BUDDYPRESS HIDE WIDGETS
With BuddyPress Hide Widgets, you can restrict specific widgets to your network’s main site, turning it into the community hub.

Perfect for streamlined social networking with focused features.
Description
BUDDYPRESS HIDE WIDGETS is a WordPress plugin designed for BuddyPress networks where you want the main site to act as the community hub. Instead of showing BuddyPress widgets everywhere, it lets you restrict selected widgets to your network’s main site only. This helps keep social navigation focused and prevents key elements from being scattered across multiple site areas.
Built for WordPress multisite setups, it adds extended BuddyPress settings and simple toggle controls to manage widget availability. Site administrators can configure which widget areas are used on each site, while access can be limited to super admins when needed.
Main Features
- Widget visibility control — Make specific BuddyPress widgets available only on the network main site.
- Network hub setup — Reserve built-in BuddyPress widgets for the main site to centralize community activity.
- Extended BuddyPress settings — Manage widget rules from BuddyPress settings in the WordPress admin area.
- Toggle widget availability — Enable quick on/off controls to mark widgets for exclusive use.
- Widget area targeting — Control where BuddyPress widgets can display within widget areas.

- Custom widget area configuration — Allow administrators to set custom widget areas for their site context.
