The BuddyPress Anonymous Activity plugin lets your BuddyPress users post an activity update/comment on BuddyPress based network anonymously (without revealing their identity).
Your BuddyPress users:
- Can post an activity update without revealing their identity
- Can comment on other user’s activity without revealing their identity
- All notifications/emails hide the identity of the anonymous 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.
