How to Set up BuddyPress Analytics

Introduction

The BuddyPress Analytics plugin lets you track users’ visits across your BuddyPress community website.

Site administrators can see the list of users with empty profiles, which users are most active in the community along with the Search Analytics and Time Spent results for each user.

The integration works and requires the BuddyBoss Platform installed and activated on your website.

BuddyBoss Platform is a fork and forge of the BuddyPress plugin and bbPress plugin. Any plugin developed for the BuddyPress and bbPress plugin is supported by the BuddyBoss Platform.

You do NOT need to install the BuddyPress plugin or the bbPress plugin separately. BuddyBoss Platform acts as a replacement for both the plugins.
