Using Buddypress. What is the recommended way to hide specific accounts from appearing in the Members Directory. The two scenarios would be:
1. hiding admin accounts from appearing on a member directory search results page
2. Have two PMPro membership levels. Basic account, you don’t show up on a member directory search results page. For the Premium account, you do show up in search results.

Is there a plugin that might help with either or both of these scenarios?

Hello, for the admin:
Add this to child theme functions.php
1. – Deny access to admins profile
COPY CODE
```
// 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 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
		wp_redirect( home_url() );
	exit;
	endif;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );
```
2. – Remove admin from the member directory and recount members
COPY CODE
```
// Remove admin from the member directory
function bpdev_exclude_users($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');
```
3. – Hide admin’s activities from all activity feeds
COPY CODE
```
// 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 );
```
For the premium accounts this would require some extra time and development, i suggest to hire a developer to do it for you 🙂

Thanks Laura, I will give this code a try. Also, I did some more research and found a plugin called BP Profile Visibility Manager that I will experiment with as well. You can mark this as resolved.

Hi! Thanks for posting these theme updates. Unfortunately they don’t seem to work on my site – I updated the theme as per the instructions above, but “admin1234” (my admin account) still keeps showing up in all the member lists. Any ideas?

Hi, Laura! I rechecked the code that I entered (basically a cut-and-paste of yours), and confirmed it only references user id 1, and I also confirmed that the admin id on my system is 1. I have attached a copy of the my KLEO Child modifications, they look okay to me.

Hello, a suggestion: Create a new user, copy the user ID to the codes, make the user admin, delete the old admin user and assign all the stuff to the new admin

Hm. I have to wonder: if the code does not work for user id 1, why would it work for a different user id? Maybe I will just put up with admin always showing up in member lists.

Thanks, Howard

Hi, Laura;

I’m pretty sure the admin id is 1: it shows up in the Edit Groups page.

Cheers, Howard

I checked the log, and I see this:

[06-Mar-2017 12:19:59 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_current_user_id() (previously declared in /home/htaylor/public_html/wp-includes/user.php:426) in /home/htaylor/public_html/wp-content/themes/kleo-child/functions.php on line 92

Does this seem relevant?

Can you tell me if the version of VC supplied with Kleo, VC 4.10, is compatible with WP 4.7.3? Does VC 4.10 work on other Kleo sites? I see in the VC release notes that 4.11 was released to be compatible with WP 4.5, and the current VC release is 5.0.
