BuddyPress

Is there an obvious way to hide the Admin user from Buddypress (members, etc.)?

I’ve renamed my admin account to get around this. However, i’d like to get a way of hiding the bbpress forum user account for the user listing on the home page. Andy could we get a filter added in for this?

Bumping this because I’m curious about the same thing DJPaul mentioned. The need to create a random account for bbPress is fine, but it’s pointless having it listed with the BuddyPress members when it’s not really one.

Any suggestions?

There’s something like this in the works, but it won’t be available for a few months yet.

Any update on this?

I noticed this topic is marked as resolved. How can I enable this?

Still curious about this one. Can we hide the Admin throughout BuddyPress activity sitewide?

I’m not sure if it hides activity, but I heard a trick to “hiding” admins from the member list was to change their status in the database of the user to “99″ and that prevents it from showing in the member’s list.

@scotm what are you doing on your BP site with the admin user to generate activity which you don’t want in the activity stream?

@nuprn1 did you do a plugin to hide the admin account from the members directory, or was that someone else?

@DJPaul Any activity that the Admin carries out in my opinion should be hidden. Starting a Group, a forum topic, etc. In my case I am creating a number of groups for members to join and I’d like to hide all of that activity.

@DJPaul @scotm – I believe @sbrajesh did a plugin to hide admin stuff… let me see if I can find it:

Saw that one…premium.

@scotm – if you read the end of that post, there’s a free solution noted by Brajesh.

Tried it, errors.

The snippet only works on WPMU.

If you’re using standard WP, replace is_site_admin() with if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) (thanks Brajesh).

Also, you could try adding the function in your theme’s functions.php (omit the add_action line).
