Hi! Welcome to our forums!

Unfortunately I was not able to find a way to disable the block at system level.

However, there is a “hacky” way to just hide the button for users, so they’ll not be able to block each other easily.

You need to add a custom css.

Go to Admin > Layout > Custom Css, and add the following:

button[title="Block"]{
display:none;
}

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a new problem on this topic, in the mobile application if the button to block a user can be displayed. How could I remove that option on a mobile phone?

Thanks

Hi! That’s not possible with the mobile :grimacing:

The CSS change will only affect desktop and browser versions.
