    hi Brajesh,

    I’ve (re-)found your activity filter guide here: https://buddydev.com/set-default-filter-buddypress-activity/and am using it like this:$filter = ‘activity_update, created_group, new_blog_post, new_blog_comment’;

    I’ve also dumped my cookies and reloaded. However, the blog comments simply refuse to show *until* I use the popup filter selector to show comments. Then the comments appear, but disappear again when I use “Everything”.

    It’s rather odd…

    Ah, slowly making progress here. It appears the comment (on the buddyBlog post) is being saved to the database just fine. It’s just not being displayed in the activity feed. To be clear, it’s the “$user commented on the post $post_title” activity entry is not being displayed *unless* one *shows* comments explicitly from the buddyPress activity-filter popup selector. So, I think it’s the “default items/types to show” is wrong. Now just to find that…

    hi Brajesh,

    thanks for your helpful feedaback and tips. I’ve added the bp-custom.php code to “manually” insert the activity and still nothing. I think there must be something screwy going on in my code somewhere, which is blocking the blog-comment-activity add somehow, so I’ll investigate that further – closing.

    hi Brajesh,

    nope, I’m not aware of any custom post type on my site. Maybe there’s an appropriate hook/function I can use to manually add the activity entry correctly myself?

    yep, “Site Tracking” is enabled. Comments are posted into the activity feed against photos/images (mediaPress OK), but not against blog posts (buddyBlog NOT OK) posts 🙁

    Just to be clear here, the commenting is fine across the site. It’s the posting into the activity feed which is non-functional for buddyBlog posts only.

    Closing as the original ticket appears to be unresolvable – it’s not a bug, it’s a feature 😉

    hi Brajesh,

    ok, I’ll try “a lightbox plugin”, (I presume you mean *any* WP lightbox plugin), to see if that helps. It’s frustrating that this will mean the lightboxes will *not* be identical though. However, if you have any recommendations that works well with mediaPress / buddyBlog, I’m all ears.

    hi Brajesh,

    just a minute, let’s not lose track of what we’re talking about here. I’m using BuddyBlog with SFEP, (both your plugins), *because* they work well *with* MediaPress (also your plugin). Therefore I’m not expecting any incompatibility here between your buddyBlog and your mediaPress.

    Or am I missing something obvious…?

    I don’t think I’m using any special lightbox. Just the one “out of the box”, which comes with MediaPress.

    hi Brajesh,

    here’s a link where you can see the behaviour, all media linked to “Media File”.

    NB. there’s another (harmless) naked image there, if you want to hide the URL, that’s ok with me 😉
