Thanks all for the fantastic forum! It’s an amazing resource.

I have a plugin that creates a custom post type called “lightning_posttype”. In the main plugin PHP file, I have the following:

add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types', 'activity_lightning_posts' );
add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', 'activity_lightning_posts' );

Then, in a separate PHP file (required earlier in the main PHP script), I have the following function:

function activity_lightning_posts($post_types) {
    $post_types[] = 'lightning_posttype';
    return $post_types;
}

At this point my posts are showing up in the activity feed perfectly, but the comments are not. I’ve been reading and experimenting for quite some time, but can’t seem to find the magic combo.

Any hints greatly appreciated!

If you’re using BP 2.2 +, you should use this approach instead:

Post Types Activities

My cpts appear.
However, comments on them do not appear in the activity stream.

Perhaps because I didn’t create a component for those cpts – I hope that is not the case.
Hopefully this ticket will provide an answer.

That’s really helpful context, Shane. Many thanks! Too bad about comments not being supported. Seems like something lots of folks would want!
