Posts Comments in Activity

[Dre]

Am I correct in saying that the Posts Comments should be visible in the Activity Stream wall?

IT’s not working for me.

I have ticked the “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” option in buddy press settings.

Cheers,

Dre

Hi @londonreal add something like this in functions.php of child theme on the basis of your custom post type for which you want to trigger activity comment or activity for the post type.

add_post_type_support( 'page', 'buddypress-activity' );

or
if your post type is events

add_post_type_support( 'events', 'buddypress-activity' );

let me know if that resolve your issue

Doesn’t seem to have made a difference.

If I get it to work will it also load the Ajax commenting system for post comments?

[Varun Dubey]

might be some misunderstanding, let me clear , you want to display post comments in activity or you want to load post comment will be display on activity with ajax load when they are triggered on any post ?

The first part I definitely need, the second part I would like to be possible.

I am very happy with the way the Wall activity works and I have made the main page of my membership website the main Activity feed, I would like for any commenting on any section of the site to update this LIVE.

At the moment Post comments, event comments and page comments (the default WP ones) do not link into activity at all

Hi @londonreal Activity auto-refresh setting will do the same , just enable it from buddypress settings

@vapvarun that is already enabled as is the option

“Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts”

but no post comment ever appears in activity.

@brian you need to ensure that the BP component Site Tracking is enabled. You’ll find this in Settings => BuddyPress. You may also need to allow search engines to search the site, this is found in Settings => Reading and select Allow search engines to index this site.

The site tracking is needed for BP to add posts and comments to the activity stream. As for the search engine indexing, I know that in times past, if search engines were blocked, then BP would track the site either. I don’t know if this was ever changed in BP so just double-check that setting.

Hi @londonreal , Post comments are also getting into the activity and also activity refresh is loading them. You can PM me with your site login details, I will check on your site as well.

Overall it is not a bug just a configuration issue.
