Biggest opportunity: “activity”, “buddypress” and “buddypress activity share” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 20 of 8.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 6.8.

    This plugin doesn’t work anymore.This is an essential feature, and it looks like it was well made, but this plugin is 6 years-old and unfortunately outdated. Since the developer is not available, a fork would be needed (there’s none yet on GitHub) to fix current issues. Any volunteers out there? I only tried it out with BuddyBoss Platform, and couldn’t make it work. Here’s what I observed:– The main problem is that the reshare form leads to an URL that yields a 404 (Page Not Found). I suspect that it has to do with the way BuddyPress routes internal URLs (if I remember well, the routing component underwent extensive refactor in the last few updates of BuddyPress, that might explain why it stopped working at some point).– With BuddyBoss Platform on a multisite installation, the settings are only available network-wide (in network admin > BuddyBoss > Integrations > BuddyPress) and only take effect if the plugin is activated network-wide. Then the “Share” button (and form) effectively shows up on selected activity types. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by Bigue Nique.

    This plugin did not work for me. When I clicked Share, nothing happened. I hope the developer updates this plugin some time soon. This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by jcfromkc.

    Hi please don’t waste your time, this plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time and doesn’t work. The sharing process doesn’t work, info supplied at support forum – no replies, to me or anyone else who has asked, waste of your time trying to use, or trying to post at the plugin forum for the author. Shame, as it looks like it was / could be a great plugin. The author just doesn’t answer though it seems. If anyone feels like picking it up…. Edit, whoops I accidentally pressed 5 it was supposed to be a 1 star, to save others wasting their time also. This topic was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by Kir 2012. Reason: OOps mistakenly posted with wrong rating

    Hi, Thanks for you’re plugin, I use this function to remove some activities update function bpfr_activity_types( $retval ) { // comment line to disable optiopns $retval['action'] = array( 'activity_comment', 'activity_update', 'created_group', 'friendship_created', 'joined_group', 'last_activity', //'new_avatar', 'new_blog_comment', 'new_blog_post', //'new_member', 'updated_profile' ); return $retval; } add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bpfr_activity_types' ); but all shared activities disappears, to show shared activities it’s necessary to add ‘bp_activity_share’ to the function, it’s the plugin option. like that function bpfr_activity_types( $retval ) { // comment line to disable optiopns $retval['action'] = array( 'activity_comment', 'activity_update', 'created_group', 'friendship_created', 'joined_group', 'last_activity', //'new_avatar', 'new_blog_comment', 'new_blog_post', //'new_member', 'updated_profile' 'bp_activity_share' ); return $retval; } add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bpfr_activity_types' );

    Gee, people like myself have only been needing something like this for years for sharing internal content on our buddypress streams. A lot of us have private community sites that have nothing to do with facebook and sharing to that platform is not what we’re after. It’s almost been a “who’s on first” situation with even trying to search for a plugin like this. Typing “wordpress sharing plugin” into anything anywhere returns nothing but plugins to share TO facebook, twitter, etc., everything but you’re own site. Very glad the two developers teamed up to get this out there for the community. Thanks! If I could suggest a feature that seems to be missing/working incorrectly, embeds. Embedded content such as YouTube link shares, certain media (another user pointed out mediapress content only showing links), etc. is not working as it should currently. Add that feature plus shares from Site Posts, Pages, and I know it would be a lot to ask but in a woocommerce vendor situation, sharing of stores and products would be amazing! This plugin is on the way to being an MVP for buddypress users wanting a real social network with all the bells and whistles which means sharing internal content internally.

    Hi! Thank you for that great plugin! But when I’m sharing an activity having a Mediapress media in, only the text is shared and not the media… Would it be possible to make it compatible with Mediapress like you did with RT Media? Thx!
