Activity Engagement tab
Section titled “Activity Engagement tab”Stored in the buddyvendor_activity_settings option. This tab requires the BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Activity component to be active; when Activity is off, the switches and Save button are disabled.
| Setting | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Product Creation Activity | product_activity_enable |
Posts activity when a vendor publishes a new product. |

| Order Placement Activity | order_activity_enable |
Posts activity when a member completes an order. Off until enabled. |
When BuddyBoss is active, the Product Creation Activity option shows a warning that BuddyBoss has its own product-creation activity and that enabling both can create duplicates.
Slug validation
Section titled “Slug validation”Both tab-slug fields validate on input: slugs may only contain lowercase letters and hyphens. If you enter a slug with spaces, BuddyVendor trims it, collapses repeated spaces, and replaces spaces with hyphens before using it.
Two layers of control
Section titled “Two layers of control”Every profile tab and activity type is also gated by each member’s own preferences. A tab or activity appears only when both the admin setting here and the member’s preference are enabled. See Member Preferences.
