Members Directory Display
Beyond the profile page, a member’s current status can appear in the BuddyPress members directory, giving visitors a quick sense of who is doing what.
What it shows
Section titled “What it shows”When enabled, each entry in the members directory shows a short snippet of the member’s current status next to their avatar and name. The snippet is truncated to 30 characters so it fits the member card.
Adjusting the length
Section titled “Adjusting the length”The 30-character truncation is filterable. Developers can change it with the bpsts_directory_status_max_length filter:
add_filter( 'bpsts_directory_status_max_length', function( $length ) { return 50;} );Theme coverage
Section titled “Theme coverage”The status is injected through several BuddyPress directory hooks (bp_directory_members_item_meta, bp_member_item_meta, bp_nouveau_members_loop_item, and bp_member_members_list_item) so it works across Legacy and Nouveau templates. Exact placement depends on your theme’s member-card markup.
Turning it on or off
Section titled “Turning it on or off”Controlled by the “Enable status display in members directory” toggle in General settings.
