Should somebody gracefully help me answer this question, please note that I only want all the restrictions mentioned above to be effective on personal activities, and not group or forum activities.

I tried looking into the hiding the likes and was able to achieve a result the nonconventional way which ofcourse is not advisable, that is by going directly into the buddyboss code “buddyboss-platform/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php/” right after line 1130 below $return_str = ''; and added the following code

/* CFW Site Admin, Staff, and Activity Owner should see all the likes, otherwise display only the particular user like */
	$jlw_cur_user = bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$jlw_activity_user = bp_get_activity_user_id();

	// CFW Check whether it is Admin, Staff or Activity Owner
	if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) || $jlw_cur_user == $jlw_activity_user ) {

and then I went down, somewhere around line 1204 or 1210, since few lines were added above.
Above the line that says return $return_str; and added the following code

} else { // CFW Closes the if statement and begin an else
		if ( 1 <= $like_count ) {
			if ( $current_user_fav ) {
				$return_str = __( 'You like this', 'buddyboss' );
			}
		}
	} // CFW Closes the else statement

This works for the like, The post owners and admin users see all the likes, while other users see only “You like this” is he/she did like it, or doesn’t see anything if he/she didnot like it; however, the restriction is being applied everywhere, including group posts etc.

I couldn’t make any progress on the comments, it seems just difficult.
Any help, and I will really appreciate.

Once again,
Thanks in advance
