    I am using the max parameter to limit the activiy stream but when I put in 5 for example it shows 5 items, then when I click “load more” further 5 items and further 5 items and so on.

    How to limit the items at all? Show ONLY the newest 5 items and no “load more”.

    I know that I might achieve that deleting the “if ( bp_activity_has_more_items() ) : ?>” at the activity template but is there a better way to do what I want?

    Please try setting per_page and max both. If that does not work, something is changing you max.

    I tried this but its not working???

    <?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ).'&max=5&per_page=5' ) ) : ?>

    &per_page=5 has the same effect as &max=5. It shows 5 items and the load more button. I deleted all plugins except buddypress and bp classic and use the latest twentysomething theme. So two args for the same result. Does that make sense?

    Hi Josh,
    You are right. The max does not work. Load more is still shown. The only way around it would be to filter on bp_activity_has_more_items and disable it.
