Matter of fact, disregard my OP.

How can I just remove completely the "Add Filters" to the right of the News Feed Title?

I still want to re-order the sections, though.

Hi Jared Hungerford

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.Kindly please find my response to your inquiries below:

1. Which file do I need to alter to remove the "News Feed" section completely

->Unfortunately there is no setting for hide the news feed widget currently. However you can hide it by override the code bellow into your custom.css

.es-widget.es-widget-borderless {

    display: none;

}

2. change the ordering of how Friends, Suggested Friends, Groups, Events, etc are displayed?

->To achieve this you need to re position the EasySocial Sidebar by edit in the folder:
DIR:../components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/dashboard/default.php
cut the code on LINE 40

<?php echo $this->render('widgets' , SOCIAL_TYPE_USER , 'dashboard' , 'sidebarBottom'); ?>

and put it to the top which is below the LINE19

Hope this help

Hi,

I tried what you suggested but it didn't work. I just want to move the 'Friends' and 'Suggested Friends' move upward right between News Feed and Groups.

Hi Jared Hungerford,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Actually as stated in our policy we do not support for any customization. Maybe you can try to hide the newsfeed by edit the /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/dashboard/sidebar.feeds.php
and add the style="display:none"

<div class="es-widget es-widget-borderless" style="display:none">

on the line 14.

I just want to move the 'Friends' and 'Suggested Friends' move upward right between News Feed and Groups.

->This as well under customization request .Maybe the code is not exactly on the line 40, you can search the code above and put it to the top of the div. For you information this code will move all the "Your Friend", Online Friend and Suggestion together.

Have a nice day ahead

I was able to change this on the main dashboard successfully but I cannot seem to figure out how to do so on a user's profile page. Where is the echo string to cut/paste for the friends area of the sidebar??

am I looking at the correct file? components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.php

Hi Jared Hungerford,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply. Yes you're in the correct file Jared . If you are using another themes for example frosty you should customize it on the /themes/frosty as below:
components/com_easysocial/themes/frosty/profile/default.php

Hope this helps
