    I am using the BP Profile Visibility Manager On my website and have a problem. When user marks no for “list in member search”, then a “friend” starts to send a message, their name isn’t showing up for autocomplete in the recipient field. I am using Better messages plugin. Friends should be able to see each other in message autocomplete regardless of member directory settings. Please help!

    Hello Michael,

    Thank you for posting. Please try the following code and let me know if it works or not.

    

add_filter( 'bp_profile_visibility_search_excluded_sql', function ( $exclude_sql ) {

	if ( ! bp_is_members_directory() ) {
		$exclude_sql = '';
	}

	return $exclude_sql;
} );

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello Michael,

    You can place this code in ‘bp-custom.php’. For more info please look at the following resource:

    Ravi, thanks for trying to help, but I am not capable of adding the code you suggested to the proper place, when I do it, I get a critical error. Could you please make a update to the plugin so that this will work?

    Hello Michael,

    Please make a file with name “bp-custom.php” under plugins directory. Then put the following code:

    

<?php
/**
 * Modify profile visibility excluded sql
 *
 * @param string $exclude_sql Excluded sql.
 *
 * @return string
 */
function buddydev_modify_profile_visibility_excluded_sql( $exclude_sql ) {

	if ( function_exists( 'BP_Better_Messages' ) && ! bp_is_members_directory() ) {
		$exclude_sql = '';
	}

	return $exclude_sql;
}

add_filter( 'bp_profile_visibility_search_excluded_sql', 'buddydev_modify_profile_visibility_excluded_sql' );

    Regards
    Ravi

    Ravi, I’m sorry but that didn’t work. Another thing I noticed is that even though I am friends with the member who has no sleeted for visibility in directory and search, I do not see this member in my friends list. So this is two problems with the member visibility plugin-
    1. private member doesn’t show in message recipient autocomplete
    2. private member doesn’t show in my friends list.
    Thank you for all of your work I am confident you will find a way to fix this plugin to get these resolved.

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you.

    Yes, we will update the plugin for the message sending. For friends, It works out of the box. Most probably, It is unable to find supporting hooks in the theme.

    Can you please tell me which theme are you using?

    Regards
    Brajesh
