Please take a minute to read this post: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/
Short answer: /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Ok so it goes in the plugins folder alone? Not in the buddypress folder?

Place it in bp-custom.php
Then it won’t matter which theme you use.

Use this filter hook: apply_filters( 'bp_members_signup_custom_column', '', $column_name, $signup_object );
Found at the bottom of: buddypress\bp-members\classes\class-bp-members-list-table.php

You need to look into setting up a template overload of the files that create those pages:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

I’ve not used visual composer, only siteorigin so far, with site origin you create a grid of columns and rows and you can insert any widget into any Page Builder block

Just guessing…
Instead of a filter, try using the action hook:

add_action( 'bp_legacy_theme_ajax_querystring', 'sbpp04_hide_from_ajax_search', 50, 2 );

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_ajax_querystring/

This function will redirect everyone, other than site administrators, to the home page when they try and access the members directory.
Put it in bp-custom.php.

function grim_members_directory() {

	if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() )
		bp_core_redirect( site_url() );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'grim_members_directory' );

Before you do that, check out my page on setting up users, see if that gives you any ideas:

Hi there,

You might like to check out my page on setting up users

http://buddyuser.com/setting-up-site-members-with-buddypress

This includes details of adding additional profile fields to the users profile. Also check out the section “Installing BP” in my site, I’m sure it will give you a lot of useful information.

It’s not entirely clear what you are asking. BuddyPress does not install an “About Us” section. If that’s what you are trying to remove you are in the wrong place.

Hi David

I’ve moved this topic to Your BuddyPress.

BuddyPress doesn’t let you change username but there are plugins available that will let you do that.

Hi @grimbot,

Members are the heart of BuddyPress. So it is important to understand that members are core and that anything related to them is quite “delicate” to handle.

In your case, removing the member directory doesn’t mean to remove the page called members, because this page is BP territory and, like i said, it is core. If you remove it, you avoid BP to work.

First thing you can do is to remove any access to this member page on your theme.
Go to appearance > menu and uncheck “members” from the BP menu.
