BuddyPress.org

Hello, BuddyPress Community!

I have the plugin DW Reactions installed (https://wordpress.org/plugins/dw-reactions). It doesn’t integrate with BuddyPress. Assuming BuddyPress “activities” were a custom post type, I thought integrating it myself would be no problem. Well, after some digging, I noticed that activities were stored in the database as their own type of object (am I using the term “object” correctly?) and not as custom post types. DW Reactions is written to work with post types. I imagine that’s why it doesn’t work with BuddyPress activities.

Is there a way to make activities register as a custom post type? If that’s not possible, is there a quick fix to make a plugin reference activities instead of posts?

Or, is there anyone reading this who is familiar with DW Reactions and might know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help. Here are my answers to the questions in on of the sticky posts, in case they’re needed.
