Thanks Champ Camba. The pre-release looks good for the issue originally mentioned in this thread.

Looks like it’s storing it as a serialized array. So you actually probably want this query…

DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'hide_in_members' and meta_value NOT LIKE '%Yes%';

I also have a code change which I’ve applied to one of the plugin files until the issue is resolved. This change updates the query used to list members to take into account the flags that are set but are not set to Yes.

Using the WordPress built-in Plugin Editor, I edited the file ultimate-member/core/um-filters-members.php

I replaced lines 49-53 with the following

$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
	'relation' => 'OR',
	array(
		'key' => 'hide_in_members',
		'value' => '',
		'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
	),
	array(
		'key' => 'hide_in_members',
		'value' => 'Yes',
		'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
	)
);

For reference this is what lines 49-53 looked like before:

$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
	'key' => 'hide_in_members',
	'value' => '',
	'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
);

I’m seeing the same thing. I took a look at the plugin’s code where it attempts to delete the flag that marks the profile as private. It is looking for a property named “hide_in_members”, but the POST data shows its sending it as “hide_in_members[]”, so it never makes it into the block of code that deletes the flag. So then when it goes to retrieve the list of member’s, it always checks to make sure that flag does not exist. But since it never deletes it, it only sets its value to “No”, the member gets filtered.

So I see 2 ways to fix the issue. 1) Fix the input name to not set it as an array and/or 2) Update the query to check for the flag being No or not present.

As a workaround before you save the account page, if you run the following javascript code in your browsers javascript console, it should clear out the privacy setting (presumably until you save the account page again without the javascript block)

document.getElementsByName('hide_in_members[]').forEach(function(el){el.setAttribute('name', 'hide_in_members')});
