Yes, this is standard behaviour with BuddyPress on a multisite install.
Enable site tracking in your BuddyPress settings.
@rogercoathup,
Thanks for your quick reply! I created a new site from the admin dashboard and added a post to that new site… bottom line, it worked–the notification showed up in the Activity Stream.
Another question: I used to be able to create a new site from the site’s front end. The admin bar does not have that menu item anymore. Any other setting to turn on? Thanks!
I suggest you post follow up as a separate question so people don’t miss it. We tend to switch off the admin bar, so I’m not sure what’s available on there.
Hi, for the life of me I can’t get the buddypress activity stream to show the blog posts from networked blogs. I have enabled “site tracking” on a fresh install of WP and BP. It seems to work for super-admin, and updates the activity feed whenever I post or comment, but doesn’t do so for other users I have created. The site is a testing site using a spare domain I have: researchstudies.com.au/activity. I could set you up with an admin account if that will help? Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Jamie
@quint i think the front end access to that is from the directory page only now (i could be wrong).
I have the same issue as @jman057
