    I want to disable the messages and the notifications options of the USER theme object.
    I have searched the doc and have found nothing on this subject. Only the list of parameters of the theme object.
    Nothing in the settings menu seems to manage this.

    I've tried deleting the activity feed page (which I don't need in our case) and it does not help.
    I've tried deleting the associated items of the list found in the user.ascx file, but this causes an error in DNN.

    There is surely an option to deactivate this. I'm using DNN 9.6. Where is it?
    This is driving me crazy

    Thank you in advance!

      Did you try

       < dnn:USER ID="dnnUser" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" />

        Yes this is how it is set up at this moment.

            Bernard,

            have a look at the DnnBootsterV2 theme by Geoff Barlow, the file /layouts/topbar-user-functions.ascx could lead in the right direction.

            [...]

            {dnn:USER ID="dnnUserNotifications" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" CssClass="notifications" /}

            [...]

            {dnn:USER ID="dnnUserMessages" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" CssClass="messages" /}

            [...]

            {dnn:USER ID="dnnUserProfile" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" CssClass="profile" /}

            Replace { by < and } by >.

            Happy DNNing!
            Michael

              Hello Michael,

              Thank you for your answer.
              I'm perplexed. Because when I use the USER tag, it renders all these things, plus the avatar div.

              In his template, he has 3 different calls to the USER tag. And he only switches IDs and classes. I've tried it in my template, in case there was some undocumented events happening when using these IDs, but it doesn't work for me.

              Here is what I tried in my theme:
              < dnn:USER ID="dnnUser" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" />
              < dnn:USER ID="dnnUserMessages" runat="server" LegacyMode="false" CssClass="messages" />

              I only get the USER tag rendered twice.

              The solution I have for now is to hide the unwanted items via css with a display none.

              #login .userNotifications, #login .userMessages, #login .userProfileImg {
              display:none;
              }

                Follow up information.
                I just saw that this is also the solution in the dnn booster theme.
                I found this in the dnnbooster.css file
                https://github.com/dnncon...nnbootster.css 

                .dnnbooster header .topbar .general-functions li .message-holder .buttonGroup .userDisplayName {display: none; }
                .dnnbooster header .topbar .general-functions li .message-holder .buttonGroup .userProfileImg {display: none; }
                .dnnbooster header .topbar .general-functions li .message-holder .buttonGroup .userNotifications {display: none; }

                  As Timo said, try LegacyMode="true". He mis-typed the first time

                    Oh! I had skipped Timo's reply. Thanks you for making me notice Joe!

                    Sorry Timo! :) You were right, it worked!
                    With legacymode="true", the notifications, messages and avatar divs do not appear.

                    Thank you all for you help!
