This is really odd. I must have had something cached, because it it working now. Hmmmm.

I guess I’ll keep an eye on it, but it does seem to be working. Thanks a million!!!

Thanks for the code and instructions. Unfortunately, it is still not working. Here is exactly what I did:
1. Copied the code.
2. Removed the code I had in the functions.php file and pasted the new code in it.
3. Reverted my member-loop.php file to it’s original state, free from any customizations.
4. Logged into my site
5. Went to the members list.

Result:
I am still seeing the Administrator and Subscriber users.

Any other ideas or am I doing something wrong?

Any one have any suggestions?

I am still having this problem and REALLY need a solution. I’m not a developer so ca anyone walk me through what I need to do?

so far I have added this to my functions.php

// to exclude only defined roles in the Buddypress Members LOOP

function exclude_by_role($exclude_roles) {

$memberArray = array();

if (bp_has_members()) :
while (bp_members()) : bp_the_member();
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
$user_role = $user->roles[0];
foreach ($exclude_roles as $exclude_role) {
if ($exclude_role==$user_role) {
array_push($memberArray, $user->ID);
break;
}
}
endwhile;
endif;

$theExcludeString=implode(",",$memberArray);

return $theExcludeString;
}

Then added this to my member-loop.php

 
$excluded_roles = array ('administrator', 'author', 'subscriber'); // this can be any roles you have set up
	if (bp_has_members( 'exclude=' . exclude_by_role($excluded_roles) . '&' . bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : 

Unfortunately, no luck. It is not excluding any of the three roles noted above.

The Code from “SOLVED: Limit Members Loop by Profile Fields” seem easy to implement. I added this to my function.php

// to exclude only defined roles in the Buddypress Members LOOP

function exclude_by_role($exclude_roles) {

$memberArray = array();

if (bp_has_members()) :
while (bp_members()) : bp_the_member();
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
$user_role = $user->roles[0];
foreach ($exclude_roles as $exclude_role) {
if ($exclude_role==$user_role) {
array_push($memberArray, $user->ID);
break;
}
}
endwhile;
endif;

$theExcludeString=implode(",",$memberArray);

return $theExcludeString;
}

I then added this to my member-loop.php

<? $excluded_roles = array ('administrator', 'author', 'subscriber'); // this can be any roles you have set up
	if (bp_has_members( 'exclude=' . exclude_by_role($excluded_roles) . '&' . bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : ?>

Unfortunately, it still is not excluding any of the specified roles. I took a look at the second example, but not sure where to put the code. Any suggestions?
