Community Activity and Profile Tabs

When a community platform is active, the addon posts vendor activity to the activity stream and adds vendor tabs to member profiles. It supports BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and PeepSo through a single detection layer.

The addon can create an activity record for three vendor events. Each event has its own on/off switch under the WC Vendors tab of the Reign theme options screen.

Event Trigger Setting
Product published A vendor product moves to the published status. Create Product Activity
Product review A review is left on a vendor’s product. Add Review Activity
Order received A customer completes checkout for a vendor’s product. Order Activity

Activity posting requires an active community platform with activity support:

  • For BuddyPress or BuddyBoss, the Activity component must be enabled.
  • For PeepSo, the PeepSo plugin provides the activity stream.

When no platform provides activity, these settings are disabled in the admin and an inline notice explains what to enable.

A Store tab can be added to a vendor’s member profile that lists that vendor’s products. It is controlled by the Display Store Tab setting under the WC Vendors theme options tab. The tab is only added for users who are vendors.

The favorites tab (see Favorite Products) is added on the member’s own profile when favorites are enabled and a community platform is active.

All community features route through one helper that detects BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, or PeepSo, and whether an activity stream is available. This means the same settings work regardless of which platform you run. You do not configure the platform separately in this addon; you enable the platform’s own plugin and the addon adapts.
