I believe I found the cause. It was the BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin. Great plugin, but I can now no longer use it. Has anyone found a work around for the plugin?
Thanks for the advise. When I do that, it does not load the wall post text box or tabs that are normally found on the activity page. Do I have to copy the entire contents of /activity to my theme root?
That’s really too bad. Looks like it has been moved to a future release instead of 2.2 unfortunately.
Is there a way to replicate the Activity Loop, Comment Box, etc. on a separate homepage instead of using the ‘Activity Stream’ template?
For example, the theme I’m using allows me to display the activity loop using shortcode and that doesn’t seem to cause an issue. So, I think if I could build a front-page.php template that performed the activity loop, comments, etc., it would bypass the issue.
I tried to copy and paste the index.php content from buddypress/activity/ into a front-page.php file, and the formatting didn’t work out because I think all the references rely on the files being located in the original hierarchy.
