Replying to me.

After pasting the above code you will see a new widget- (Recently Active Member Custom) in the widget sections. Add it at your respective place and it works.

Hi All,
I googled a lot and read many posts but found no code snippet to show member names along the profile avatars of the BP Recently Active Members widget. So i created my own widget and that is super easy to do. I took the core class of the above widget did a single line modification to display names also and registered it as a widget through functions.php
Just paste the below code in functions.php of your child theme and it will work.

class wpb_widget extends WP_Widget {

function __construct() {
parent::__construct(

// Base ID of your widget
‘wpb_widget’,

// Widget name will appear in UI
__(‘Recently Active Member Custom’, ‘wpb_widget_domain’),

// Widget description
array( ‘description’ => __( ‘Sample widget based on WPBeginner Tutorial’, ‘wpb_widget_domain’ ), )
);
}

// Creating widget front-end

public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
global $members_template;

// Get widget settings.
$settings = $this->parse_settings( $instance );

/**
* Filters the title of the Recently Active widget.
*
* @since 1.8.0
* @since 2.3.0 Added ‘instance’ and ‘id_base’ to arguments passed to filter.
*
* @param string $title The widget title.
* @param array $settings The settings for the particular instance of the widget.
* @param string $id_base Root ID for all widgets of this type.
*/
$title = apply_filters( ‘widget_title’, $settings[‘title’], $settings, $this->id_base );

echo $args[‘before_widget’];
echo $args[‘before_title’] . $title . $args[‘after_title’];

$max_limit = bp_get_widget_max_count_limit( __CLASS__ );
$max_members = $settings[‘max_members’] > $max_limit ? $max_limit : (int) $settings[‘max_members’];

// Setup args for querying members.
$members_args = array(
‘user_id’ => 0,
‘type’ => ‘active’,
‘per_page’ => $max_members,
‘max’ => $max_members,
‘populate_extras’ => true,
‘search_terms’ => false,
);

// Back up global.
$old_members_template = $members_template;

?>
