Activity Streams

Activity streams aggregate all of your activities across a BuddyPress installation.

Enabled BuddyPress components make use of the activity stream component, which means any sort of activity can be recorded. Blogs posts, new friendships and blog comments are among the most popular activities recorded. Furthermore, custom components can also hook into the activity streams, meaning any sort of data can be tracked and recorded.

Following are the the pages rendered in the front end of your site when the Activity Component is activated.

1. Sitewide Activity Stream
2. Member Activity Stream
   and if the Groups Component is active:
3. Group Activity Stream
