BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to change the excerpt length for the activity feed. And I can’t figure out why it’s been so difficult.

For example, I’ve used the following code:

function buddydev_modify_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	$length = 1225;

	return $length;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_excerpt_length', 'buddydev_modify_excerpt_length' );

I even went into bp-core/bp-core-template.php for a hard-coded solution:

function bp_create_excerpt( $text, $length = 1225, $options = array() ) {

Still it doesn’t change my excerpt length. I then thought it might be the theme I’m using (Buddyboss) and went poking around but couldn’t find anything; although maybe there is something and I didn’t look well enough.

Otherwise, could it have anything to do with the activity feed posts in question being added post types (woocommerce product pages) via the guide by Mathieu Viet:

Post Types Activities

Anyone else have similar issue or know what it might be?
