Hey Steve,

The "invite friends" is only available on invite only group. If this is removed, there's no way to invite people to the group

Should you want to remove this, edit the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/groups/item.header.php and remove the codes below:

			<?php if ($group->isMember()) { ?>

			<div>

				<a class="btn btn-block btn-es btn-sm" href="javascript:void(0);" data-es-group-invite>

					<i class="fa fa-paper-plane-o mr-5"></i>

					<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_GROUPS_INVITE_FRIENDS');?>

				</a>

			</div>

			<?php } ?>
