Placing activity loop in a new page using shortcode

    Hi!

    I am trying to create a shortcode to place the activity loop in a new page, so I can customize and highlight some activities. To start, I inserted the standard loop inside a shortcode function (code as below). But the standard loop failed to show. Just to ensure that my shortcode is ok, I just inserted a “testing 123” text to check.

    FYI, I am using BuddyX theme (WordPress version 5.8.3). I test the code below in functions.php before place it into Code Snippets plugin. Currently, the code is still inside functions.php.

    I placed the shortcode ([mkp_activity]) in a page (link to the page as below). I also try to place the shortcode in widget area. But the loop just did not appear.

    Test Page

    function mkp_bp_activity_shortcode() {

$message = 'testing 123';
return $message;

if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) :
    while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();

        locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false );

    endwhile;
endif;

}
add_shortcode('mkp_activity', 'mkp_bp_activity_shortcode');

    I am new to this. I am not sure if I am doing this completely wrong. Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

    Regards,
    CK

    Hi @vapvarun. Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the plugin you suggested. There is another plugin (BuddyPress Activity Shortcode) I have also tried. But both plugins crashed my site upon activation. I have to remove them in safe mode.

    @cheekeat please make sure you are using the Nouveau template
    BuddyX is best with the Nouveau template
    Setting >> BuddyPress >> Options
