Instagram-style stories on member profiles and the activity stream.
Your BuddyPress community feed is a scrollable list with no ephemeral, visual-first format to drive quick engagement. WP Stories adds tappable stories to BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and PeepSo communities, with image and video stories on member profiles and the activity stream.

How it works
Members post an image or video story the same way they would on Facebook or Instagram, choosing who sees it from the visibility options you allow. Set the default publication status to Pending Review and every story waits for a moderator. Publishing rights are granted per WordPress role.
Stories appear on the activity wall and member profiles, plus any story box you place on a page with the shortcode. Members can group them into collections with their own cover image and title, the way Instagram Highlights work. Likes are counted, and the story owner can see exactly who watched it.
Turn on story expiry and a story stays visible for the number of days you set, then drops out of the feed. You can also schedule expired stories, and their uploaded files, for permanent deletion after a grace period. Deleted stories do not go to the trash and cannot be recovered.
Configuration
Set the default publication status to Pending Review so nothing goes live unreviewed. Decide how many days a story stays visible, cap how many stories a member publishes and how many items go into one of them, and pick from three rendering styles. Publishing is granted per WordPress role, and you choose which visibility options members can pick from when they post.
Beyond that: an upload size ceiling in MB, a checklist of the exact image and video file types members may upload, a switch that hides stories from logged-out visitors entirely, and a viewer list only the story owner can see. Mobile-friendly and right-to-left by default, with no toggle to find.
Pricing
Personal, Professional, and Agency share the full feature set. The plan only controls how many sites you can run it on. Every tier is available annually or as a one-time lifetime license. Read the refund policy.
