bp_blogs_new_blog_comment_query_backpat( array $args )

Filter ‘new_blog_comment’ bp_has_activities() loop to include new- and old-style blog activity comment items.

Description

In BuddyPress 2.0, the schema for storing activity items related to blog posts changed. Instead creating new top-level ‘new_blog_comment’ activity items, blog comments are recorded in the activity feed as comments on the ‘new_blog_post’ activity items corresponding to the parent post. This filter ensures that the ‘new_blog_comment’ filter in bp_has_activities() (which powers the ‘Comments’ filter in the activity directory dropdown) includes both old-style and new-style activity comments.

Parameters

$args: (Required) Arguments passed from bp_parse_args() in bp_has_activities().

Return

(array) $args
