Buddypress activity loop filters

[fullworksmedia]

Hi there,

I spent hours trying to figure out how to exclude from the site-wide activity things like ‘user uploaded new avatar’, ‘user created new group’ etc.

Any ideas how to do that?

Many thanks,

Adam

Hi @fullworksmedia,

Have you tried the BuddyPress Activity Filters plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-activity-filter/#description?

Thanks,

Kieran

Hi Kieran,
Thanks for your reply. I’ve checked this plugin before but unfortunately it doesn’t solve the problem.
I can hide some activities from the dropdown but I’d like to be able to remove these activities completely from the loop and not just hide because when I go to ‘everything’ in the filter it still shows things like ie ‘xxx changed their profile picture’ or ‘Anne profile was updated’. The idea is to remove these from the activity loop completely.

Any ideas?

That’s what I needed 🙂 Fixed now in case anyone needs this code.

// budypress activity stream – remove some activities
function buddypress_dont_save_some_activity( $activity_object ) {

$exclude = array( ‘new_avatar’, ‘updated_profile’, ‘friendship_created’, ‘joined_group’, ‘created_group’ );

if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}
add_action( ‘bp_activity_before_save’, ‘buddypress_dont_save_some_activity’, 1, 15 );
