Hi @excellins-

Thanks for your ticket. Can you take a look in your database to make sure that some activities that would be found by that filter exist? (They're kind of uncommon.)

Look in the table wp_bp_activity for items with the type = group_details_updated.

These activity items are only created when a group admin changes the group name or description using the front-end form (like at /groups/group-name/admin/edit-details/) and checks the option "Notify group members of these changes via email". In the code where the activity item would be added, there's a note:

If the admin has opted not to notify members, don't post an activity item either.

Best,
