Remove "Popular" link on homepage members widget
Added by Matt Gold almost 12 years ago.

BuddyPress (misc)
Description
We removed this long ago, but it must have snuck back in through a site update.
Are there other things that might have been overwritten, as well?
- Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
- Target version set to 1.4.19
It looks like the Enhanced BuddyPress Widgets plugin we've been running for a few years was no longer working, possibly because of some load-order issues in the most recent BuddyPress.
I wrote an improved version of the widget override and removed the old plugin: https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/46e56ec674470867a0e3a55e0a3516ce9ef293d6

If you notice anything, please open a ticket.
Thanks, Boone. What are the prospects of releasing that widget publicly through a plugin?
It's a bad idea. This is not so much a useful plugin as it is a brute force override of a BuddyPress feature. A more reasonable approach would be for BuddyPress to allow filtering of these tabs, which is something I might do at some point.
Okay. FWIW, removing the "popular" link was one of the first suggestions I heard made (over twitter) for the MLA Commons, so I'm not alone in thinking that it would be a good idea.
