Ok so was able to achieve the result that I needed for both the front page side bar, but now also on **/u** with CSS again:

```plaintext
html.anon .top-contributors--user:has([data-user-card="admin_username"]),
html.anon .directory-table__row:has([data-username="admin_username"]) {
    display: none;
}

```

Hopefully this is useful for anyone else who just wants to exclude admins from showing at the top of the “likes received” ranking. Especially in less busy forums like mine.

As per title: “Hide admin user from user-directory and top contributors“… marking as solution.
