Hello Everybody,

I need to disable the ability for users to edit their profiles on their forum page but keep the other features; how may I disable that option?

Thanks for your help!

If you know enough to FTP a file, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove lines 72-76 ie these :
```
<li class="<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_edit() ) :?>current<?php endif; ?>">
					<span class="bbp-user-edit-link">
						<a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "Edit %s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Edit', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
					</span>
				</li>
```
and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
