This plugin provides neat chatrooms into BuddyPress groups. Each Group admin can enable a group Chat room, available for all group members to view and post.
The Chat area provides an ajax chat room which displays the most recent messages along with timestamps and usernames. It also has a “who’s online” area which shows other group members viewing the Chat page.

Chat messages support links, embeded video is supported an it’s possible to call in another site member to the chat using @mentions.
I’ve introduced rudimentary threads support. The behavior is that a new message, posted more then 15 minutes after the last message will be marked as a new thread. All messages posted after that initial message will be regarded as part of that thread. After 15 minutes the thread will be deemed closed and if posting of threads to group activity is enabled then all messages in the thread will be posted in a single activity update. I’m expecting this functionality to change as the plugin develops.
Currently the chat supports text chat and the sharing of links. I’m interested in adding further features but would like to see some user requests for the same.
This plugin was originally created by David Cartwright and has been forked by Venutius. It includes an emoji set which was sourced from WP Emoji One by Monchito.net.
This plugin runs from your own server, no chat data leaves your site. This has has the benefit of minimizing your exposure regarding user privacy and GDPR, however chat will be as responsive as your server and can be laggy because of this. User conversations are stored for one month then deleted.

Plugin will create lots of users, messages, friends connections, groups, topics, activity items, profile data – useful for testing purpose.
All imported users will have avatars, generated by 8biticon.com and displayed by Gravatar.
Please use this plugin with caution and not on a live site! Again, USE FOR TESTING THEMES AND PLUGINGS, NOT ON A STAGING SITE WITH LIVE DATA. Plugin should not mess with your live data, but not guaranteed.
Clear BuddyPress button will delete all data, that was generated by this plugin: messages, groups, notifications, friends, forum posts, xprofile. Plugin won’t reimport data if clicked twice.
And turn off email notifications in profile (friendship accepted and messages received) – or you will spam yourself 🙂 Imported users have these settings already turned off.

BuddyPress Default Data

This is a great utility plugin. It saved me lots of time and worked perfectly as described.
Thanks Slava!



Easy to use and fast

I love this plugin because it has saved me so much time in the past by automating the members/groups/profiles creation. It's still my 2nd plugin that is installed (after BuddyPress) for any BP-related development site.

PS: I'm testing reviews as well.

Love this little plugin!

I use this plugin every time I work on my BuddyPress plugin. Saves me a TON of time adding test users and data. I particularly like the granularity of the data you can add. And the easy removal of test data. Thanks for such a great plugin!

Super helpful plugin. Love it!

Works!
