You can try @imath solution and edit it accordingly to include bbpress.

/* beginning of the code to paste in the functions.php of your active theme */

‘function imath_activivity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
// friendship_created is fired when a member accepts a friend request
// joined_group is fired when a member joins a group.
$exclude = array( ‘friendship_created’, ‘joined_group’);

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

‘add_action(‘bp_activity_before_save’, ‘imath_activivity_dont_save’, 10, 1 );’

@sharmavishal: It doesn’t seem to work for me
I put Blocked Activity Types:
new_forum_topic, new_forum_post
and the bbPress topics and replies still go thru

@naijaping and anyone, what should the code be? Like this? :

// Filter bbPress from updating activity stream
function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array( 'new_forum_topic', 'new_forum_post');

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

OK got the types wrong and got to=he info from the table in phpmyadmin

Anyway this code works in ones custom function.php

// Filter bbPress from updating activity stream
function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array( 'bbp_topic_create', 'bbp_reply_create');

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

@naijaping thank you!
