Hide Logged In Users from all the listings( directory, search, members, friends list, widgets etc ) on BuddyPress Site

Brajesh Singh in BuddyPress Tricks 9 Comments

Do you want to hide the logged in users from all the listing on your BuddyPress site? Mihail asked me about it in a comment and I thought It is an interesting Idea.

The code below will hide the logged in users from

Members Directory
Other Users Friends List( when the logged in user is viewing it )
Members search
Group Members Listing
All the widgets( Who is online, Recently active members etc).

Please put the following code into bp-custom.php

//filter on pre_user_query
add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'devb_exclude_loggedin_user', 201 );

function devb_exclude_loggedin_user( $query ) {
    //don't modify the query if the user is not logged in
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
        return;
    //do not hide users inside the admin
    if ( is_admin() && !defined('DOING_AJAX') )
        return;
    $qv = $query->query_vars;

    global $wpdb;
    //hide
    $query->query_where .= $wpdb->prepare(" AND {$wpdb->users}.ID !=%d ", get_current_user_id());
}

//filter on pre_user_query

add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'devb_exclude_loggedin_user', 201 );

function devb_exclude_loggedin_user( $query ) {

//don't modify the query if the user is not logged in

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )

return;

//do not hide users inside the admin

if ( is_admin() && !defined('DOING_AJAX') )

return;

$qv = $query->query_vars;

global $wpdb;

//hide

$query->query_where .= $wpdb->prepare(" AND {$wpdb->users}.ID !=%d ", get_current_user_id());

}

That's it. Loging to your site and see if you are visible or not? Let me know in comments if you liked it, whether it worked for you or not ?

BRAVO! Super fast!
I've put it in theme functions.php and it works like charm!
I believe people would use it a lot as a plugin …
Thank you!!!
(Only thing that is still to fix is the "count" in the members tabs. It counts the current user "me" as member also)
Cheers!

  Hi Mihail,
  Thank you.
  I left the count intentionally as It will cause issues with my other plugins like BP Limit Group Membership and BP Limit Groups Per User. Will put a plugin today..
  Thank you

Hi @sbrajesh,
Thanks for this great tips as usual, but what of if you just want to hide the current member that is viewing the members directory from the directory alone and not the rest?
Currently BP will display you first in members directory if you are viewing it.
It seems the support has improved greatly on this site so I will renew my membership soon.
Thanks

  Hi Abbey,
  I have updated the gist to not hide users on search. Please check it here https://gist.github.com/sbrajesh/11038074

  Hi abbey,
  Sine we both are implementing similar members listing behavior, can you please explain me the benefits of being able to search for myself? or as you mentioned, what could be the "little problem" if a logged in user becomes unsearchable?
  Thank you.
  Cheers!

Hi Brajesh,
Is there a way to include in this code to hide specific user or specific role from specific listings (or all listings)?
For example I don't want site-admin to be listed anywhere except in fiends or following (bp-follow plugin)…
Thanks!
