How Can I Exclude a Specified User Type from the Members Directory?

[W David Bayless]

I am using the “Subscriber” site role to designate inactive members. How might I exclude such inactive members from being included in the Member Directory? In the attached screenshot, “William Bayless” is inactive and has been assigned the Subscriber site role.

From my research, I’m guessing that I need to modify the members-loop.php file and place the modified version in the appropriate Social Learner child directory.

Any recommendations?

Thanks, again, Varun. This approached work for me.

For anybody else who wants to use the above referenced code to exclude one or more member types from the BuddyPress members directory, a couple of notes:

• Watch out for the fix in the penultimate line of the code. return $users; should be replaced with return $subscribers;
• I appended the code the functions.php file in my /wp-content/themes/social-learner/ child theme folder.
