activity feed no longer showing commented on

[intimez]

activity feed it's broken

before it shows " testuser commented on the blog post my first post "
now it simply do not even show up in activity feed

[wordpress3+buddypress1.2.5.2]

[cnorris23]

I can reproduce this, but I'm tracking down the change to make sure it wasn't on purpose. Blog comments don't appear in the activity stream at all now.

[cnorris23]

@intimez
You should check the privacy settings for the blog in the dashboard. It will be under Settings > Privacy. If you have the "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors" setting checked, then this is likely the problem.

@cnorris23

Settings > Privacy

I would like my site to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers

[cnorris23]

Alright then. I'll look into this more then. Are you using the default theme, a child theme, or a custom theme?

[johnjamesjacoby]

Can't reproduce but if it's legit, it's major.

[johnjamesjacoby]

Confirmed this on testbp.org. Will review today.

Tested changeset_r3153.diff for file /buddypress/bp-blogs.php and not working

intimez, the patch may not work piecemeal by itself. This works fine for me on BP 1.2 branch and WP 3.0.1.

[johnjamesjacoby]

Works for me...

@DJPaul

I apologize. I've tested past patch by itself and assumed this was same way. Just wanted to help. How can I test on wordpress3.0.1+buddypress1.2.5.2?

[intimez]

Download bleeding as recommended by @johnjamesjacoby to help test

Tested new install of below and not working:
wordpress3.0.1+buddypress1.2.6-bleeding (branches_1.2-r3194)

Settings > Privacy > Site Visibility
I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

Let me know if need to list other settings

[johnjamesjacoby]

If you are blocking search engines, then no blog activity will appear because the blog isn't considered public. For the activity stream to show blog posts and comments, you will want to set the Site Visibility to public.

[intimez]

@johnjamesjacoby

It was working in previous version so guess it's permanent fix/change. If setting set to non-public, all activity should not appear also, not just blog post comment. Kind of odd, no?

[johnjamesjacoby]

If it was 'working' then it was actually broken. :)

A blog is only 1 component of a BuddyPress site. If the blog is private, the group is private, or the forum is private, then those pieces of activity won't appear in the stream.

[intimez]

Upgraded and the issue still there. Last time was working was pre 1.5 I think. I also notice same problem on testbp.org

[johnjamesjacoby]

It happens on testbp.org because I set the blog back to private.

Can anyone confirm this is happening on an active single site install that is NOT set to private, as I can't duplicate it.

[intimez]

@johnjamesjacoby

I believe this happens on upgrades from 1.2.5

If you set testbp.org to approve comments and once approved, the comment will not appear.

I could be wrong but I don't think it was doing that on new installs.

[johnjamesjacoby]

I know they don't appear on testbp.org, because the blog is set to private.

If I make the blog public and approve a comment, it will appear. :)

I'll test this again today to verify though.
