I found this. May I made a feature enhancement request to add each of these code features to enable a check box in the users section of the admin panel? Having to manually add the ID of new users to hide isn’t practical: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-admin-from-members-and-activity/:

// 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’);

Re: Hiding admins from member list:

In looking back at all of these threads I realize we didn’t jot down the root path to the file we need to update with this code: $excluded_user=’1, 23, 267′;

Can someone provide the path to get to this file? I can’t seem to find it again.

example: wp-content/buddypress/bp-themes/otherfoldername/filename.php

Thank you but that doesn’t provide me the path the original file I was directed to update where I needed to add the ID numbers. I still need to know where that file lives.

For this new solution, what is the latest “official” complete code I should include in the new bp-custom.php file? The link you provided is asking me to create a new file if it didn’t exist. I did that adding it here in the plugins folder: public_html/wp-content/plugins

Including this code as a starting point:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
?>

Is the below the correct and complete code to use?

// 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’);
