The following code snippet can be used to disable access to the default BuddyPress Members Directory. Simply add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.
//Disable members directory
function disable_directory_members() {
global $bp, $wp_query;
$bp_is_directory = false;
bp_core_redirect( $bp_root_domain );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_action_directory_members', 'disable_directory_members', 2 );
Update – 11/17/2011: As of BuddyPress v1.5 this post this method is deprecated. You can now achieve this same result by unpublishing the ‘Members’ page from the ‘Pages menu in the admin area.
