I’m experiencing this issue, where edited bbress forum posts keep showing up again in the buddypress activity feed.

I saw that there is a ticket and patch for this. The question is how do I install a patch? Do I just ftp to my server and drop the patch file into the appropriate directory?

It looks like it’s patching this bbpress file: src/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php

Ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690

Patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2690/2690.01.patch

I figured out to put the file in the directory and then to ssh to the directory and run this command:

patch < 2690.01.patch

But when I did that I got this back:

patching file activity.php
Hunk #1 FAILED at 275.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file activity.php.rej

Does that mean the patch is outdated?
