BuddyPress Conditional Tags: Checking for Personal Activity Pages

Hello, coders! Today, I want to share a quick tip I discovered while working on a project. I needed to modify some text on the personal activity page in BuddyPress and was searching for a conditional tag to check whether the current page was a personal activity page. After some exploration, I found the solution, and I’m excited to share it with you.

BuddyPress Conditional Tags

BuddyPress has a variety of conditional tags that can be used to check the type of page being viewed. In this case, we want to check if the current page is a personal activity page, which can be navigated to from the member profile page by clicking on the activity tab.

The conditional tags we need are:

bp_is_user_profile() /* will check the current page as personal profile */
bp_is_user_activity() /* will check the current page as personal activity */

How to Use the Conditional Tags

To use these conditional tags, simply add them to your theme’s template file or in a custom plugin where you want to modify the text or functionality. For example:

if ( bp_is_user_activity() ) {
    // Your code to modify the text or functionality on the personal activity page
}

By using the bp_is_user_activity() conditional tag, you can target the personal activity page and make the desired changes.

Happy coding 🙂
