Topic is resolved. Comments were being restricted in them folders function.php. I added check for bp_is_group_single. Current code:

//Restrict access to BP to logged-in users only
function my_filter_activity( $loop ) {

// added 10/19/16 D.T. – show all comments in single group home page
if ( !bp_is_group_home() )
$loop[‘scope’] = ‘just-me,friends’;

return $loop;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_activities_parse_args’, ‘my_filter_activity’ );

Thanks all for the quick replies. I don’t mean to ignore all of your helpful questions and suggestions, but those may not be needed anymore.

After getting a chance to speak with a colleague who’s been out of the office for a while, I was able to identify the problem here. A function from a custom plugin was filtering both the bp_before_has_activities_parse_args and bp_after_has_activities_parse_args filters, and the specific problem was that it was setting $args['include'] to an empty string. This removed the comment ID that was supposed to be part of the query, and resulted in the wrong query. We don’t know why it was doing this in the first place, but it has been corrected and the infinite loop has been fixed.

Regardless, it may be beneficial to include some checking in this code to prevent the possibility of an infinite loop even for edge cases like this.

Really, I don’t know why, but is not working…

I add it like this in my themes faction.php

 add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', function( $retval ) {
   $retval['action'] = array(
        'activity_update',
        'activity_comment',
        'updated_profile',
    );
    return $retval;
} );

but nothing works.

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', function( $retval ) {
    // Convert $retval['action'] into an array.
    $parts = explode( ',', $retval['action'] );

    // Remove new_avatar items.
    if ( ( $key = array_search( 'new_avatar', $parts ) ) !== false ) {
        unset( $parts[$key] );
    }

// Remove updated_profile.
if ( ( $key = array_search( 'updated_profile', $parts ) ) !== false ) {
    unset( $parts[$key] );
}

    // Convert $parts back into a comma separated string.
    $retval['action'] = implode( ',', $parts );

    return $retval;
} );

@sharmavishal Thanks for the suggestion! “BuddyPress Wall” goes beyond what I’m looking for and seems to have quite a few unhappy users (Even most of the 5 star reviews are issues). So, I’m afraid it will cause more issues than it would solve.

I’ve found a tutorial here using bp_parse_args() to create an activity loop with ‘Personal’ and ‘Friends Activity’ only, but not a way to isolate the loop into its own subnav tab “All” (The code currently effects all activity loops universally [i.e. Friends, Personal, Mentions, Favorites, Site wide, all become Friends+Personal loops]).

Here’s the code to filter the activity loop into Friends+Personal,

function my_filter_activity( $loop ) {
    
    $loop['scope'] = 'just-me,friends';
 
    return $loop;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_filter_activity' );

The next step would be isolating the loop into an ‘All’ activity subnav tab/button.

Any ideas?

I tried it, but it din’t work. At least it didn’t stop the filter rules already set up, like they did when I tried before.. So only words with lion shows up, but also sea lion.. Even with the code set up exactly like yours. Like this:

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_241( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( is_page(241) ) {
         $filter_query[] = array(
        'relation' => 'OR',
        array(
    'column'  => 'content',
    'value'   => 'lion',
    'compare' => 'LIKE',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'sea lion',
        'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
    )
),
           array(
    'column'  => 'content',
    'value'   => 'lion',
    'compare' => 'LIKE',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'sea lion',
        'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
    )
  ),
);
    $retval['filter_query'] = $filter_query;
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_241' );

Okay, so what I tried now didn’t work, but that’s because I really do not know what I am doing. I’m just testing the waters with what I learned from the search terms and the code you just posted. I ended up having my functions.php file looking like this:

$filter_query[92] = array(
    'relation' => 'OR',
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   => 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat',
        'compare' => 'LIKE'
    ),
    array(
        'column'  => 'content',
        'value'   =>  'nyctimene rabori',
        'compare' => 'LIKE'
    )
);

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( is_page(92) ) {
        $retval['filter_query'] = $filter_query[92];
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92' );

And that clearly did not work, so what will work?

Thanks! I think I got it now!

I just added this to my functions.php:

function my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92( $retval ) {
    // Add search term for correct page
    if ( bp_is_page(92) ) {
        $retval['search_term'] = 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat';
    }
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_search_term_on_page_92' );

Do you think this will work? I do not have any ways to test if it actually works yet.. Another thing, how do I add multiple search terms? Everytime I tried adding another one I got an error, I tried doing this: $retval['search_term'] = 'philippine tube-nosed fruit bat', 'philippine tube-nosed bat', 'nyctimene rabori';

I figured it out. This will help everyone who has this question:

function omni_filter_activity( $retval ) {
    $retval['action'] = 'activity_update'; // change scope per action
    return $retval;
} add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'omni_filter_activity' );

Thanks Henry. I’ve got more info on this to help the core team fix this issue.

I think all WordPress conditionals are not working correctly inside the bp_after_has_activities_parse_args filter. Only BuddyPress conditionals are working inside it.

I also have custom member pages too using bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but WordPress conditionals inside that are all working fine, example:

// filter member pages
function cm_members_filter( $retval ) {

	if ( is_page('custom-page-3') ) {
		$retval['per_page'] = 1;
	}	
	
	if ( is_page('custom-page-4') ) {
		$retval['per_page'] = 5;
	}	
	
	if ( is_search() ) {  
		$retval['per_page'] = 3;
	}	
		
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'cm_members_filter' );

It is just the activity parse args that is having problems with WordPress conditionals. I can provide further info to help figure out why WordPress conditionals don’t work correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args, it has something to do with the way ajax is used on the load more button to load more items:

If I remove activity ajax features by removing <div class=”activity”></div> or by removing bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.min.js. The load more button now works like a pagination next page button (similar to the members directory pagination). This makes the WordPress conditionals work fine and all my custom activity pages are now filtering correctly.

So to conclude, WordPress conditionals are working OK inside bp_after_has_members_parse_args, but they are not working correctly inside bp_after_has_activities_parse_args unless the activity ajax is removed.
