Release notes / BuddyPress Newsfeed
BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

BuddyPress Newsfeed

Standard BuddyPress splits activities across multiple separate streams, so members have to navigate between pages to see everything. BuddyPress Newsfeed collapses the sitewide stream, friend updates, group activities, and favorites into a single Facebook-style newsfeed tab with an integrated post form. Members see everything relevant in one scroll.
