Code
if ( ! function_exists( 'buddypress' ) ) {
return;
}
// Roles to hide from the directory.
$wpide_bp_hidden_roles = array( 'administrator' );
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', function ( $args ) use ( $wpide_bp_hidden_roles ) {
if ( ! bp_is_members_directory() && ! wp_doing_ajax() ) {
return $args;
}
$hidden = get_transient( 'wpide_bp_hidden_members' );
if ( false === $hidden ) {
$hidden = get_users( array( 'role__in' => $wpide_bp_hidden_roles, 'fields' => 'ID', 'number' => 500 ) );
set_transient( 'wpide_bp_hidden_members', $hidden, HOUR_IN_SECONDS );
}
if ( $hidden ) {
$exclude = empty( $args['exclude'] ) ? array() : wp_parse_id_list( $args['exclude'] );
$args['exclude'] = array_unique( array_merge( $exclude, array_map( 'intval', $hidden ) ) );
}
return $args;
} );
add_action( 'set_user_role', function () {
delete_transient( 'wpide_bp_hidden_members' );
} );Notes
Hidden members can still be found by visiting their profile URL directly. The list of IDs is cached for an hour.
