    Hi Nick,
    Thank you for the question.

    Please allow me to check it. We might be able to update our shortcode and include the option for showing online users.

    Regards

    Good morning, Brajesh.

    Would you have a timescale for this?

    Would love to implement this on my site 🙂

    Hi Nick,
    Sorry for the delaye.

    @ravisharma     checked the plugin today and found that you can use

    
type=online

    in the current shortcode to find the online members(BuddyPress considers user online if they have been active in last 15 minutes. This duration can be customized via a hook).

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Nick,
    Thank you for the reply.

    By default BuddyPress will list any user who was active in last 15 minutes(even if logged out now) as online.

    Is that happening or is it not doing that?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Yes, Brajesh, its doing it!

    I forgot about the last 15 minutes rule 😀 ( is it complicated to adjust that 15 mins down to say like 5 mins? )

    Great support as always!

    Hi Bick,
    Thank you.

    Sure, you can use this code for changing the time.

    

/**
 * Change the number of minutes used as interval for considering user online.
 */
add_filter( 'bp_user_query_online_interval', function ( $interval_in_minutes ) {
	return 5;// 5 minutes.
} );

    Please put it in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or your-current-active-theme/functions.php

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi, Brajesh,

    Thanks so much for the code

    <?php
// your php custom code goes below this line.
/**
 * Change the number of minutes used as interval for considering user online.
 */
add_filter( 'bp_user_query_online_interval', function ( $interval_in_minutes ) {
        return 5;// 5 minutes.
} );

    Is this correct to make up the bp-custom.php file? Using Notepad +++ then saving as a php file & loading it to wp-content/plugins?

    Seems to give my site a critical error, i must be creating the file wrongly,

    Many thanks,
    Nick
