Hide my site link with css
Posted by on 2011-10-21
Want to hide my site link without disabling social features.
Well, the simplest way to do it is to use css:
#mp1_0_0_Anchor { display: none; }
If you want to hide my profile instead, just hide #mp1_0_1_Anchor:
#mp1_0_1_Anchor { display: none; }
As John and Vishal mentioned, it doesn’t work, because these IDs are generated dynamically. If you have to hide this link, you must use attribute selectors like:
.ms-MenuUIUL li[text='My Site'] { display: none;}
Be careful this cannot be used, the classes for pop up menus are generated dynamically on the page, and that class can be applied to a number of menus I assume depending on the order which they load on the page, which isnt the same every time, so for instance this hides something in the site actions menu, or the new button on a library sometimes.
You are totally right, John! I realized that too. Fortunately, I didn’t need that then. But while using that I saw that sometimes Site Actions -Edit Page disappeared. These IDs are really generated dynamically. Thanks for your comment. I’ll update my post.
Hi Anatoly. Thanks for the solution. but the problem we are facing one problem after implementing this.
Once we make this change and when login to the portal next time, the “Edit Page” link under site action menu is not getting displayed and the My Site Link is getting displyed. any suggestion?
Hi Vishal. Unfortunately we cannot rely on these IDs, as John in previous comment mentioned, because these IDs are generated dynamically. I’ll update my post. One possible solution would be use attribute selectors… Something like .ms-MenuUIUL li[text=’My Site’] { display: none;}
Thank you Anatoly, that worked perfectly in all browsers! I had problems with the first suggested solution, because it would hide other menu items, like “edit this page” from the site settings dropdown!
Hi, The amended solution does not work in IE7.

.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_0{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_1{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_2{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_3{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_4{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_8{
display:none;
}
.ms-welcomeMenu #mp1_0_9{
display:none;
}
these work for me.
Thank you for sharing your solution. Appreciate.
