shortcodes in activity stream

Hi,
Thank you for the question.

I am assuming this is not related to our plugin and you want to enable the shortcode in activity in general.

You can put this code in your theme’s functions.php

/**
 * Enable shortcode rendering in BuddyPress activity.
 */
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', function ( $content ) {
	return do_shortcode( $content );
}, 0 );

That will do it.

Hi BuddyDev, thnks for you help I’m trying solve this problem. I had already tried with something similar but doesn’t work, with your code doesn’t work too. look if you try this:

add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', function ( $content ) { 
              error_log( $content );
}, 0 ); 

And try include one shortcode in one post and try include ‘ [just_test] ‘ in another post… You will see the log file return empty in first post and return “[just_test]” in second post.

Maybe have some filter to remove shortcode before the our filter. Sorry for my english but did you understand what i said? thnks again mate

Hi,
I am sorry, I don’t know what your code for error_log is supposed to do.

The code I shared for shortcode is tested with BuddyPress 9.0 and BP Nouveau template pack. If it is not working, you most probably have some code/theme or other template pack causing it.
