Hide certain events from activity stream

[jazzbuzz]

Hi there,

 

I would like to hide certain info from activity stream.

 

Used your snippet from the blog but does not work. I keep getting a white page after submitting functions.php.

 

Where is the issue?

 
//Block certain activity types from being added
function bp_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array(
‘updated_profile’,
‘new_member’,
‘new_avatar’,
‘friendship_created’,
‘joined_group’
);

 

Thank you 🙂

Hi Laura,

Thank you 🙂

It keeps showing me a white page and I cannot find an error in the code. Could you please check it again?

Thank you 🙂

Hello, you could try with this, go to the main theme files, copy the file activity-loop.php found buddypress – activity
and go to the child theme, create 2 new folders, “buddypress” and inside create a new folder “activity” now paste the file and edit it

Find

COPY CODE

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>

Replace it with

COPY CODE

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=activity_update' ) ) : ?>

Did everything like you said. Tried below code in functions.php and bp-custom.php but keep getting a white page even after changing the activity-loop.php 🙁

Where is the issues? 🙁

COPY CODE

//Block certain activity types from being added
function bp_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array(
'updated_profile',
'new_member',
'new_avatar',
'friendship_created',
'joined_group'
);
