# Anonymous giving not working in profile setting

 * When a donor changes the profile setting to “private”, the name etc still shows
   up in the “recent donations” widget and also the “donor wall” widget used in 
   Elementor.
 * I should mention that if the “Make this an anonymous donation” box is checked
   for a new donation, then it works fine.
 * Grateful for help with this.

 * Hello [@aracaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aracaro/),
 * Glad you reached out, happy to help.
 * It appears you’ve encountered a bug from an older donor profile setting – “Anonymous
   Giving”. Currently as you’ve seen, the donations themselves can be anonymous,
   however, the donor’s Anonymous Giving settings do not make donations themselves
   anonymous.
 * We have a bug report logged for that here:
   [https://givewp.featureos.app/p/anonymous-giving-should-work](https://givewp.featureos.app/p/anonymous-giving-should-work)
 * While I do not have an ETA, I’ve added this support ticket to the internal comments
   so that you’ll be notified when there’s an update.
 * I hope that helps to clear things up – let us know if you have further questions!
   🙂

 * Hi [@gscoolidge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gscoolidge/) ,
 * Thank you for your reply! FYI, the bug report mentions that “information is still
   public for the donations I made”, even after checking the box in the profile.
 * But from my testing, the info is still public even for donations made _from that
   point forward_, unless the box is checked on the donation popup. This can give
   a false sense of anonymity to the donor, if they make the setting in the profile,
   and don’t check the donor wall.
 * Is there a way to hide that setting in the profile until the issue is solved?

 * Hello again,
 * Thanks for the feedback.
 * Regarding hiding the section, I have a code snippet for you that is what you 
   need to go about this. It hides everything from that section. You’ll need to 
   tinker with it further if you’d like additional spacing or layout changes, but
   this will get you started.
 * ========================================
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action('give_embed_head', function() {        echo '                <style>						/* Hide Anonymous Giving Elements */						#give-donor-dashboard > div > div.give-donor-dashboard-desktop-layout__tab-content > div > fieldset, #give-donor-dashboard > div > div.give-donor-dashboard-desktop-layout__tab-content > div > .give-donor-dashboard-divider, #give-donor-dashboard > div > div.give-donor-dashboard-desktop-layout__tab-content > div > .give-donor-dashboard-heading, #give-donor-dashboard > div > div.give-donor-dashboard-desktop-layout__tab-content > div > button:nth-child(48)						{ display: none; }                </style>        ';});
       ```
   
 * ========================================
 * Regarding code snippets in general: we recommend adding PHP code snippets to 
   your website via a code snippet plugin. We use this one [https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/),
   however, there are many available that can work.
 * Also, if you need assistance implementing custom PHP code on your website we 
   have this guide: [https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/adding-custom-functions-to-your-wordpress-website/](https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/adding-custom-functions-to-your-wordpress-website/).
 * **Please note that this code snippet is provided as an example of how you can
   extend GiveWP with code. It’s up to you to implement and customize to your liking.
   We cannot provide support for custom code on your website, only the code that
   we create and distribute.**
 * Have a great rest of your day/evening! 🙂
