How to Remove "Teacher" and "Student" Member Types from Directory Filters?

[W David Bayless]

I’m using Boss/Social Learner/Sensei/BP for Sensei. Apparently by default, BP for Sensei creates two member types (Teacher and Student) and includes those types in the directory filter at the top of the /members/ page.

I used the BuddyPress Member Types plugin to create two new member types – Guides and Members, which I’d like to use in lieu of the default Teacher/Student types. I’ve successfully designated my current users as a Guide or Member, as show in the attached screenshot.

What is the best way for me to remove the Teacher and Student directory filter options? I’d like to have the filter bar read All Members/My Friends/Guides/Members.

Any suggestions on how I might hide these member types from the directory filters?

Hi @dbayless
you can use following function inside child theme functions.php to remove them.

function bp_sensei_remove_tabs() {
   global $bp, $BUDDYPRESS_SENSEI;
remove_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', array( $BUDDYPRESS_SENSEI->bp_sensei_loader, 'bp_sensei_members_directory' ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_sensei_remove_tabs');

Thank you, Varun. I’m having trouble getting the code to work. I’ll follow-up if I can’t. In the meantime, I appreciate your suggestions, as always.

Hi @dbayless, Hopefully above code worked fine. I have also tested on sensei install and it worked fine.

I will close this topic, feel free to create new for any further queries.
