hey good news just find this line
if ( $bp->loggedin_user->id == $potential_friend_id )
return false;

change it to

if ( $bp->loggedin_user->id == $potential_friend_id )
return true;

this will help you to show friend and your own activity

I have the Friends only Activity Streamplugin installed. But how did you guys manage to make it not filter out my own activities? Help would be much appreciated. I have tried adding the line “$activity->user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id” to the plugin, but it doesnt allow my activity to be shown.

I’ve made the corrections and it works perfectly fine now. Thanks!! I had combined your corrected code with the plugin at WPMU but in a wrong way.

Keep up the good work, my friend!

make sure your not using the wpmu plugin but the code above. I added in the conditional fix so that is displays own updates. (also a followers check if someone is using that plugin)

But this is just an example, so feel free to change up those checks to something that suites your own needs. (line 10)

hi there. it still happens to me that it filters user’s own posts (and their friends comments con them), even though I uploaded the fix. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? ensalto.com/2com is the URL if you want to check it out. Thanks

Thanks for this,

It doesn’t show the user’s own update, only friend’s updates. Can you add a line in the conditional to show the user’s own updates please? That would be awesome!
