Hide Admin from site members

[angelgallegos]

Hi,

Do you know how can we hide Admin from member loop (most recent, new members and most popular) on homepage and in search results?

Also, how can we prevent users to see Admin profile?

Thanks.

Hi,
To hide Admin profile you could add this snippet to your sweetdate-child/functions.php:

COPY CODE

/* Hide admin */
add_action('bp_init', 'kleo_private_admin');
function kleo_private_admin(){
    global $bp;
    if(is_super_admin())
    {
        remove_action("wp_head","bp_core_record_activity"); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
        //then remove the last activity, if present
        delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_activity');
    }
}

add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','kleo_exclude_users',20,2);
function kleo_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false)
{
    //list of users to exclude

    $excluded_user='1';//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude

    if($object!='members')//hide for members only
    return $qs;

    $args=wp_parse_args($qs);

    //check if we are listing friends?, do not exclude in this case
    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;
}

Hi,

It seems to work to hide Admin from that members loops except popular members, where it is still appearing.

Also, it appears on groups, because Admin create groups… It could be solved if normal users when trying to view admin profile are redirected to their profiles, how can I do that?

Thanks again.

Hi,
This shows a 404 error on the admin page:

COPY CODE

// Hide admin profile pages
add_action( 'wp', 'hide_profile_template', 1 );
function hide_profile_template() {
global $bp; 
    if(bp_is_profile AND $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 AND $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
        global $wp_query;
        $wp_query->set_404();
        status_header(404);
        include(locate_template('404.php'));
        exit;
    endif;
}

For groups just create the groups with another user.
Cheers

Hi,

I get an unknown error and I have to restore my sweetchild theme functions.php when I try to add the second code (Admin 404).

Do you know why?

Thanks again, awesome work!

[SQadmin]

Hi,
I have modified the above file. The editor transformed some characters.

Hey!

It works now! Thanks! 😉

I added the administration code with perfect results, did just what I wanted, I was wondering if this code can be adapted to hide users/members without a paid membership? Which is a good feature for sites that have paid memberships for showing profiles.

[mpaxton]

What would keep the above code from working? I have adapted it to the sweetdate_child theme functions.php, which is all the code that is in that file, other than the standard comments. After doing so, the administrators are still showing in the general member search.

[SQadmin]

Hi,
That code hides only the admin with user ID = 1 by default
You need to modify this to match your ids:
$excluded_user=’1′;//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude

How can I remove the admin account from the total member count? If I have 2 members (admin and a free member) it shows 2 members, even though the admin profile is blocked. How can I remove the admin profile so it only says 1 member?

[SQadmin]

Hi,
That is a default Buddypress function: bp_total_member_count() that gets all members

Many Thanks

[SQadmin]

Hi, We checked and the admin doesn’t appear. Make sure you login as that admin user and have the codes added to your sweetdate-child/functions.php

The functions.php file in the sweetdate-child/functions.php, does it need to be blank, or a copy of the functions.php from the sweetdate/ folder?

Also I am seeing the admin photo and profile in the widget that shows (Newest, Active, Popular). I see the photo and profile in the popular, but not in the active.

[Abe]

Hi, the functions.php should be blank, just as you have it when you install the child theme. That widget is buddypress default. Try searching a solution on buddypress forums

This fix does not hide the admin user from the “Quick profile navigation” for me.

[collandi]

It works fine with the Members list – but not in the widgets:
– who is online
and
– Recently active members
How can I hide the admin from these widgets?

[Abe]

Those widgets come from Buddypress and we can’t edit them. Try to find a solution on Buddypress forums
