How to hide Admin user from users list

Solved12.67K viewsGeneral

Hi,

I don’t want other to know (see) site’s main Admin user, who even won’t take part in Anspress Q&A.

Is there anyway to exclude selected users to not to display in users list.

Apparently I Don’t want, to hide all Administrator’s. (e.g. in the screenshot attached I and admin two users are wordpress Administrator, I just don’t want admin user to display here)

Thanks

Regards

Hi

(IMPORTANT NOTICE:Don’t use default “admin” username! it’s so guessable. You can change it in your Cpanel or use “Username Changer” plugin &  you can desable and remove it after each usernam-changing)

To (only) “hide” superadmin in users directory for non-admin members, please put this codes at the end of functions.php file in your theme.

add_action('pre_user_query','ap_pre_user_query');
function ap_pre_user_query($user_search) {
  $user = wp_get_current_user();
  if ($user->ID!=1) { // Is not administrator, remove administrator (you can add any user-ID)
    global $wpdb;
    $user_search->query_where = str_replace('WHERE 1=1',
      "WHERE 1=1 AND {$wpdb->users}.ID<>1",$user_search->query_where);
  }
}

This way only “hides” but if you need to hide your username completely (after hiding it by the codes) please use “Edit Author Slug” plugin. (you can remove your username-slug completely or change it).

GOOD LUCK!

@morteza, thanks for the tip. Changed the admin user name, your function also hid the the super-admin. 🙂

You’re welcome! 🙂
I recommend you “Edit Author Slug” again, because your user_name is shown in your Auther-Url on your blog-posts (even if it’s hidden!).
Good luck!
