For a child-theme I’m developing there is area on the site in which only the last 5 activities should show and not the default of 20.

This page shows there is a per_page option but this isn’t clear on how to write the code.

As always, thank you.

I’m using that although I have a problem where it shows all updates but minus the very latest. >: /

Sorry I don’t know how to display code in here, I’ll try wrapping it in .

Didn’t work…

if ( bp_has_activities('action=activity_update&per_page=5') ) : bp_the_activity();

omitting php tags…

If you’re modifying the AJAX activity stream, you need to modify the $query_string.

Read this thread for pointers:

put this in your functions.php in your theme

function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=10′;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );

you just change per_page option as you need…
it’s run for me, you can see here http://blog.uin-malang.ac.id
