Re: BuddyPress and WP Custom Post Types?
@JacobPolavieja Yup — by default BP treats WP Custom Post types like normal blog posts and inherits the standard functionality. BPCP sidesteps the whole WP display, etc. procedure, and makes custom post types behave like a component in BP — if you were to register a post type using BPCP too, you’d get activity stream integration, a separate directory for that particular post type, a front end editor that mimics the back end admin screen to an extent (inheriting custom widgets you add, etc — this will be slowly improved over time), and default theme files that are automatically picked up from within the plugin unless you have replacements defined in your themes folder.
