What it does
On a BuddyPress community, members often have no idea who is looking at their profiles. This plugin records profile visits and shows each member a list of recent visitors, which gives people a reason to reach out and start a conversation. It also tracks which members get the most profile views, so you can point visitors toward popular users over periods such as the last 7 days or the last 30 days.
You decide where the information appears. Recent visitors can show up as a tab on user profiles and in the members directory, a widget can list the most visited users as a slider or a list, and shortcodes let you place visitor and popular user lists on any page. Admins can turn recording and display on or off by user role or subscription status, and members can choose whether their own visits are recorded.
Best for
- BuddyPress social networking and community sites
- Sites offering visitor insights to paying subscribers
- Community owners who want members interacting more

Questions about BuddyPress Recent Profile Visitors
Does this work without BuddyPress?
No. The plugin is built for BuddyPress and relies on it to provide member profiles, the members directory and profile tabs. You need BuddyPress running on your WordPress site for profile visits to be recorded and displayed.
Can I limit who sees profile visitor data?
Yes. Admins can enable or disable both the recording and the display of visits based on user roles or subscription status. This lets you offer visitor insights to certain groups of users, such as paying subscribers, while keeping them hidden from others.
Can members stop their visits from being recorded?
Yes. Members can toggle whether their visits to other profiles are recorded, which gives them control over their privacy. Admins can override this setting if the site needs visits recorded for everyone.
Where can I show recent visitors and popular users?
