To the BuddyPress Team and everyone else who was ever trying to figure out how to offically get the featured image to display the Featured image Inside the Buddypress activity item excerpts. Also please to the BuddyPress team, include this code in your new update. This will support themes like mine with custom code. No BS too, this really works!
Here is the code that will fix you’re issue (place the following code into your functions.php file):
That’s the thing, I’ve been trying to figure out what’s conflicting between the two, the code above is what I figured out. All that needs to be done is a small code like the code above, using bp_activity_secondary_item_id in the code, that will work in my functions.php file.
I coded a custom theme to work with buddypress. This is literally the last bit of code I have to implement to it before I release it. And say if I did switch it to the buddypress default theme, the featured image would show up, however all the amazing features and functions I built for it will be gone. There is something conflicting with the buddypress code and my theme. So I narrowed it down to the code in the link above. That’s all that needs to be fixed, plus the code needs to be in my functions.php file, that’s where the code above is from.
@ John James Jacoby first off I’m not giving some kind of attitude to you guys so I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s very frustrating to me when I’ve been trying to figure this out for over a year, and I’m so close to completing this all I need is for the ID to be associated with the featured image attached to the specific post. I’m saying part of it is your code because if it worked with all themes it would be very easy for everyone that’s somewhat advanced with php. I understand it’s a weekend however I run a business just as busy as buddypress and I’m still working. All I need is a small answered question. It’s nothing difficult, especially for you guys. This should take maybe an hour or two out of you’re day, plus I’m willing to hire one of you guys to figure this out for me if it’s too difficult.
How is it that I’m on the buddypress actual forum and no one, not even the creators of this plugin have an answer for me. I don’t know if anyone knows my company, but I could hire some Buddypress developer to figure this out for me. You guys built this code, how is it possible there is no answer for this? It’s not logic!
