buddyvendor_general_options Favorite Products settings (enable, tab label, slug, position, icon color).
buddyvendor_vendor_options Vendor Products tab settings (enable, tab label, slug, position).
buddyvendor_activity_settings Activity toggles (product creation, product review, order placement).
edd_wbcom_buddyvendor_license_key Stored license key.
edd_wbcom_buddyvendor_license_status License status (valid or invalid).

buddyvendor_user_activity_settings Member preferences for product, review, and purchase activity.

Post meta

Section titled “Post meta”

buddyvendor_user_favorite_product Product Array of user IDs who favorited the product.
buddyvendor_activity_id Product The activity ID created for the product’s creation post.
order_activity_id Order The activity ID created for the order, used to prevent duplicates.

Activity types

Section titled “Activity types”

BuddyVendor registers and uses these BuddyPress activity types under the members component:

  • buddyvendor_product - new product created by a vendor.
  • buddyvendor_review - new or approved product review.
  • buddyvendor_order_create - order placed (or activity_status when Youzify is active).

Uninstall

Section titled “Uninstall”

The plugin ships an uninstall.php file, but it is an empty skeleton and does not delete any options or meta. Deleting BuddyVendor leaves all of the data above in the database. Remove it manually if you need a clean uninstall.
