PS, I just added that code and it broke my site with the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’ in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 7

[beforeplastic]

Thank you but that doesn’t provide me the path the original file I was directed to update where I needed to add the ID numbers. I still need to know where that file lives.

For this new solution, what is the latest “official” complete code I should include in the new bp-custom.php file? The link you provided is asking me to create a new file if it didn’t exist. I did that adding it here in the plugins folder: public_html/wp-content/plugins

Including this code as a starting point:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
?>
—————————–
Is the below the correct and complete code to use?

// Remove admin from the member directory
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){

$excluded_user=’1′; // Id’s to remove, separated by comma

if($object != ‘members’ && $object != ‘friends’)// hide admin to members & friends
return $qs;

$args=wp_parse_args($qs);

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;

}
add_action(‘bp_ajax_querystring’,’bpdev_exclude_users’,20,2);

// once admin is removed, we must recount the members !
function bpfr_hide_get_total_filter($count){
return $count-1;
}
add_filter(‘bp_get_total_member_count’,’bpfr_hide_get_total_filter’);

Re: Hiding admins from member list:

In looking back at all of these threads I realize we didn’t jot down the root path to the file we need to update with this code: $excluded_user=’1, 23, 267′;

Can someone provide the path to get to this file? I can’t seem to find it again.

example: wp-content/buddypress/bp-themes/otherfoldername/filename.php

[beforeplastic]

We have to update these two lines of code for each user correct?

$excluded_user=’1′;
add_action(‘bp_ajax_querystring’,’bpdev_exclude_users’,20,2);

[beforeplastic]

I found this. May I made a feature enhancement request to add each of these code features to enable a check box in the users section of the admin panel? Having to manually add the ID of new users to hide isn’t practical: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-admin-from-members-and-activity/:

// Remove admin from the member directory
function bpdev_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){

$excluded_user=’1′; // Id’s to remove, separated by comma

if($object != ‘members’ && $object != ‘friends’)// hide admin to members & friends
return $qs;

$args=wp_parse_args($qs);

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;

}
add_action(‘bp_ajax_querystring’,’bpdev_exclude_users’,20,2);

// once admin is removed, we must recount the members !
function bpfr_hide_get_total_filter($count){
return $count-1;
}
add_filter(‘bp_get_total_member_count’,’bpfr_hide_get_total_filter’);

PS. Maybe hide by member type? or in the admin panel is there a checkbox? When I check ” Exclude user from Author-sitemap” the member still shows up under members.

We put the PHP back to 5.6 and it started working again with only this one error on Groups sub-pages:
https://www.beforeplastic.com/groups/shop-owners/

Well that I have found… 🙂

[beforeplastic]

FYI we tried putting it back to 7.1 and it broke the site again:

Error on the front end:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to MC4WP_Form_Listener::listen() must be an instance of MC4WP_Request, instance of MC4WP_Request given, called in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/class-form-manager.php on line 92 and defined in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/class-form-listener.php:27 Stack trace: #0 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/class-form-manager.php(92): MC4WP_Form_Listener->listen(Object(MC4WP_Request)) #1 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/class-form-manager.php(59): MC4WP_Form_Manager->init_form_listener() #2 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): MC4WP_Form_Manager->initialize(”) #3 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #4 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /home/mysite/public_html in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/class-form-listener.php on line 27

and now this error on the back end in WP-admin:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-component.php:281 Stack trace: #0 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): BP_Activity_Component->setup_admin_bar(”) #1 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-dependency.php(143): do_action(‘bp_setup_admin_…’) #4 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bp_setup_admin_bar(Object(WP_Admin_Bar)) #5 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #6 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #7 /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/admin-bar.php(83): do_action_ref_array(‘admin_bar_menu’, Array) #8 /home/mysite in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-component.php on line 281

I guess 7.1 isn’t fixed yet.

Thank you. FYI I am still having issues:

See ticket I just submitted to my hosting company and their response.

Hello,

I am getting this error:

Warning: include(): Filename cannot be empty in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/themes/rehub/buddypress/groups/single/index.php on line 14

Warning: include(): Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php56/pear’) in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/themes/rehub/buddypress/groups/single/index.php on line 14

on this page https://www.beforeplastic.com/groups/shop-owners/

Wondering if this is connected to the support ticket submitted yesterday.

Thanks so much

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our Help Desk center!

Indeed, this is caused by changing the PHP version as it was done in the previous ticket. It seems that by solving one problem another one arises and this might mean that something in your website is misconfigured. I recommend you to seek the assistance of a professional developer to find the weak link in the coding of BuddyPress.

If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us again.

My hope is that the BuddyPress developers are already working on a fix to this problem.
Thanks so much!

On a profile page / viewed blog results, the previous entries link at the bottom of the results page takes you to a 404 page. Would this be a buddypress or buddyforms issue?
