ftp in front of me but cant find this file.
Hi, where do I find the bbpress.css? I have my ftp in front of me but cant find this file. You say put this line in bbpress.css in your child theme but BBpress is shown in plugins not in plugins not inside themes.
I followed the advice in the above link and entered the script into the correct file but all it did was show the script at the top of the page!
Using firebug i was able to remove the forums-personal-li which took the ‘forums tab’ completely away! 🙂 So why can’t I just do this somewhwere in css?
There so many people asking the same question as me and getting just as frustrate… why can’t there be an update that simply allows deactivation of forums?
The script in the link is working, you probably haven’t closed it with php tags.
Put this in bp-custom.php in the plugins folders
<?php
function bp_exclude_profile_tabs() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['forums'] = false;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_exclude_profile_tabs', 999 );
?>
If you prefer to do it with css, you need to copy bbpress.css from:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
And put it in:
themes/[your child theme folder]/css
(if you don’t have a css folder in your child theme, create one)
Then put the css rule mentioned above somewhere in the file.
I made a mistake with the css file, you’re using buddypress right?
If so, the file that you need is:
plugins/buddypress/bp-tamplets/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css
Put it in:
themes/[your child theme]/css
And then add the css rule to the file.
The theme does use buddypress but the forum and search functions are bbpress.
It worked! Many thanks! Did it the bp-custom.php way.
