BuddyPress.org

I am creating a social website for many colleges, and created a new group for all of the colleges (roughly 91 right now). Since I created the group, I was auto-assigned as the administrator of it. I don’t want my account accessible or visible to anyone, as I am not attending that college. I have used the script as follows to remove myself from the members list (a list of all members on the buddypress site, regardless of what group they are in):

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;
 
}

This works great, it completely removes me from the loop, but if you click on a group page, my name will still appear in that loop. I am trying to make my account completely invisible, so this is only half way there.

I used the following code to make my profile not viewable, but my name still appears, but when you click it you get 404. I want to keep this implemented for the future, so it’s like I don’t exist:

add_action( 'wp', 'hide_profile_template', 1 );
function hide_profile_template() {
global $bp; 
    if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
        global $wp_query;
        $wp_query->set_404();
        status_header(404);
        include(locate_template('404.php'));
        exit;
    endif;
}

I’ve been adding this code to a new plugin that I named simply “Hide Admin,” if that is relevant at all. I chose to do this opposed to using the functions.php file to simply make it easier to toggle, in case I ever decide to make myself visible in the future.

I’ve done lots of Googling, and have also attempted to edit the groups-loop file to excluse user-id 1, but it either breaks it completely or simply does not work.

I’m really at a loss here, I’d appreciate the help! Thanks!
