@famous You can limit who views the members directory page to the Site/Super Admin only by surrounding the members directory section using is_super_admin https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_super_admin then either echo message that the section is restricted or just redirect non-Admin users to another page if visitors try to use the members slug in your site.

Hi there,

I´ve added the code in the functions.php of my child-theme.
In the “Who´s online”-widget, I still see the super admins. Any ideas to hide them in the widget?
Thank you!
Cheers
Marco

If your adding php code I hope you have made a child theme as @philipstancil did because that is the proper way. I would never add custom code to a parent theme’s functions.php because if you update the theme then it may get overwritten. Anyway, make sure whenever you add code to functions.php it always needs to be between opening and closing php tags like this:

<?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;
}
?>

@aces

Yes! Thank you, it works. 😀

@ishanna

Could your problem be a copy/paste error?

You appear to be using ‘ and ’ – they should all be '

Hallo @sbrajesh !

I tried use code:

add_action(‘bp_friends_setup_nav’,'bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self’);

function bpdev_custom_hide_friends_if_not_self(){
if(bp_is_my_profile()|| is_super_admin())
return ;

bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘friends’);

}

I copied and pasted the code into the ‘bp_custom.php’ file but it did not work for me.
I’m new to wordpress, html, php and css but I seem to find my way til now. Some advise please? I really need this option to work and I can’t find a plugin that cover this.

Kind regards,

@merosler

Crazy that we both found this old thread within 12 hours of each other. I got it working with this code:

// 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;
}

In the latest BuddyPress – 1.9 – i want to hide the admin bar but keep it for WP site users (editors, admins) that aren’t BP users? Is that possible?

While very doable, this will require custom coding.
You can contact me at PhiloPress

You need to state which versions of WP & BP you use.

You want to ‘hide’ the profile page for a member who hasn’t paid their dues?
What should happen if that page is accessed by that member or another member?
Redirect? Custom message page ?

If ‘paid dues’ is a boolean, then it’s easy to write a function.
Where is that boolean stored?

Does that member still appear on the Members page? In the Activity stream?

iow. you need to be more specific about the behaviour that you want.

You can download a plugin like Theme My Login — it automatically redirects logged out/non-registered users to a log-in page with your site’s style.

*My theme also… haha sorry for bad grammar

Hey,

If you go to Dashboard Settings > Buddypress > Settings, then the first option is ‘Show the Toolbar for logged out users’. Just uncheck it.

My theme is also has a setting for the login toolbar, so you may want to check out your theme settings.

I hope it helps!

Hi, i put the code in my theme funktions.php but superadmin is still visible in memberslist.

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 searching for friends list etc?, do not exclude in this case
if(!empty($args[‘user_id’])||!empty($args[‘search_terms’]))
return $qs;

if(!empty($args[‘exclude’]))
$args[‘exclude’]=$args[‘exclude’].’,’.$excluded_user;
else
$args[‘exclude’]=$excluded_user;

$qs=build_query($args);

return $qs;

}

Iam using WP: 3.5.1 and BP: 1.7.2 with the buddyboss-theme.

you guys are just awesome.
I have a feature request. I searched for the same using Google and almost across all the buddypress related support forum and tried all the codes but the thing is not working for me, I want to hide the admin activities to appear on my site, but it is not working, if possible, can you add a feature to hide all the activity of any particular user if he wants to including his/her online status.

i’m not using that one i’m using this one:

<?php

//hide superadmin

add_action("plugins_loaded","bpdev_init_sm_mode");
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action("wp_head","bp_core_record_activity"); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}

?>

In functions.php file of your current theme 😛
