[Resolved] How to Hide Admin accounts 2016?
- 
		I found this post from 2 years ago….is the only way to block admins from the members list, profile, and activity to edit the bp-custom.php file, or is there a new plugin or method? https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-admin-from-members-and-activity/ I do not know how to edit these files, I would probably break something…I look forward to a response/advice on how to move forward ty!

Check out this article: say what lol? There is this code posted by someone on this thread 2.5 years ago: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hide-certain-admins-as-being-online/ /* disable Recording Site Activity for Admins */ 
 add_action(“bp_loaded”,”bpdev_init_sm_mode”);
 function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
 if(is_super_admin())
 remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”);//id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
 }
 /* ——————————————– */But not sure if that is custom css, or if that is something that needs to be placed in the bp-custom.php file? Also, that code appears to only block admin activity, not profile, and members list…. Is there a way to do all of this via some custom CSS? That would obviously be the easiest way to solve this since there are no currently working plugins. Hi @semperaye Unfortunately, CSS isn’t a great solution here. To get this done properly, you will need to do 3 things: 1. Profile Either implement a redirect or respond with a 404 page not found when an admin profile is visited. 2. Member directory Use bp_parse_args()to filter the loop so that all admins are removed.3. Activity stream Again you can use bp_parse_args()to filter the loop so that all admins are removed.What happened to the plugin “BP Hide User” from r-a-y? I can’t find it anymore on wordpress.org, it did worke well. I saw that plugin a few weeks ago, tried to find it again, and now it’s gone… Here’s the best thing that works https://buddydev.com/buddypress/hiding-users-on-buddypress-based-site/ 
 Like a charmThank you @semperaye, @ericreynolds007, @im_a_marvel Cheers I couldn’t get the plugin from github to work. The instructions said to click the hide user button but there isn’t one. Note: Although that plugin from github isn’t working as described, it seems to have filtered my admins from my members list so I guess it worked somehow 😛 If it ends up not working, do we just copy and past the text from buddydev into customcss? This work okey –>: but, How I can Hide Admin from BuddyPress Widget?? —-> // 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 ); // 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 $activities; } add_action( 'bp_has_activities', 'bpfr_hide_admin_activity', 10, 2 ); // Remove admin from the member directory function bpdev_exclude_users($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');Solution: HIDE ADMIN FROM BP WIDGETS AND DIRECTORY This code is complementary for the other ==> So, full code: // Exclude Admin from Directories and BP Widgets add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'buddydev_exclude_users' ); function buddydev_exclude_users( $args ) { //do not exclude in admin if( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) { return $args; } $excluded = isset( $args['exclude'] )? $args['exclude'] : array(); if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) { $excluded = explode(',', $excluded ); } $user_ids = array( 1, ); // enter user ids here $excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids ); $args['exclude'] = $excluded; return $args; } // Deny access to admins profile.
