New blog posts are not showing in the Activity stream

[vasikgreif]

Is there a setting to make new blog posts show in the Activity stream, as on the demo page?

I’m also trying to add custom post type with the following code, but I guess that cannot work as long as the regular posts are not showing:

COPY CODE

add_filter ( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', 'activity_publish_custom_post_types',1,1 );
function activity_publish_custom_post_types( $post_types ) {
    $post_types[] = 'second-hand';
    return $post_types;
}

add_filter('bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action', 'record_cpt_activity_action', 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action, $post, $post_permalink ) {
    global $bp;
    if( $post->post_type == 'second-hand' ) {

        $activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s created a new second hand item, %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '' . $post->post_title . '' );

    }
   return $activity_action;
}

Buddypress is only going to show activity that has taken place after Buddypress has been installed. It will show you any activity after the plugin install

Hi Gabriela, installing BuddyPress was the very first thing I did, but still after adding a new blog post, nothing is in the Activity…

You have to turn on tracking of stuff external to BP, here’s how…

Site Admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Components tab > Tick “Site Tracking” then Save
