Hide own profile

WordPress version 5.7.2
BuddyPress version 8.0.0 (Legacy)

My website is still not public, that’s why I don’t send a link, but you can view a sceenshot regarding the issue: https://gofile.io/d/bBBHNU

When a user makes a member search, the first search result he gets is always his own profile. I might be weird, but when I want to search for OTHER members, I am not particularly keen on finding my own profile as a search result, since I already know me 😀 Anyway: How can I stop this nonsense? Is there a code snippet which I can use to ‘hide own profile’ or something?

Hi @veshop,

Which theme are you using?

Hi @niftythree,

using Gwangi, support is not always the most helpful though and as I might get help somewhere else faster, I am searching.

Hi @veshop,

You’re in luck. The Gwangi theme actually has the option to do exactly this in their latest version, so this should be a simple fix for you. Go to Appearance > Customise > BuddyPress > Members Directory > check the “Hide myself” box and Publish the change and you should be all done!

Best of luck.

Hello @niftythree,

you made my day! 🙂 Never in a million years would I have found this by myself 😀 Thanks so much!

Have a nice day!
