Features Overview

The plugin adds a “Share” button to every activity entry through the BuddyPress bp_activity_entry_meta action. Clicking the button slides open a row of enabled network icons for that activity. The button is shown only to logged-in users, and only when at least one sharing service is enabled.

Each of these networks has a working share link in the plugin and can be turned on or off individually:

Network What it shares
Facebook The activity permalink, through the Facebook sharer.
X (Twitter) The activity permalink plus the activity title.
Pinterest The activity permalink plus a description.
Reddit The activity permalink plus the activity title.
WordPress The activity permalink through WordPress.com Press This.
Pocket The activity permalink plus the activity title.
LinkedIn The activity permalink plus text.
WhatsApp The activity permalink through wa.me.
E-mail A mailto link with a subject and body built from your site title and the activity link.

The E-mail and WhatsApp links open directly rather than in a popup window.

From the General Settings tab you drag networks between an Enable list and a Disable list, and you can reorder the enabled networks by dragging. The order you set is the order the icons appear on the front end.

An “Open as popup window” option controls whether share links open in a centered popup or in a new browser tab. WhatsApp and E-mail always open directly regardless of this setting.

The Icon Color Settings tab gives each network its own color picker. Colors are applied to the icons on the front end. Defaults are set on activation.

On a single activity page the plugin outputs Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags (type, url, title, description, image). This helps shared links show a proper preview on the destination network.

For the activity image, the plugin looks for media in this order:

  • The first image found in the activity content.
  • BuddyBoss / BuddyPress media attached to the activity (BP_Media).
  • Youzer or Youzify media attached to the activity.

The button text (“Share”) can be changed by developers through a filter. See Hooks, Filters and Options.

  • There is no share count, share analytics, or click counter. The plugin does not track how many times an activity was shared.
  • The copy to clipboard front-end button is not rendered by the free version’s activity template. See Troubleshooting for details.
