BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

BuddyPress Statistics

Growing a BuddyPress community without data means guessing about what is working. BuddyPress Statistics builds a detailed activity log tracking member counts, active users, status updates, groups, posts, and engagement trends. Stats display on user profiles, group pages, and admin views, with sorting and widget options to surface the numbers that matter.

v2.0.1 Latest

September 17, 2026
New 1 Improve 4 Fix 9 Dev 2 Compat 1

New

  • Developers can limit all analytics charts to a chosen set of members through a new filter.

Improve

  • Statistics pages and widgets follow the dark mode of BuddyX 5.1 and Reign.
  • Group statistics cards stack in a single column so each chart gets the full width.
  • Settings screens have cleaner alignment, readable option descriptions and consistent filter fields.
  • The settings screen explains that the group Statistics tab stays hidden while no group chart is selected.

Fix

  • The translation template now includes every string, so Loco Translate shows the plugin as fully configured.
  • The profile Statistics tab stays visible when no charts are selected and shows impact, streak and journey.
  • Administrators no longer lose the group Statistics tab when every profile chart is turned off.
  • Members in the roles ticked on the Display screen see their Statistics tab before the settings are first saved.
  • The Reset activity log and Full historical indexing confirmation dialogs display correctly.
  • The Configure Profile Fields button text is readable without hovering.
  • The Overview community health score ring now fills to match the score.
  • The Single Group Stats widget Activity Trend shows the last 7 days as intended.
  • Settings tabs no longer appear blank on phones.

Dev

  • REST API requests with an unsupported filter or period value now return a clear error instead of silently using the default.
  • The analytics member filter no longer causes database errors or shows all members when given invalid user IDs.

Compat

  • Requires WordPress 6.5 or later and PHP 8.0 or later.

v2.0.0

June 10, 2026
Improve 6 Fix 2 Security 2 Compat 1

Improve

  • Refreshed admin experience with a streamlined card-based layout. Overview, Analytics, Users, Activity Log, Settings, and License all share one consistent panel.
  • Faster navigation - the horizontal tabs are reorganized into 6 sidebar tabs, with sub-sections for Analytics and Settings.
  • Plain-language settings labels throughout, so options read the way you'd describe them.
  • Accessible in-page confirmations replace browser pop-ups for sensitive actions like resetting the activity log or running a full reindex.
  • Dark-mode support across BuddyX, BuddyBoss Readylaunch, and BuddyBoss classic themes.
  • License page now shows your license expiry date and renewal status inline.

Fix

  • Removed a duplicate hourly cache-warmer schedule.

Security

  • Admin and public actions now verify both a security token and the user's permissions, closing a gap where logged-in members could trigger admin-only chart data.
  • Group statistics now check group membership before returning data for private groups.

Compat

  • Your existing settings, license key, activity log, widgets, shortcodes, and scheduled tasks all carry over unchanged. Old admin bookmarks continue to work automatically.
