Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BuddyPress Activity Filter

By default, "Everything" is shown in the activity feed. You can change this to any specific activity type like "Status Updates", "New Blog Posts", etc. The plugin allows different defaults for site-wide and profile activity streams.

Yes! Use the "Hidden Activities" tab to select which activity types should never appear in the activity stream. This completely removes them from the feed and dropdown options.

When you enable a custom post type, publishing a new post of that type will automatically create an activity entry showing the author, post type, and post title with a link. You can customize the activity label for each post type.

Yes, the plugin is compatible with BuddyPress default themes and the Nouveau theme package. It also works with most third-party BuddyPress themes including Youzify, Kleo, and other popular community themes.

No, the plugin only affects the display and filtering of activities. Existing activities remain unchanged in the database. The plugin works by modifying queries and display logic, not by deleting data.

Yes, when enabling a custom post type, you can specify a custom label that will be used in the activity text instead of the default post type name. This allows for more user-friendly activity descriptions.

No, BuddyBoss has similar built-in features, so this plugin is not compatible and will display a notice if BuddyBoss is detected. BuddyBoss users should use the native activity filtering features.

You can reset individual settings by changing them back to their defaults, or deactivate and reactivate the plugin to restore all default values. The plugin also includes migration tools for upgrading from older versions.

Yes! The plugin provides numerous hooks and filters for developers. See the documentation for bp_activity_filter_default, bp_activity_filter_available_filters, and other developer hooks.

The plugin includes automatic migration tools that preserve your settings during updates. Major version updates may include additional migration steps, which are handled automatically.
