hi. i want new topics and replies to show up in the activity stream, but right now they are not.

i added this to bp-custom.php:

add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'buddypress-activity' );

which works, but with a generic “UserName wrote a new item.” it seems like there must be a better, easier way to tie the two together. looking at the bbpress files, i see this:

public function register_activity_actions() {

// Sitewide activity stream items
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->topic_create, esc_html__( 'New forum topic', 'bbpress' ) );
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->reply_create, esc_html__( 'New forum reply', 'bbpress' ) );
}

i don’t know if they’re not getting called or they’re conflicting with something or what, but they aren’t doing what it seems like they should be doing. is there a setting i’m missing to activate this feature?

little help?

Hi,
You seem to refer to BuddyPress, this here is the bbPress forum… So it’s probably better to ask on the BuddyPress forum 🙂
