Hello thanks for the plugin, it is really useful. With the recent updates your plugin
started to call error, can you please fix it?: get_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_activity')
was called incorrectly. User last_activity data is no longer stored in usermeta.
Use bp_get_user_last_activity() instead. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more
information. (This message was added in version 2.0.0.)
