Introduction
The Activity Filter in BuddyBoss enhances how users interact with activity streams by providing more control over filtering and sorting options. Administrators will now have the ability to customize the activity feed tabs by enabling or disabling specific filters and rearranging their order, providing a more tailored user experience.
This guide walks you through configuring the BuddyBoss Activity Filter settings.
