BuddyPress activity streams, member directories, and group listings only appear on their designated plugin pages, with no native way to embed them in posts or pages. Shortcodes for BuddyPress adds shortcodes for activity streams, member listings, group listings, and user notifications that work on any post or page across single and multisite installs.
Rebuilt the admin screen on the Wbcom card-panel layout with sidebar navigation, a dashboard overview, and reskinned shortcode reference tabs.
Added a Discover tab listing other free Wbcom tools.
Implemented the status attribute on [groups-listing] so you can limit the directory to public, private, or hidden groups.
Improve
Rewrote the Elementor widgets for the three shortcodes so their controls match the shortcode attributes.
Reduced the plugin to a single Nouveau template pack; all three shortcodes now render through it on both BuddyPress and BuddyBoss.
Made the admin shortcode reference match the code, so every documented attribute is one the shortcode actually accepts.
Added Requires PHP and Requires Plugins headers so WordPress can enforce the BuddyPress dependency.
Fix
The [activity-listing] and [groups-listing] shortcodes no longer cause a fatal error when BuddyPress is inactive; they now show the same "enable BuddyPress" notice as the members shortcode.
Fixed the load-more control on [activity-listing], which could crash or request a missing asset.
Removed the leftover activity posting form that appeared to logged-out visitors.
Fixed Add Friend and Message buttons overlapping in the [members-listing] grid layout.
Fixed the grunt build so the release zip ships the real minified assets and an accurate translation template.
Security
Clamped the load-more AJAX per_page and limit values so a public request cannot force an unbounded query.
Dev
Added bin/local-ci.sh as the blocking gate (PHP lint, coding standards, static analysis, functional tests) and a functional test suite covering the shortcode attribute and widget matrix.
Removed dead code, unused scaffolding, and the duplicated feedback notice.
Compat
Tested with WordPress 7.0. The plugin now requires WordPress 6.5 and PHP 8.0.
