You will need to edit 2 files, mainly

/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/avatar.php and cover.php

Then, remove the codes below,

						<li data-cover-select-button>

							<a href="javascript:void(0);"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_PHOTOS_SELECT_COVER' ); ?></a>

						</li>

				<li data-avatar-select-button>

					<a href="javascript:void(0);"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_PHOTOS_SELECT_AVATAR' ); ?></a>

				</li>

Removing these codes does not prevent the pointer from turning into a finger and launching the popup then clicked. Is that triggered somewhere else?

For avatar.php i removed the link this way

Replace this code

<a href="<?php echo $user->getAvatarPhoto() ? 'javascript:void(0);' : $user->getPermalink();?>" class="es-avatar es-avatar-large" 

		<?php echo $user->getAvatarPhoto() && $this->my->getPrivacy()->validate('photos.view', $user->getAvatarPhoto()->id, SOCIAL_TYPE_PHOTO, $user->id) ? 'data-es-photo="' . $user->getAvatarPhoto()->id . '"' : '';?>>

		<img data-avatar-image src="<?php echo $user->getAvatar( SOCIAL_AVATAR_SQUARE );?>" alt="<?php echo $this->html( 'string.escape' , $user->getName() );?>">

	</a>

with just the plain avatar

	<div class="es-avatar es-avatar-large">

		<img data-avatar-image src="<?php echo $user->getAvatar( SOCIAL_AVATAR_SQUARE );?>" alt="<?php echo $this->html( 'string.escape' , $user->getName() );?>">

	</div>

i didn't have a chance to look at the cover but should be pretty much the same idea.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot and report back.

Mist,

Your solution definitely works for the profile picture, but it appears that the cover popup is implemented in a different way. And, looking at themes/profile/cover.php file I cannot even see where the link is actually generated. I could use a pointed in the right direction here.

Hello John,

Remove this from the cover.php file somewhere around line 15

<?php echo $cover->photo_id ? 'data-es-photo="' . $cover->photo_id . '"' : '';?>

Thanks Mark for the solution .

John, also for the cover area, remove the cursor : pointer declaration from the css, override the default css with the one below

body div#fd.es .es-profile-cover {cursor:auto !important;}
