    Hi Brajesh,

    I am using Buddypress with Geodirectory (GD), and GD integrates with BP to create activities when a new listing is created in GD (as an update) or when a lisitng is reviewed (as a comment on the listing creation update).

    While i was able to see the activity created for new lisitngs, but the reviews were not displaying activities, so I had flagged it to GD. They have replied saying that the FB Like Activity (FBL) plugin is preventing this, and the review activity is being displayed when the FBL plugin is deactivated.

    I am attaching screenshots of the activity stream with the FBL deactivated, and after it is activated.

    FBL inactive : https://prnt.sc/o9ffdg
    FBL active : https://prnt.sc/o9ffx9

    Do please suggest how to fix this?

    thanks
    Vivek

    Can you please suggest a solution for this?

    Hi Brajesh- just following up on this one. Had several threads going on at that time, and it seems both of us missed this one.

    Could you please let me know if there is a fix to this yet?

    thanks,
    Vivek

    Hi Vivek,
    I have been trying to recreate it but could not.

    If you check with normal blog post/comment, It works.

    The Geo directory article/reviews are post types/comments, so they should work.

    I have been looking at our code and there are 2 things that I noted.

    1. We filter activity entries and limit to certain user ids(depending on context) and we also check that the hide_sitewide is set to 0 non personal activity.

    In other words, the possible reasons why Geodirectory is not working could be 1 of the three
    1.Either Geodirectory saves activity with custom hide_sitewide option which is non zero
    2. Or the user is not attributed correctly
    3. Or they are filtering on activity query themselves and the FB like stream is overwriting them.

    I am not sure which case is happening as I don’t have their BuddyPress integration.

    Will it be feasible for you to allow me to access to your phpmyadmin to confirm that 1/2 is the case or not?

    Thank you
    Brajesh
