Hi guys,

any suggestion how to hide the members in bbPress from being listed to all other members? This is a data protection issue. One should be able to be a registered member without being exposed to all others.

No idea if this was the most optimal way to do it, but did it like this :

<?php 

$val2=bbp_get_user_id();
$val3=get_current_user_id( );
if ( current_user_can( 'moderate' ) OR $val2 == $val3 ) :
    ?>

Anything you want the moderator or logged in user to see.
<?php endif; ?>

Modified all the user-*****.php files like this.

Also in other template files I modified the code so usernames are not linkable to their profile.

If you are just using bbpress (and not buddypress) then install

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>profile and you’ll see options to block this

Awesome, Indrekkor.

I will check this out. Thanks a bunch for taking the effort.

Thank you Robin!

Unfortunately we do use buddypress along with bbpress. So I’d be thankful for a plugin solution that works for both.
