    Hi there,
    I just started using BuddyPress for my membership site 2 weeks ago. Is there a way to have a page, kind of like the Home page of Facebook, where you see a news feed of everyone’s posts in the membership?

    I see that under each person’s Profile, there’s an Activity feed, but that only shows the activity of that person. I want members to be able to see the activity of everyone, all in one place.

    Thanks!

    I think there’s a few ways of achieving this, for one thing there’s a bunch of plugins that change the default activity feed in the members howmepage. Take a look at https://buddydev.com/plugins/facebook-like-user-activity-stream-for-buddypress/ That would make a good start.

    Another way is to Overload the activity-loop page in BuuddyPress, this basciall does what the plugins do, but without a plugin. You can take the default page from the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php and change the way the activity filters work for your site. It’s a bit more advanced but there’s plenty of forum posts about doing it.

    Thank you @venutius! I will pass this along to my web guy and we’ll implement it. Much appreciated.

    quick question:

    If we do the option to overload the activity loop will it be possible to have:

    -An activity feed showing activity from all members on our Home Page
    AND
    -On a members personal profile page, it just shows their personal activity stream?

    Yes you can do that, you can set new default filters for the activity to be shown.

    BuddyPress does not have this as a default option in the activity feed settings?

    I saw the “Youzer” plugin has a full-site activity feed like facebook, at http://www.mysite.com/activity/.

    Look up Wbcom Designs – Shortcodes & Elementor Widgets For BuddyPress in the wordpress.com plugin database. I used this to make a main feed with the activity shortcode they offer. But sitename.com/activity does it as well without any additional plugin.
