Hi everyone,

Is there any way to create a new post (custom post type), while posting an activity?
What I need is to create a different Custom Post Type called activit feed which will be auto created for each activity update.
When any user posts an update in the activity section, a new posts should be created with the details added in the activity update.
Please Help.

Thanks.

The bp_activity_add action fires at the end of adding a new activity item. So you can hook a custom function to that and add your custom post within that. Here’s an example:
```
add_action( 'bp_activity_add', function( $r ) {

    // Insert a new post.
    wp_insert_post(
        array(
            'post_type' => 'activitfeed',
            'post_title' => __( 'Hello world', 'text-domain' ),
            'post_content' => $r['content'],
            'post_status' => 'publish'
        )
    );
} );
```

Thank You @Henry,
I did my task using another hook though. I used bp_activity_posted_update hook to accomplish the task.
Thank you very much for your reply.
