For example, could this be combined somehow with this below so that not only will the member role type not be displayed in the directory, the URL of the profile page will also not be visible:

add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_members_parse_args’, ‘buddydev_exclude_users_by_role’ );

function buddydev_exclude_users_by_role( $args ) {
//do not exclude in admin
if( is_admin() && ! defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) ) {
return $args;
}

$excluded = isset( $args[‘exclude’] )? $args[‘exclude’] : array();

if( !is_array( $excluded ) ) {
$excluded = explode(‘,’, $excluded );
}

//$role = ‘administrator’;//change to the role to be excluded
$user_ids = get_users( array( ‘role__in’ => [‘administrator’ , ‘contributor’ , ‘author’, ‘editor’] ,’fields’=>’ID’) );

$excluded = array_merge( $excluded, $user_ids );

$args[‘exclude’] = $excluded;

return $args;
}

Combined with the redirect of the profile page but including the various role types above:

function buddydev_redirect_from_admin_profile() {
//not a profile page or viewing own profile page, no redirect
if ( ! bp_is_user() || bp_is_my_profile() ) {
return;
}

//check if the user is admin?
//there are multiple ways to do it, I will show for Super admin
//You can use user_can(bp_displayed_user_id(), ‘cap_name’ ) too, Make sure to change cap name to appropriate cap

$redirect_url = site_url(‘/why-did-i-get-redirected’);//or any url

if ( is_super_admin( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) {
bp_core_redirect( $redirect_url );
}

}

add_action( ‘bp_template_redirect’, ‘buddydev_redirect_from_admin_profile’ );
