Plugin conflict: Activity Bump to top

[mth75]

i discovered 2 bugs with the Bump to Top plugin:

1. posts with multiple images uploaded and
b. posts with @michael @tjchester tags won’t bump.

I’m delving in the code, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

My site: http://www.starry-night.nl to see the plugin in action.

I think we need a BuddyBoss variant of this no longer maintained plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bump-to-top/

I’m trying to update the original plugin myself, I do not know i’ve my skills are sufficient to succeed.

I narrowed it down.

When a user posted on a group wall the same activity can’t be bumped. When a user post on the activity page, no problem. When changing this user to a WP administrator the group wall post CAN be bumped.

So this problem is has to do with user roles which seem so differ (from the plugin point of view) when posting on a group wall.

Guys, help needed. I need this one function 100% right. I found a workaround for solving the issue with a wall post. In a post with pictures, removing (for example):

SAO37415Psi Vir

solves issue 1. What can I do?

To be clear, posting more then one image has the result that the plugin doesn’t bump anymore.

@vapvarun Thx for your reply. I’ll post my findings in the hope that troubleshooting gets easier.

@vapvarun Attached is the update Bump to Top plugin (admin menu updates).

@vapvarun

I figured it out, WP’s Discussion setting:

Comment Moderation:
Hold a comment in the queue if it contains X or more links.

seems to hold the comment bumping, increasing the number to 10 instead of 2 solves the issue (and makes sense).

Blogpost (comments that is) still don’t bump, one problem remains

Almost there: Blogpost (comments that is) still don’t bump, one problem remains

My blogpost have as component and type in the wp_bp_activity table following flags resp. activity and activity_comment. They should be blogs and new_blog_comment

@vapvarun (i’m not spamming you 🙂 ).

Almost there, it goes wrong with the buddy press setting:

Settings/Activity Settings:

Blog & Forum Comments Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts

Checking this feature results in activity and activity_comment. flags in the db fields component and type in the wp_bp_activity table. Unchecking the above setting results in blogs and new_blog_comment values (which work). So I guess this is a Buddypress issue?

Correction, it’s a BuddyBoss Wall issue. component and type when commenting on a blog entry on the wall should be blogs and new_blog_comment and not the default activity and activity_comment ones. This must also must be true for commenting on bbpress forum posts on the wall.

Guys, anything, this problem is Buddyboss Wall related (activity types).

@mth75 thanks for sharing this. I hope there will be solutions soon. Thx for sharing the updated plugin.

It would seem that the plugin has not been updated in 4 years and is no longer maintained by the dev, but it would be great if someone would develop an updated version.
