Change the headings of preferences settings

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around changing the headings of preference settings. karlson4ik initially asked about removing or changing the headers, which Lilly clarified are essential tabs for users to navigate their profile preferences. ondrej suggested hiding the headers with CSS, but Lilly advised against it unless there’s a special use case. karlson4ik was provided with a link to a meta discussion on hiding preference sub-tabs, which helped him find the solution.

However, pmusaraj pointed out potential issues with removing the tabs, such as users not being able to reset their passwords or change email notification settings. karlson4ik clarified that his site uses single sign-on (SSO) login, eliminating the need for password reset, and that mail notifications are disabled for everyone.

How can I change these headers? Or can I remove them completely because I don’t need them?

Hello @karlson4ik :wave:

Have you considered hiding them with css?

I’m just curious, why this is the case?

Those aren’t just headers, those are tabs to the different sections of your profile preferences. Without them, users cannot change any of their own preferences.

It’s the customer’s wish, so I don’t know what he needs it for.
Can you tell me how to hide it with css?

You’d be better off telling the customer what @Lilly said above. The tabs serve an important purpose so users can navigate around their profile etc.

If this is something you really must do, you can hide them for non-staff (regular users, so mods and admins can see them), and you can chose which ones. I don’t recommend it unless you have special use case that dictates such.

Thanks a lot, I found thanks to the link an article that describes where to change the css. I did it all, it’s not hard, I just didn’t know where to customize it.

I don’t know how your site is set up, but if you are using local logins and a user needs to reset their password… they won’t be able to do that without the Security tab.

They also can’t change email notification settings with the Email tab, and so on. The other tabs provide customizability for each user as well, worth mentioning this to your customer.

Login to the site via sso only. Therefore, there is no password.
Mail notifications are disabled for everyone.
