Unrelated to my earlier posts, I was doing some debugging on another plugin, and was getting a lot of warnings and deprecated messages regarding a couple of BP functions, most of which I have been able to track down in my code; however one in particular persists, as follows;
PHP Deprecated: Function bp_core_get_user_domain is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 12.0.0! Use bp_members_get_user_url() instead
It would be useful for me, and I am sure others, if the full list of deprecated functions is made available, as well as anything that uses them, because several of the ones I was using were not the exact function appearing in the debug log, but changing them (because I thought they might be the ones triggering the warning or deprecated message) did cut the number of messages in the debug log. I still don’t know for certain though. It would also be useful to have a complete list of available functions and what they do, particularly those that would be commonly used, all in one place – if this is available already, I can’t find it, so apologies if that is the case. Previous changes, inconsistencies and the sheer amount of old information that is still out there, including these forums, makes it extremely difficult to find the right function in the right circumstance, which I assumed, perhaps wrongly, was a part of why the new Buddypress is needed.

Can confirm this looks odd.

Alle leden 2.651 (all members -> of groups ?)
Mijn vrienden 3

Sorteren: Alfabetisch

Ledenoverzicht
Je bekijkt 1 – 20 van 3.325 leden (all users )

Dashboard :
Alle (3.325) -> all users
Participant (2.651) -> buddypress groups participants.

If i search members (as admin) for a non group participant it does show up.

However logging in as normal user (member of 2 groups) the total count is 2651 and non group participants don’t show up, which makes perfect sence.
However sorting alfabetcally indeed returns the number 3.325. And searching a non participant does now show up.

Something seems wrong indeed.

Hi,

Why ? Don’t know!

Have you an unique page for “members” and “groups” ?
Have you permalinks activated (and not “default”) ?
Are you on a regular or multisite install ?
Have you searched the forum before asking ?

[Resolved] Wrong member count

Hi, struggling to get any of the the code in post #190874 to work. I have created a bp-custom.php file which I have uploaded to the root of the buddpress folder and my code looks like this:

<?php
// deny access to admins profile. User is redirected to the homepage
function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {
	global $bp; 
	if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
		wp_redirect( home_url() );
	exit;
	endif;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );

// 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');
// hide admin's activities from all activity feeds
function bpfr_hide_admin_activity( $a, $activities ) {	
	
	// ... but allow admin to see his activities!
	if ( is_site_admin() )	
		return $activities;	
	
	foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {	
		// ID's to exclude, separated by commas. ID 1 is always the superadmin
		if ( $activity->user_id == 1  ) {			
			
			unset( $activities->activities[$key] );			
			
			$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;			
			$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;			
					$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;				
		}		
	}		
	// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items 	
	$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );		
	$activities->activities = $activities_new;	
	
	return $activities;
	
}
add_action( 'bp_has_activities', 'bpfr_hide_admin_activity', 10, 2 );
?>

Not sure what I am doing wrong. All help gratefully received! Thanks

Most likely the reason for that discrepancy is because the users may have activated their account but have yet to login for the first time. I think this is default behavior but I could be wrong. I have noticed they do not get added to the directory until they login the first time.

>how is this ‘too complicated’?
Can you code it?
How would you explain it to membership?

>the user doesn’t know that they are in a sandbox
lol, and that won’t lead to a flurry of support submissions?

For public sites, there has to be a balance between driving membership numbers and ‘protecting’ existing members.
An abuse / spam flag system strikes that balance & members will recognize it & admins only deal with flags. If admins handle the flags in a timely fashion, the membership response will be very positive.

Your idea is kinda interesting, but dev’ing a generic solution will be impossible.
If you release it as a plugin, damn near everyone using it will ask for some kind of tweak.

That said, prove me wrong, please!

@emeraldryan Their advice was wrong, why come here, what are we to suggest? You have a huge user base they are saying their server config can’t handle the processes being spawned /run   or timing out trying to load those members, this is a server issue, and even if it’s a case that BP may not be well written in terms of caching member objects that for the moment is how it works.

Are these all genuine members as it is a surprisingly large number, few independent social sites do truly ever get anywhere near those sorts of numbers.
