New Control Over Your Community Tab Settings in GHL

GHL just made it easier to manage your community tab settings. You can now turn tabs on or off with a simple toggle inside your community settings. No need to edit code or use workarounds.

This update gives you direct control over your layout. If a tab isn’t useful, you can hide it. If you change your mind later, turn it back on. It’s that simple.

To adjust your community tab settings, head to Community → Settings → Show/Hide Tabs. You’ll see toggles for four tabs: Learning, Events, Leaderboard, and Members.

When you switch a tab off, it disappears from the navigation bar for everyone. There’s nothing else to publish or save. The change happens right away.

This is a small update, but it makes your community feel more organized and easier to use.  

This update to community tab settings gives you more control, but with a few rules. Not every tab can be turned off.

The Discussion and About tabs are always on. These two are locked in to keep your community usable and easy to navigate.

The other tabs are flexible. You can now hide the Learning, Events, Leaderboard, and Members tabs. If your community doesn’t use courses or live events, you can switch those off. If the leaderboard isn’t part of your setup, hide it.

All of this happens in your community tab settings under Community → Settings → Show/Hide Tabs. Just flip a toggle. The update shows right away.

It’s a clean way to remove tabs that don’t serve your members and keep the ones that do.

The new community tab settings give you a simple way to improve how people use your space. By hiding tabs you don’t need, you make things easier for your members.

When your layout is clean, people know where to go. If your community is all about learning, you can remove the tabs that don’t fit. If it’s more of a place to talk and connect, you can keep it focused on just the Discussions.

These community tab settings help you shape the experience. You’re not stuck with a preset layout anymore. You decide what matters based on how your group works.

This also makes life easier if you manage communities for clients. Different clients have different needs. Now you can adjust the community tab settings to match their setup without using workarounds or support tickets.

Simple control. Better structure. Cleaner layout. All from one place.

These community tab settings are live in your account right now. You don’t need to install anything or update your layout. Just go into your settings and start adjusting the tabs.

Using your community tab settings well can make a big difference in how your space feels and works. Here are a few tips to get more out of this feature:

• Keep only what you use. If your community doesn’t run events, turn off the Events tab. If no one checks the leaderboard, hide it. Your community tab settings should reflect how people actually use the space.
• Focus on your purpose. If the goal is learning, keep the Learning tab and remove the rest. If it’s for conversation, the Discussion tab might be all you need.
• Less is better. Clean layouts help people focus. Use your community tab settings to remove clutter and make the experience smoother.
• Review it often. As your group changes, your community tab settings should too. Add tabs when they become useful, and remove them when they’re not.

This is your layout. Use the community tab settings to keep it simple and clear for everyone.

If you’re just starting to explore community tab settings, you might have a few questions. Here are some quick answers to help you out:

These updates to community tab settings are simple, but they give you real control. Use them to keep things tidy and aligned with your goals.

The new community tab settings let you build a layout that fits how your group actually works. You no longer have to show tabs that don’t get used.

For agencies, it saves time. You can now adjust a client’s community layout without asking for help or adding tools. The settings are already there. Just use them.

Community tab settings are not just about looks. They help your members find what they need faster. When people are not distracted by extra tabs, they’re more likely to stay engaged.

The best part? Community tab settings are already live in your account. Go into your settings, take a look, and make the changes that fit your setup.

It only takes a minute, but it can make your whole community feel more organized and easier to use.
