Exclude members from Member's Directory

[themeforest]

Hi: Can you recommend how I may exclude certain member type from the Member’s Directory?

Here for example, I want to exclude ‘administrators’ and ‘group leaders’ from showing up on this list – and only allow those with ‘administrator’ and ‘group leaders’ with access to the full list.

google ‘exclude members from buddypress directory’. This is a common request in the buddypress forums. If you get stuck, hit me up and I’ll see if I can help.

hi sharmstr – thanks! i reviewed the forums and found one guidance that seemed to work for many. Here for example, meg@info suggested an easy solution, however, I get an error message when I run it. Source

Basically, I add this code to functions.php :

https://gist.github.com/dzmounir/8285459

the author noted no need to edit any template files and to just change the query by putting the role ids to hide.
$excluded_roles = array( ‘administrator’, ‘subscriber’ );

however, I’m thinking this file has custom code to make the awesome Kleo theme 🙂
Can you suggest where I can include the above?

you’re the best! thanks @sharmstr!! Putting it in kelo-child worked 🙂

No problem. Dont ever modify files in the Kleo directory. If you need to, copy the file you need to modify to the kleo-child directory. None of those files will be touched during updates.
