I want to hide specific users from the “(BuddyPress) Recently Active Members” & “(BuddyPress) Members” widgets (latter one is most important for me), but I don’t want these users from the members directory. So what does the below code exactly do? Does it exclude users from members directory or the widgets? Or both?

<?php
// Remove admin from directory

add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','bpdev_exclude_users',20,2);
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
 //list of users to exclude
 
 $excluded_user='1';//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude
 
 if($object!='members')//hide for members only
 return $qs;
 
 $args=wp_parse_args($qs);
 
 //check if we are listing friends?, do not exclude in this case
 if(!empty($args['user_id']))
 return $qs;
 
 if(!empty($args['exclude']))
 $args['exclude']=$args['exclude'].','.$excluded_user;
 else
 $args['exclude']=$excluded_user;
 
 $qs=build_query($args);
 
 return $qs;
 
}

//Remove admin from member count

add_filter('bp_get_total_member_count','bpdev_members_correct_count');
function bpdev_members_correct_count($count){
$excluded_users_count=1; //change it to the number of users you want to exclude
return $count-$excluded_users_count;
}
?>
