I'm trying to display a "Top 10 Leaderboard" list of users on my Wordpress website who have earned the most points using the popular MyCred plugin. The code I found is working perfectly, however against my wishes, myself as the admin always makes the top of this points list because I am on the website helping people all the time, therefore earning points. But, I don't want to be competitive with other users as admin.

New to PHP, I'm having problems figuring out what I need to add to have it not include me — using my Wordpress user ID (#1) I assume — when it generates the "top 10" list.

Here's the complete code I'm working with that I found on GitHub, but I think the relevant small section of code I need to slightly modify is right here:

// Construct unorganized list for each row
 echo '<ul class="mycred-this-weeks-leaderboard">';
 foreach ($leaderboard as $position => $data) 
 echo '<li>';
 $user_info = get_userdata($data->user_id);
 $tempname = $user_info->user_login;
 $lowerstring = strtolower($tempname);
 $stringwithoutspace = strtr($lowerstring, ' ', '-');
 $username = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/', '-', $stringwithoutspace);

 ?>
 <?php if (!empty($username)) ?>
 <div class="leaderboard-info-block"> 
 <span class="leaderboard-avatar"><?php echo $avatar = get_avatar($data->user_id, 49); ?></span> <span class="leaderboard-profile-link"><a href="<?php echo 'http://chillopedia.com/forums/users/' . $username; ?>"><?php echo $data->display_name; ?></a></span> <br>
 <span class="leaderboard-user-points"><?php echo $mycred->format_creds($data->total); ?></span>
 </div> 
 <?php
 
 echo '</li><br>';
 
 echo '</ul>';

Thank you for any help you can give me! :-)

Just skip the code inside loop if the $data->user_id is 1 (your user ID)

if($data->user_id == 1)
 continue;

To implement that code to yours:

echo '<ul class="mycred-this-weeks-leaderboard">';
foreach ($leaderboard as $position => $data) 
 if($data->user_id == 1)
 continue;
 
 echo '<li>';
 $user_info = get_userdata($data->user_id);
 $tempname = $user_info->user_login;
 $lowerstring = strtolower($tempname);
 $stringwithoutspace = strtr($lowerstring, ' ', '-');
 $username = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/', '-', $stringwithoutspace);

 ?>
 <?php if (!empty($username)) ?>
 <div class="leaderboard-info-block"> 
 <span class="leaderboard-avatar"><?php echo $avatar = get_avatar($data->user_id, 49); ?></span> <span class="leaderboard-profile-link"><a href="<?php echo 'http://chillopedia.com/forums/users/' . $username; ?>"><?php echo $data->display_name; ?></a></span> <br>
 <span class="leaderboard-user-points"><?php echo $mycred->format_creds($data->total); ?></span>
 </div> 
 <?php
 
 echo '</li>';

echo '</ul>';
