How to Show different Activity Tabs in BuddyBoss

Introduction

The Activity Tabs feature on the BuddyBoss Platform breaks your consolidated Activity Feed into separate tabs based on the type of activity. This allows users to easily view all updates, likes, connections, group activity, mentions, and posts from followed users in distinct sections. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access Activity Settings

1. Open your Dashboard and navigate to BuddyBoss > Settings > Activity.

Step 2: Enable Activity Tabs

1. In the Activity Settings panel, locate and check the option labeled Activity Tabs (display activity in separate tabs based on activity type).

2. Click the Save Settings button to apply your changes.

Step 3: Verify the New Activity Tabs

1. Visit the Activity Feed on your site.
2. Confirm that the feed now displays distinct tabs, including:

• All Updates: Consolidated activity feed
• Reactions: Posts you have reacted
• Connections: Activity from users you are connected to
• Groups: Posts from groups you are a member of
• Mentions: Posts where you have been mentioned
• Following: Activity from users you follow

3. Also, check your profile timeline to see that the same tab structure is present.

Step 4: Revert to the Consolidated Feed (Optional)

1. If you wish to revert to the default consolidated Activity Feed, return to BuddyBoss > Settings > Activity.
2. Uncheck the Activity Tabs option and click Save.
