After trawling and trawling I have not been able to find a solution to this - I just want to remove the field that asks a user their gender, on their user page.

 

I have found what seems to be the relevant code in register.php and profile.php in the K2 templates, but commenting the section out does not remove the field. In fact I don't seem to be able to make any changes to the user page at all.

 

I have downloaded and installed the User Extended Fields plugin (which is great!) but doesn't provide an option to do anything to the gender field.

 

Any help?

 

IN components/com_k2/templates/registar.php

look for

            <!-- K2 attached fields -->        <tr>          <td><label id="gendermsg" for="gender"><?php echo JText::_( 'Gender' ); ?></label></td>          <td><?php echo $this->lists; ?></td>        </tr>        <tr>

comment it out.

Thanks William, but that's exactly what I did and it doesn't affect the user page at all. I've searched for all other instances of the gender field but am unable to find whatever it is that my site is pulling from.
 

send a link to the site if its live

Hi Anika,

 

Maybe you've got a K2 template overriding in your Joomla html template folder. Just check this folder for a 'register.php' file :

 

templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2

That was it! I did have a K2 template going. Once I commented that section out, all was well.

 

Many thanks Oliver and William!
