By post do you mean a WordPress post?
No, I was referring to a post to the Buddypress Activity Feed. Is “Activity Entry” the proper term?
We just launched our site and are getting a good bit of activity. Just looking to figure out how many BP Activity Feed entries/posts we should have before we start deleting the older ones and if there’s a way to automate that. We currently have 950.
Thanks.
Personally I wouldn’t do that. The number of rows in the activity table can be big without problems. If you’re worried about bloat, you could think about limiting the number of characters accepted by the content field. The field is type LONGTEXT which I think means each item can be ~4GB. Some simple front-end validation limiting that to X characters would keep the size down.
