Hi Kathy,
Welcome to BuddyDev. Thank you for purchasing the plugin.

1. Please update the settings that you want to applied to all users in the Admin settings page

2. Please put the following code in your bp-custom.php

function bppv_custom_bulk_update() {

	if ( get_site_option( 'bppv_custom_bulk_updated') || ! function_exists( 'bp_profile_visibility_get_default_settings' ) ) {
		return ;//do not update again
	}
	//only admins with capability to manage users can do it
	if ( !  current_user_can( 'delete_users' ) ) {
		return ;
	}

	//apologies for the implicit dependency
	$settings = bp_profile_visibility_get_default_settings();
	if ( empty( $settings ) ) {
		return ;
	}

	$keys = array_keys( $settings );

	if ( empty( $keys ) ) {
		return ;
	}

	$meta_keys = array_map( 'esc_sql', $keys );

	$list = '\'' . join( '\', \'', $meta_keys ) . '\'';

	$meta_list = '(' . $list .')';

	//delete current preference

	global $wpdb;

	//Drop it for all existing Users
	$delete_sql = "DELETE FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key IN {$meta_list}";

	$wpdb->query( $delete_sql );

	//now update for each key
	foreach ( $settings  as $key => $val ) {

		if ( $key =='admin_only' ) {
			continue;//
		}
		$update_settings_query = "INSERT INTO {$wpdb->usermeta} (user_id, meta_key, meta_value)
                SELECT  ID, %s as meta_key, %s as meta_value   FROM {$wpdb->users} where ID !=0";

		$prepared_query = $wpdb->prepare( $update_settings_query, $key, $val );

		$wpdb->query( $prepared_query );
		update_site_option( 'bppv_custom_bulk_updated', 1 );
	}

}
//Run it only once
add_action( 'init', 'bppv_custom_bulk_update' );//

It needs to be run only once and It will overwrite the settings of ALL USERS(even for users with existing preference).

After one run, you can remove the code if you want.

Hope that helps.

Hi Sm,
I am sorry I though I replied earlier.

Do you want everyone to be hidden on members directory all the time?

Hi S,
The plugin does not allow to set the directory visibility option for existing users. That change needs bulk update in database and most of the site due to lack of resources had issues.

If you are able to use PHP My admin, Please post me the table prefix(it should be something like wp_ or similar) and the exact configuration you want for the users. I will post the bulk update sql queries instead.

Thank you

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for posting. The above code works. Also, we will be adding the option to reset privacy settings for all members this weekend.

Thank you
Brajesh
