The Activity Plus Reloaded for BuddyPress plugin lets your BuddyPress users post photos, videos, and links from the BuddyPress activity posting screen.
The plugin allows:
- uploading and posting photos from BuddyPress activity
- sharing videos from YouTube/Vimeo etc in the activity
- sharing links with preview (like Facebook) in the BuddyPress Activity
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.
