Additional Notes

Space admins can now choose which page to use as their ‘home’ tab. These can be any page that isn’t admin only (such as settings), nor those created via custom tabs. Space owners will be able to change their ‘home’ tab using a new dropdown on the ‘tabs and buttons’ page in their Space settings. It is recommended that Space owners disable the dedicated link for the chosen default tab, so the page isn’t duplicated in the menu. Additionally, site administrators can choose a default ‘home’ page, via the general Space settings in the backend. If a selection is made, the Space-specific dropdown box will be hidden, and the new default ‘home’ page used from that point.

-----

Site administrators can now direct users to a different page when any ‘Create Space’ link is clicked. This may be useful when you have a monetization workflow in operation. To do so, use the following filter.

add_filter( 'wpe_wps_get_create_page_url', 'custom_create_space_page' );

function custom_create_space_page() {

return 'https://spacesengine.com';

}

-----

We have changed the way activity feeds work. If the site administrator has unticked the relevant activity checkbox under BuddyBoss activity settings, the main feed will display activity from ALL Spaces, matching the way BuddyBoss handles group activity. If the relevant activity box is ticked, users will only see activity from Spaces they have engaged with by clicking the follow button. Individual user timelines, such as those un user profiles, will now also show activity from Spaces they follow. Space admins will continue to need to follow the Spaces they administrate, to see activity.
