Good luck… although unfortunately I think you’ll find it’s not as simple as editing a template since the filters are generated by built-in functions rather than being hard coded in the way you are seeing in your screenshot 😉
Unfortunately I have the same problem with the theme I’m currently using but I tested my theory by switching to the Twenty Twenty theme and then changing to Nouveau and sure enough, the filter is showing correctly.
I’m going to need to find a better fix myself so will continue to investigate further and report back.
OK I’ve done a little further investigation and this seems to be an issue with Buddypress Legacy only.
If your theme allows you to switch to Buddypress Nouveau (go to Settings – Buddypress – Options) this should fix the problem.
If for some reason you can’t switch to Nouveau, the clue is in the difference between the two versions but I’ll need to do some further investigation to see exactly what’s happening and/or how to make the filter work as expected in Buddypress Legacy.
Thank you for getting back to me although sorry to hear you’re still looking for an answer.
Just out of curiousity, do you have a general activity feed where the filters are working OK (ie. no duplicates)? And what about on individual profiles?
In my case, the issue seems to be appearing across the board (ie. for all activity feeds) but if it’s only appearing on some feeds for you, that just might be a hint/something worth investigating.
I’ll definitely be looking into this further and will let you know if I find anything of interest.
Hi there… I’m experiencing the same problem ie. bbPress Topics and Replies are showing twice in the Activity filters.
Just a hunch but I’ve just upgraded from considerably older versions of BuddyPress and bbPress so wondering if there was some kind of data conversion in an interim version which I’ve missed.
comment action need to update based on Activity Type
This may be true (if I’m understanding correctly), however, the notification seems to be coming from Buddypress since it is the standard email that is generated when ANY response is made on ANY update. Somehow I want to filter this out so that comments on rtmedia updates generate a different email which I suspect may have as much to do with Buddypress as it does with rtmedia (although I am also waiting for support there too)…
If anyone has any suggestions as to a filter(?) perhaps that I could use, I would be very grateful.
Definitely not browser specific as I also tried Firefox and Chrome.
However… I’ve just tested on my semi-live dev server and it seems to be working OK, which seems to leave my localhost (xampp) as the culprit. Maybe a permissions setting on the database(?) – although everything else seems to work perfectly fine (even including updating the profile photo). Maybe some other xampp setting that conflicts with the latest version of Buddypress and the way it uploads/saves the cover image?
Since it seems to work on the dev server, I’m going to cross my fingers that it will also work live, so it’s no longer a major issue… still curious though as would be good to have the localhost version working too.
