Shortcodes Overview

The plugin registers exactly three shortcodes. Each is documented on its own page with every attribute it accepts and the real default from the code.

Shortcode	Renders	Requires component	Reference
[activity-listing]	Activity stream	Activity	See [activity-listing]
[members-listing]	Members directory	Extended Profiles (xprofile)	See [members-listing]
[groups-listing]	Groups directory	Groups	See [groups-listing]

How attributes are handled

Every shortcode merges the attributes you pass with its defaults using WordPress shortcode_atts(), so any attribute not in the list below is discarded. The merged attributes then pass through a filter named after the tag (activity-listing_attributes, members-listing_attributes, groups-listing_attributes) before rendering, which developers can use to change values site-wide. See the Developer Guide.

Common conventions

• title adds an <h4> heading above the listing. It is empty by default (no heading).
• per_page sets how many items each page shows.
• container_class is added to the wrapping element.
• Attributes documented with a default of false are optional filters; leave them out to not apply them.
• The members and groups shortcodes share grid (yes/no) and loop_layout (one, two, three, four) for layout.

Rendering notes that apply to all three

• Shortcodes do not render inside the WordPress admin (except AJAX and the Elementor preview); they render on the front end.
• If the matching BuddyPress component is disabled, the shortcode outputs a short notice instead of a listing.
• All three render through the BuddyPress Nouveau template pack, with BuddyBoss bb- variants used automatically when the BuddyBoss Platform is active.
