Filter Member Loop to show only members of a particular group

    Hi. Is it possible to filter the primary member loop (eg the one that might normally be located at http://xyz.com/members) to show only members of a particular group?

    Here’s what I’ve tried….

    looking for documentation about this (in members-loop.php) and how to edit it… so far no luck
    <?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) ) :

    the approach described here: by Perywinkle a little over two years ago.

    and adding an “if statement” to <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); in members-loop.php. The if statement I tried adding was
    <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
    if( groups_is_user_member( bp_get_member_user_id() , 9) ) :

    So far… no luck. Have any of you managed to filter the main members loop to include only members of a particular group? If so, can you help point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    get group member IDs and then pass the IDs as a parameter to the loop using &include=

    That’s what made sense to me too but I’m not really clear on where to apply the filter… is the filter applying to

    <?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) )

    or is it applying to

    <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();

    (or somewhere else for that matter). I know it’s probably obvious. Just having a hard time figuring out where to apply the filter.

    Thanks for your help and speedy reply. I appreciate it.

    It’s not a filter, it’s an argument.

    Look at
    function bp_has_members in
    bp-members/bp-members-template.php

    You will see this argument
    'include' => false, // Pass a user_id or a list (comma-separated or array) of user_ids to only show these users

    So write some sql, something like :

    global $wpdb;
$group_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT user_id FROM $wpdb->bp_groups_members WHERE group_id = 9");
$group_ids = implode(',', $group_ids);
if ( bp_has_members( 'include=' . $group_ids ) )

    Awesome. Apologies for mixing terminology. Thanks so much for sending this. Makes perfect sense.

    Don’t put $wpdb in your template file. create a function in bp-custom.php

    then in template file place function and pass group id

    bp_get_group_member_id(‘9’);

    This way code can be used again on site if needed and not be deleted if you change themes

    can someone please walk me through this step by step with code and location? not that great at php.

    I’m after adding group filters to the Order by: list on members-loop page

    thank you so much

    Things have changed since 10 mounth !
    You can do this by reading this tutorial:
