Settings Overview
The plugin settings live at WB Plugins > Anonymous Activity in your WordPress admin. The page has five tabs:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Overview | At-a-glance counts, and which locations anonymous posting is currently enabled for |
| General Settings | All functional settings: who can post anonymously, where, and how it displays |
| Discover | Other Wbcom plugins, with one-click install where a free tier exists (added in 1.6.2) |
| FAQ | Common questions answered inline |
| License | Your licence key, its status and activations |
All functional configuration happens on the General Settings tab. There is a single settings group - no sub-sections or separate pages.
The Overview tab is read-only. Where a location is switched off it offers a “Turn on” shortcut; where a location is unavailable because its dependency is missing (Forums without bbPress or BuddyBoss) it says so rather than offering a link that would lead nowhere.
How settings are stored
Section titled “How settings are stored”All settings are stored as a single serialized array in wp_options under the key bp_anonymous_activity_settings. You can read the current settings in PHP with:
$settings = get_option( 'bp_anonymous_activity_settings' );Or use the plugin’s helper function, which also applies defaults and a filter:
$settings = bp_anonymous_activity_settings();Settings sections
Section titled “Settings sections”- General Settings - access control, context toggles, checkbox labels, anonymous display name, avatar, profile link
- Display & Avatar Settings - custom anonymous avatar image, anonymous profile link
- Permission Rules - how the access checks combine, and common configurations
- Anonymity and Privacy - what is and is not hidden, and who can still see the real author
- Discover Tab - the Wbcom family list and one-click install
If you are about to promise anonymity to your members, read Anonymity and Privacy first. It is the page that tells you what this plugin does not cover.
