Allows site admins to mark BuddyPress user profiles as hidden, excluding them from directories, searches, and making their profile pages return a 404 for non-admins.
Description
This plugin provides a simple way to hide specific BuddyPress user profiles from non-administrative users. When a profile is marked as hidden:
- The profile page returns a 404 error for non-admins
- The user is excluded from member directories
- The user is excluded from search results
- The user is excluded from AJAX-loaded member lists
Hidden profiles remain visible to:
- The profile owner themselves
- Site administrators
- Users with the
manage_options
capability
Features
- Simple checkbox interface in the WordPress user profile screen
- Complete profile hiding from non-admins
- Efficient caching of hidden user IDs
- WP-CLI support for bulk operations
- Maintains visibility for admins and profile owners
- Extensible via filters for custom hiding logic
Installation
- Upload the
buddypress-hidden-profiles
folder to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Configure hidden profiles through the WordPress user profile screen or set the user meta value.
Usage
WordPress Admin Interface
- Go to Users → All Users
- Click on the user you want to hide
- Scroll down to the "Profile Visibility" section
- Check the "Hidden Profile" checkbox
- Click "Update User"
WP-CLI
You can also manage hidden profiles using WP-CLI:
Extending with Filters
The plugin provides two filters for extending its functionality:
1. buddypress_hidden_profiles_is_hidden
This filter allows you to determine if a specific user's profile should be hidden. It's called when checking individual profiles.
Here's how it could be used:
2. buddypress_hidden_profiles_additional_hidden_ids
This filter allows you to add user IDs to the list of hidden users. It's used in directory listings and should return IDs determined by a performant query.
Here's how it could be used:
Cache Management
The plugin caches the list of hidden IDs for better performance. It automatically clears its cache when:
- A user is registered
- A user is deleted
- A user's role changes
You can also manually clear the cache using WP-CLI:
Requirements
- WordPress 6.6 or higher
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform
Troubleshooting
If a hidden profile is still visible:
- Clear the WordPress object cache
- Verify the user has the correct meta value:
profile_visibility = hidden
- Check that the viewing user is not an admin or the profile owner
- Ensure the cache is cleared after making changes
- Check if any filters are overriding the default behavior
