    I created a custom post type “Diary” to use with Buddyblog Pro. It works well, except that the new posts nor the comments appear in the activity stream.

    This is what I added to bp-custom.php:

    
        // Don't forget to add the 'buddypress-activity' support!
        add_post_type_support( 'diary', 'buddypress-activity' );
    
    function customize_page_tracking_args() {
        // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
        if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
            return;
        }
    
        /**
         * Also don't forget to allow comments from the WordPress Edit Page screen
         * see this screencap https://cldup.com/nsl4TxBV_j.png
         */
     
        bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'diary', array(
            'component_id'                      => 'activity',
            'action_id'                         => 'new_diary',
            'bp_activity_admin_filter'          => __( 'Published a new diary', 'buddypress' ),
            'bp_activity_front_filter'          => __( 'Diary', 'buddypress' ),
            'bp_activity_new_post'              => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">diary</a>', 'buddypress' ),
            'contexts'                          => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
            'activity_comment'                  => false,
            'position'                          => 100,
        ) );
    }
    add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_page_tracking_args' ); 
    

    Please help me to fix this.

    Hi Hugo,
    Thank you for using BuddyBlog Pro.
    Please remove the custom code and visit BuddyBlog->Settings->Diary tab and make sure you enable the BuddyPress activity integration.

    Try posting after that and let me know if that works or not?

    Regards

    It works now, thank you!
    Just one more thing: how can I disable comments in the activity feed, so people can’t reply on feed posts but only on the cpt itself?

    Hi Hugo,
    Thank you for confirming.

    Please disable the commenting option from blog from Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress->Options page.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh,
    Thank you.
    However I would like to disable feed comments for Diary cpt only, not for the whole activity feed. How can I do that?
    Regards

    Hi Hugo,
    That option only disables it for post type comments in activity. so, it will disable that for the story as well as any other post type’s comment in activity stream.

    Hi Brajesh,

    About new posts appearing in the activity stream: it looks like these messages only appear in the personal stream, not in the general stream (I am using Facebook Like User Activity Stream) as they should.

    They do appear in the default BP activity stream, but only my own posts. When I publish a new post it appears in the default activity stream and in the personal stream of my profile. But a post created by someone else doesn’t.

    Please help!

    Hi Hugo,
    Thank you.

    That depends on whether the post type is public or private. If a post type is private and you have activity integration enabled, It will appear in your personal stream.

    If the post type is public, It will appear in the sitewide stream.

    Hi Brajesh,

    I checked my Buddyblog settings and can confirm my form is set to public: Enable post visibility = yes,
    Default post visibility = public.
    Nevertheless the posts don’t appear in the activity stream.
    What could be wrong?

    Regards

    Hugo

    Hi Hugo,
    Thank you for the reply.

    I was referring to your post type. How did you register the post type? Is the post type registered as public or private?

    Regards
    Brajesh
