How To Disable BuddyPress Custom Header

Posted on May 4th, 2010 by admin in Domain Development, Domain News | 4 Comments »

I’ve been using BuddyPress for an upcoming domaining project of mine and I ran across a tricky problem when creating my custom BuddyPress child theme.

Even though BuddyPress is built in the awesomely simplistic/easy to learn way following in the footsteps of it’s big brother WordPress, it still takes a bit of getting used to while you learn about how things work.

One of those things I couldn’t figure out at the start was how to turn of the custom header that’s configured by default through the Custom Header section in the Appearance menu in your WordPress admin control panel. I couldn’t find the custom code in the default BuddyPress theme and changing stuff inside my child theme’s style.css had no effect either.

In the end, the solution was quite simple.

Open your functions.php file inside your new BuddyPress child theme (create a functions.php file if you haven’t already), and paste the following code:
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );

That’s it, the custom header is gone. I hope someone finds this useful.
