hi @pws2015,

try this. Add snippets to bp-custom.php

First snippet is mandatory, second is an option. Note that hidden members activities and profiles stay public. The below code let you only hide users from the members directory.

// hide members on directory
function bpfr_hide_users_on_directory( $qs=false, $object=false ){
	
	// Id's to hide, separated by comma
	$excluded_user = '5,38,30'; 

	// hide to members & friends 
	if($object != 'members' && $object != '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','bpfr_hide_users_on_directory', 20, 2 );

// once hidden, we 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');

Sorry, i don’t understand what you write.
