To make life a HELL OF A LOT EASIER. I just found a great plugin that works perfectly. Wish I found this before hehe… Why do they have to make wordpress so archaic and cumbersome to figure out simple things… 🙂

You rock KieranSQ!!

Okay so is what I discovered. I was looking in the activity folder in the CHILD THEME and not the main Sweet Date parent Theme. This is easily done since there are literally 3 places where the activity-loop.php is in multiple places on the site (theme, child, plugins).

So, conclusively, I can assert that the activity-loop.php that changes the activity stream page is in the parent folder and that it can easily be customized. Use the following link for details:

Perhaps I didnt check on the parent theme just the child but your last post made me clue in.

Thanks yall.. I left you a great review btw.

Cheers!

Once again – thanks for the top notch customer service!

You are correct, that is the article I was working from. However, and herein lies my confusion….There isnt a file named -> /sweetdate-child/activity/activity-loop.php

There is one named -> activity-wall-loop.php which as far as I can tell has the same code. HOWEVER, when I modify the line below – I am still seeing updates from unwanted steams.

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ).’&object=groups,friends,status,blogs’ ) ) : ?>

Once figured out fully – I would be more than happy to put together a brief step-by-step article for your tutorials. I think this is an important feature to figure out – since it makes cluttered site to a clean one.

Any ideas why its not sticking even though Ive modded the activity-wall-loop.php (cleared caches, hard refreshed, different browers on different network etc).

Cheers!

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for your reply – I will keep an eye on it. Never really considered that I might have to remove old posts – even after adding the code. That is a great tip and very helpful.

You have amazing tech. support by the way. Ive been running a web design company for over 15 years now and have dealt with dozens of joomla/wordpress businesses. Your attention to detail and willingness to help people is by far what makes you stand out and builds confidence in the users.

Good stuff!

NOTE – I just checked and it looks like it might still be creating new activity streams for new users etc. Can I get a confirmation that the activity-wall file in the sweetdate child activity folder is what is influencing the final site code? (if so then I will only focus on that one file – instead of the plug ins/main theme/ etc. )

I got it sorted out thanks to Radu’s post on another entry – added the css to quick css and the post updates button is now working.

Thank you! 🙂
