Compatibility
BuddyPress
Section titled “BuddyPress”Requires BuddyPress 3.0 or later with the Activity component active. The plugin registers its two options on the BuddyPress settings screen, in the Activity Settings section, in addition to its own admin panel. The BuddyPress field is only registered while the Activity component is active.
BuddyBoss Platform
Section titled “BuddyBoss Platform”BuddyBoss ships its own native activity-edit feature. When BuddyPress Edit Activity runs alongside BuddyBoss, the plugin’s own Edit button renders using BuddyBoss’s button markup (bb-icon-edit, bb_edit_activity classes) and hooks into BuddyBoss’s dropdown and bubble button lists.
The edit window for BuddyBoss installations reads from _bp_activity_edit_time (BuddyBoss’s own option key) rather than _bp_edit_activity_duration, so the time limit stays consistent with BuddyBoss. The plugin’s BuddyBoss button and action integration only registers while BuddyBoss’s own activity-edit setting (bp_is_activity_edit_enabled()) is on.
Youzify (formerly YouzerBP)
Section titled “Youzify (formerly YouzerBP)”When Youzify is active, the plugin’s Edit button is injected through the bp_activity_after_comment_button hook instead of bp_activity_entry_meta, matching Youzify’s theme structure. The plugin also adds activity_status to the list of editable activity types when Youzify is detected.
BuddyPress companion plugins
Section titled “BuddyPress companion plugins”These companion plugins can work alongside BuddyPress Edit Activity through the bp_edit_activity_fields and bp_get_addition_activity_content hooks. Their extra content (for example a check-in location or a GIF) can load into the edit modal so members update it at the same time as the text:
- BuddyPress Check-ins
- BuddyPress Quotes
- BuddyPress Status
- BuddyPress Giphy
- BuddyPress Polls
Gutenberg block content
Section titled “Gutenberg block content”Activity posts that contain Gutenberg block markup (HTML comments in the form <!-- wp:... -->) are not editable through the modal, and the Edit button does not appear on them. This is intentional: block content cannot be safely round-tripped through a plain textarea.
WordPress multisite
Section titled “WordPress multisite”The plugin works on multisite. Each sub-site keeps its own settings (_bp_enable_edit_option, _bp_edit_activity_duration), scoped to that site’s option table.
RTL languages
Section titled “RTL languages”The plugin ships separate minified RTL stylesheets (public/css/rtl/). They load automatically when is_rtl() returns true.
Themes and dark mode
Section titled “Themes and dark mode”The edit modal and the success and error confirmation toasts render correctly in dark mode on BuddyX, BuddyX Pro, and Reign. Light mode is unchanged.
