Excellent, still works for Wordpress 6.6.1
Does exactly as it says, allows front end users to hide their profiles from the directory on the front end. Would be even better if it allows hidden users to replace their entire profile page with a message like "user is on holidays" because even though they are hidden from the directory, people can still access their profile page directly.

Very nice idea and job...
Very nice idea to have possibility to hide profile in buddypress directory... A lot of my members did not want to appear in this directory and as well, in Google directory ! There is only one thing i'd like to have in options : have possibility, as administrator, to activate or not, for all my members, the option "Who can view you profil" Is it possible as well, to redirect to a special page or root web site when someone try to access to a hiden profil ? Thank's again for this job & work I hope now to have an update ;-) Thierry

Very good plugin, has a small issue
The plugin works fine and is very useful, as it provides an important aspect that is missing from BuddyPress. There is the issue that José Caldeira pointed out in support, but thankfully he also provides a patch. I'm sure it will be fixed for good in the next update.
