Plugin Review – BuddyPress Activity Social Share
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-activity-social-share/
Version Tested: V 1.0.0
BuddyPress Activity Social Share is a simple plugin that adds various social share options to BuddyPress Actvity items.
Installation is pretty straightforward, after installing and activating the plugin there is a settings screen in Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress Share where you are able to configure and select the social share icons that you want to have displayed. You can also choose to have these options open a pop-up window when selected.
Once you have configured the plugin, a new “Share” button will be diplayed against entries in the sites activity feed, and when pressed the social share icons will be displayed. Clicking on one of them will cause a pop-up window to be displayed opening up the share dialogue with that social site.
from my first look at this plugin it seemed to be pretty well put together though I do feel there are some opportunities for improvement, including adding more than the handfull of social icon that come with this plugin, the ability to change the name of the button (there are other plugins that add a share button to the Activity feed, things might get confusing! OVerall I give this plugin 9 out of 10.

Does not pull thumbnail
Its a great plugin but unfortunately it does not pull the thumbnail from the posts and leaves a blank sample image. I am using Youzer with buddypress. I will definately give 5 stars for this plugin.

Will Give 5 Stars if this can be done!
Is there a way to edit the image being shared? As for when sharing it only shares the image of the site, not the image of the post.
Some people will not like that when using this option.
Just a thought.
Thank you in advance 🙂

Needs an update
Currently it causes an issue where it duplicates posts into the fold of the header.
For some of my posts my content was duplicated and I had to deactivate this plugin because of this issue

Hi, Thank you for this. Its the best looking share button that doesn’t look out of place on my activity feed. However, when I try to share, it will only share the Log In page, not the specific activity…any tips on that? How do I override the whole members only thing when it comes to sharing from buddypress? Gracias for anything you can share…
Hi there,
Would you have any other plugins or settings making your BuddyPress pages private?
I have used your plugin. When I am sharing the activity then it shows logo only with wrong page title without activity content.
Basically, I need preview image if any of activity and content.
WordPress : 4.6.1
BbPress : 2.5.10
BuddyPress: 2.6.2
