BuddyBoss Announces Revamped Activity Feed, Polls & Massive Performance Improvements

Graham from BuddyBoss has just announced the first product update in 2024 for the WordPress community and course platform, introducing a revamped activity feed, massive performance improvements, and much more.

New Features

The new BuddyBoss update not only improves the look and feel of your activity feed, but also gives you more control over notifications and comments, and cuts page load times in half!

Have a look at what’s new:

• Redesigned Activity Feed: Significant visual improvements have been made to make it easier to read and engage with posts.
• Turn off Notifications & Comments: You can now take control of your notifications and silence the noise on posts that no longer interest you. Moderators can even close comments altogether on certain posts.
• View more Comments: Easily reduce clutter and improve scrolling with a View More button for comments. Plus, comments now load in a modal for a more focused reading experience.
• Performance Boost: The BuddyBoss team has drastically reduced page requests, so your community will (hopefully) feel lightning fast.

What’s Next?

Read on for a sneak peek at the Q2 roadmap:

• Schedule Posts: Plan your content in advance and keep your community engaged with scheduled posts.
• Polls: Spark conversations and gather valuable insights with built-in polling functionality. After Reactions, this is one of the most important missing features in BuddyBoss for community engagement.
• Notification Digests: No more notification overload as BuddyBoss implements solution to streamline notification delivery.

Finally, BuddyBoss will introduce a new custom app navigation bar for a more user-friendly experience and redesigned app group headers with direct access to feeds. Stay tuned!
