Any update on on this?

Putting this in the functions or bp-custom.php files did not work.

I finally managed to get the admin and any other user excluded from the members directory by modifying the bp_had_members query that was already in my members-loop.php file.

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ).’&exclude=1,3,25′ . ‘&type=alphabetical&per_page=30’ ) ) : ?> <!– &exclude= user_ids of the people you want to exclude –>

By adding just this, it also removed the users from the total members count.

Note: I do not use friends or activity feeds on my site, so I have no idea if it hides from them, but I suppose it wouldn’t.

I have been looking high and low for the answer to this with my limited PHP knowledge… and wanted to share it back so other people could learn from it too.

And credit where it is due, this post led me to the answer.

This helped me immensely while trying to hide the admin user from the member’s directory.

Thank you!

Thank you! This was exactly my problem.

Did you find another plugin like firewall to use, or a fix for the plugin?
