Configuring the Plugin
All options live under WB Plugins > Ideapush Integration in wp-admin. There are two settings tabs, each saving its own option, plus Overview, Support and License tabs.

Section titled “Activity Stream”These options control how ideas appear in the activity feed. They are stored in
the bii_activity_setting option. This tab is hidden when BuddyBoss Platform is
active.

Overview tab
Section titled “Overview tab”The Overview tab summarises your current configuration at a glance: whether the Idea tab is on, whether activity posting is on, the profile label and slug, and whether BuddyPress and IdeaPush are detected. Use it as a quick health check after changing settings.
A typical setup
Section titled “A typical setup”- Turn on Enable Idea tab so members can browse their ideas from their profile.
- Set a Profile label and Profile slug that match your community’s wording.
- Turn on Post ideas to activity and set an Action text so new ideas are announced in the feed.
- Optionally turn on BuddyPress comments so discussion happens in the activity thread rather than in WordPress comments.
