BuddyPress.org

That’s a good idea. If you do a search for bp_activity_add() you will see everything that creates an activity item. Some plugins use the activity stream so be sure to search any of those you may have installed as well.

Thank you so much @djsteveb. I will look at dreamhost.com. Are there any other web hosting sites you recommend?

Thanks again so much for your response.

Ah OK. For message notifications, you should find the message thread ID in item_id

If you take a look at the WordPress code base, you’ll see there is similar logic applied to username. The gist will be

1. Query the database for a list of display names
2. Throw an error if the desired name already exists

bbPress is a separate plugin. You’d need to install that as well as BuddyPress.

That particular notification is for a private message. See where it says component_name. Post IDs won’t relate to messages

My apologies, I missed parentheses. It should be:

$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( bp_get_the_notification_id() );
var_dump( $obj );

Can you paste what you get with that updated snippet?

Inside the notifications loop can you do this and paste what you get?

$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( bp_get_the_notification_id );
var_dump( $obj );

Inside the notifications loop can you do this and paste what you get??

$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( bp_get_the_notification_id );
var_dump( $obj );

You shouldn’t need to do anything to bp-notifications-functions.php so revert those changes an your code should be good to go.

You’ll need to replace $id in my snippet with the actual ID of the notification. You should be able to get that with bp_get_the_notification_id() if you’re using my snippet within the loop.

Just to note, bp_notifications_get_notification() returns an BP_Notifications_Notification object so to get item_id you’d just access it like this:

$obj = bp_notifications_get_notification( $id );
echo $obj->item_id;

The post ID should be passed to that function as either item_id or secondary_item_id. Then, if you have the notification ID, you can retrieve the data (post ID) at a later date with bp_notifications_get_notification()
