Hi Julia,
1.The Button:- It depends on the theme. So, it depends on your theme. You can’t get as it is from the BP default theme.

2. It is most probably your server. The activity response comes from server, I don’t see any delay on the js we have.

Please check by deactivating the plugin if your activity loads faster.

No problem.
You can put this code

/**
 * Disable recording for some users. These users will not appear in list from now onwards.
 *
 * @param bool $is_enabled is recording enabled.
 * @param int  $user_id the user id we are checking for.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function buddydev_custom_disable_visitor_recording( $is_enabled, $user_id ) {

	$disabled_user_ids = array( 1, 2 ); // add the user ids here.

	if ( in_array( $user_id, $disabled_user_ids ) ) {
		$is_enabled = false;
	}

	return $is_enabled;
}

add_action( 'visitor_is_visit_recordable', 'buddydev_custom_disable_visitor_recording', 10, 2 );

In your theme’s functions.php or in the bp-custom.php.

If you are uncomfortable with it, please drop me an email with ftp details and I will do it for you.

Thank you

Hi Julia,
It’s a good suggestion. Allow me to check the feasibility and get back to you in next 24 hours.

Thank you
Brajesh

Also, to answer your first question

We check if the user has a role, so if a user has 2 roles and one of those role matches, It will be recordable.

Thank you
Brajesh

I will be pushing the update tonight/tomorrow. It’s a small change, so you we can do it quickly.

Thank you
Brajesh
