Turn features on or off

Last updated on Nov 05, 2026

Hide Courses, Events, Blog or Chat if your community doesn't use them.

Any Community Admin can do this. Groups, the feed and Members are always on.

When you turn a feature off, it leaves the menu, search and home page for everyone. Your content is kept. Turn the feature on again to see it.

Steps

  1. In Studio, go to Settings → Features.
  2. Click the switch next to the feature.
  3. To turn it off, confirm with Turn off. You see " is off."

Settings → Features, four switches

There is no Save changes button on this page. A change works at once. Turning a feature on needs no confirmation: you see " is on. Members see it again."

When a feature can't be turned off

A feature in use shows Locked on, and you can't use its switch.

Feature Can be turned off only when
Courses No course is published or archived, nobody is enrolled, and no plan or product sells a course or gives access to all courses.
Events No event is published or cancelled. Drafts are fine.
Blog No post is published or archived, and no plan or product sells blog posts or gives access to all posts.
Chat Always. Members can't send or read messages while it's off. Conversations come back when you turn it on.

You can still prepare drafts while Courses, Events or Blog is off.
