Members have no way to know who is looking at their BuddyPress profile, removing a social signal that drives engagement on every major network. Who Viewed My Profile records recent profile visitors and displays them on the member's profile page, giving members visibility into their audience and a reason to keep their profile current.
Frontend surfaces now use shared color variables, so they match light and dark themes (BuddyX, BuddyX Pro, Reign, BuddyBoss) automatically.
Fix
Recent Visitors section, the visitor analytics card, and the visited-members list now follow the active dark theme instead of showing white panels.
Profile-views text is now readable in dark mode - headings, counts, and labels keep enough contrast against the dark background.

New
A third chart style on the Views tab - Polar area - joins Line and Bar. The Chart.js rendering code already supported polar-area charts but only Line/Bar were selectable in the admin; it now matches what the underlying library can do.
Brand-new admin UI - every settings screen was rewritten as a clean card-panel layout with a sidebar, proper page header, and plain-English labels. No more legacy wrapper chrome.
"WB Plugins" hub - all Wbcom plugins now share a single top-level menu with a card-grid dashboard, so the admin sidebar stays tidy even when a site runs the full community bundle. Legacy (un-migrated) Wbcom plugins coexist cleanly with the new hub.
Overview dashboard with live counts of total views, unique viewers, views in the last 24 hours, and members with at least one recorded view, plus a snapshot of the current configuration at a glance.
Dedicated Overview, Members Views, General, Display, and License tabs - each one focused on a single decision so site owners don't have to hunt across screens.
License tab directly inside Profile Views - enter, activate, and check your license key without leaving the plugin's admin page, with clear status copy and a masked key display once activated.
Improve
Members Views tab now renders a server-side top-100 leaderboard (with 7-day / 30-day / total columns) cached for one minute, replacing the previous ag-Grid data grid. The admin area no longer ships the ~800KB ag-Grid vendor bundle.
Admin assets load only on our own screens and the shared hub - other admin pages are untouched, reducing conflicts with third-party plugins.
Plain-language labels across every settings screen - "How views are counted", "Recent visitors on member profiles", "Send a BuddyPress notification on each qualifying view". No jargon or internal option names.
Settings now validated through a typed sanitizer - every value is bounded to its allowed range before `update_option` runs, preventing accidental corruption of the settings array.
Fix
The "Show view count on members directory cards" setting now actually does something. Previously the toggle existed in the admin but no code ever read it - flipping it on did nothing. It now renders a "N views" badge on each member card when enabled.
The "Let members opt out of being tracked" setting now exposes a real control. When admins turn it on, members see a "Record my visits to other profiles" toggle on their own Views tab and can opt out with one click. Previously the toggle was admin-configurable but members had no way to actually exercise the opt-out.
Bot and crawler hits (Googlebot, Facebot, LinkedInBot, Pingdom, curl, etc.) are no longer counted as profile views. Previously a profile with 50 views might actually be 5 real visitors + 45 bots - now the number customers see is the number of real humans.
Major performance issue - the plugin used to iterate every user account in the database on every page load just to back-fill the default "allow tracking" flag. On a community with a thousand members that was roughly a thousand database reads per page. The back-fill now runs once after activation and never again.
`session_start()` no longer fires on every public request. It now runs only when the plugin actually needs it (the "referer" dedupe mode on BuddyPress profile pages), which stops conflicts with page-cache plugins and session-managing peers.
Admin Overview counts and the Members Views leaderboard now update immediately after a new view is recorded, instead of lagging up to 60 seconds behind.
Security
Closed an anonymous data-leak on the profile-views chart AJAX endpoint. The endpoint accepts a user_id and returns that user's profile-view history; pre-1.5.0 the nonce check used `isset && ! verify`, which silently fell through to the data-returning branch when the nonce parameter was simply omitted from the request. A separate cross-user issue let any logged-in member fetch another member's chart by passing their user_id. The endpoint now requires a valid nonce, requires the request to be logged-in, and verifies the requested user_id matches the current user. Affected file: `public/class-bp-profile-views-public.php` (chart widget AJAX handler).
License activation and deactivation handlers (EDD updater) now require the `manage_options` capability in addition to the existing nonce check. Nonce alone is CSRF protection, not authorization; gating to admins prevents lower-privileged logged-in users with a valid nonce from writing license options or calling the EDD API on the site's behalf.
Compat
Requires WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.4. Tested against WordPress 6.9, BuddyPress 14.x, and PHP 8.4.
Note
Onboarded the plugin into the Wbcom audit/manifest pattern - `audit/manifest.json`, `audit/FEATURE_AUDIT.md`, `audit/CODE_FLOWS.md`, `audit/ROLE_MATRIX.md`, `audit/graph.html`, and `audit/wppqa-baseline-2026-05-11/SUMMARY.md` now ship in the repo so future contributors can answer "what does this plugin do?" without grepping. CLAUDE.md carries a READ-FIRST pointer at the top.
