Here’s what I’m using in the interim.

Copy over /bp-default/blogs/blogs-loop.php to your child theme.

Modify the while line so it looks like:

<?php while ( bp_blogs() ) : bp_the_blog(); if(bp_get_blog_name() != "BLOG NAME YOU WANT TO EXCLUDE") : ?>

You’ll also have to modify the blog count and pagination count so it reflects the number of blogs.

You can do this by applying a filter to bp_get_total_blog_count. For the pagination count, you’ll need to duplicate the function and replace the existing one.

It’s not the best solution, but it gets the job done for now.

An “exclude” parameter, like you noted above, would be ideal.

Add to the “if” conditional.

<?php while ( bp_blogs() ) : bp_the_blog(); if(bp_get_blog_name() != "BLOG NAME YOU WANT TO EXCLUDE" && bp_get_blog_name() != "SECOND BLOG NAME TO EXCLUDE") : ?>

If you have a ton of blogs, you might want to use an array.

I submitted a trac ticket https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2099 that will allow you to filter the output of bp_has_blogs. Once that goes in, it’ll make this sort of thing a bit less hacky – you can actually set up an exclude array in a plugin, and filter the blog list accordingly.

Thanks, I needed this too.

Since we are on the topic of excluding blogs, is there a way to exclude blogs that have only 1-2 posts? I have several members adding a new blog and posting once of twice and then never again and I would rather not have these clutter the blog directory.

Thanks.

Yeah, I’d like to see what Kunal17 asks for too. If nobody has a something out there yet I’ll probably end up making a plugin, especially to stop the blogs with only the first default post showing up.
