Nevermind, did it, and your 2nd query worked like a charm, @boonebgorges! Thanks
P.S. I did make a db backup, and will hang onto it just in case some wonkiness that I’m just not seeing yet crops up
@boonebgorges, thanks, and I have to ask why would you advise against doing it? Having those duplicates in the activity stream is actually an extremely bad thing for my site, because they are essentially items for sale. If a user is able to view the copy of a post made to my main site by the SWT plugin (as you are able to on certain posts that have been natively posted to one of my network’s child sites), the “add to form” cart renders using MY paypal info, rather than the seller’s info, as it does when you view the item on their site!
Here is an example of a child site post (copied to the main site via SWT) that you can get to via one of the duplicate activity entries:
http://www.riotcart.com/blog/2011/01/30/medium-juliette-skirty/
And here is the item on the seller’s own site (a child site on my network):
http://www.riotcart.com/hedgieshideaway/?p=115
As you can imagine, it’s extremely important that users/front-end viewers are NOT given the option of which version (the original or the copy to the main site) they’d like to click into!
@nahummadrid, I honestly have no idea what was going on. Like I mentioned, as soon as I removed the “before_blog_post” and “after_blog_post” BP codes from around my query for the featured post, the problem was non-existent, and I was able to just use the block activity stream types plugin you had recommended
For the record, here is my query for the featured post. I use the Featured Content Showcase plugin for various reasons, but it displays a slideshow. All I wanted was one static, random post with an image, title, and excerpt on each page load, so I dug around and found the meta key/velue that the FCS plugin was adding to posts marked as featured, and ran with it:
`$args=array(
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘numberposts’ =>1,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_fcs_featured’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘true’,
);$latest = get_posts($args);
$count = 0;
foreach($latest as $post) {$blogid = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘blogid’, true);
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘thumbnail’, true);
$title = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_fcs_title’, true);
$text = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_fcs_text’, true);
if ( empty($title) ) {
$title = get_the_title($post->ID);
}if ( empty($text) ) {
$text = $post->post_excerpt;
if ( post_password_required($post) ) {
$text = __(‘There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.’);
} elseif ( !empty($post->post_excerpt) ) {
$text = apply_filters(‘get_the_excerpt’, $post->post_excerpt);
} else {
$text = $this->_makeExcerpt($post->post_content);
}
}`Thanks for checking in!
I tried the fix that you linked to, but it didn’t work in my case
Oh, sorry, I thought that if I modified the parts referring to comments to specify blog posts instead, it would compare them to the blog id of ‘1’ and not display those (`if ( $parent->blog_id !== 1 )` ?). I’m kind of just taking shots in the dark on this and trying desperately to learn something in the process.
To be honest, I’m not even sure I put that code in the correct file, much less what it’s supposed to do just by looking at it
Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look after I put my daughter down to nap! It’s more than I had to go on thus far
Stuff I’ve tried that either seemed to do absolutely nothing, or make the activity stream stop loading altogether:
“

There have been more, but I can’t remember all of them
