Since the last BuddyPress update, each time someone edits something they’ve posted in the BBPress forums on my site the forum post re-appears on the activity stream.

This means that if someone edits a post several times their post appears multiple times in the feed.

Hope someone can help. Thanks 🙂

@danbp I think you very kindly helped me out with this same issue when it happened a while ago. Do you know how I can fix it?

Hope you’re well 🙂

Hi Julia,

it’s a bbPress bug, patched a while ago, but still in. Maybe a day it will be repaired definetly.

For the moment, you can repair yourself. Open activity.php in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/

Replace following code block at line 277/279:

$existing = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id, 'show_hidden' => true, 'spam' => 'all', ) );
if ( empty( $existing['total'] ) || ( 1 !== (int) $existing['total'] ) )
return null;

by

$existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
if ( empty( $existing->component ) ) {
return null;
}

Save and reload to to your site by FTP and you’re done.

@danbp Worked a charm. You rock! 🙂

[danbp]

You’re welcome. But it’s not me who rocks, but the patch author @shanebp !

FYI The issue is resolved for what will be bbPress 2.6.

Just had to use this fix again after the latest bbpress update so thanks again @danbp and @shanebp!
