Hooks and Filters

All hooks and filters listed here come from the plugin’s shipped classes and are stable as of version 1.3.3.

Filters

`bp_editable_types_activity`

Controls which BuddyPress activity types are eligible for editing. The base list is activity_update; the plugin adds activity_comment for comment editing, and activity_status when Youzify is active.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$types`	`array`	Array of editable activity type strings.

Example, add a custom activity type:

add_filter( 'bp_editable_types_activity', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'my_custom_activity_type';
    return $types;
} );

`buddypress_can_edit_activity`

Final filter on whether the current user can edit a specific activity. Runs after all internal checks (login, ownership, type, time window). Return false to block editing even when the internal checks pass, or true to allow it even when they fail.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$can_edit`	`bool`	Result of all internal permission checks.
`$activity`	`object`	The `BP_Activity_Activity` object being checked.

Example, block editing of activities older than 48 hours regardless of settings:

add_filter( 'buddypress_can_edit_activity', function( $can_edit, $activity ) {
    if ( ! $can_edit ) {
        return false;
    }
    $age = time() - strtotime( $activity->date_recorded );
    if ( $age > 2 * DAY_IN_SECONDS ) {
        return false;
    }
    return $can_edit;
}, 10, 2 );

`buddypress_edit_activity_duration`

Filters the computed edit window in seconds before the plugin uses it for permission checks. Return 0 for no limit.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$duration`	`int`	Duration in seconds derived from the saved setting. `0` means unlimited.

Example, override to a flat 2-hour window:

add_filter( 'buddypress_edit_activity_duration', function( $duration ) {
    return 2 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
} );

`buddypress_get_edit_activity_content`

Filters the activity content before it is sent to the edit modal. At this point @mention anchor tags have been converted to plain text and surrounding <p> tags stripped.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$content`	`string`	The cleaned text that pre-fills the edit textarea.
`$activity`	`object`	The `BP_Activity_Activity` object.

`buddypress_edit_activity_content`

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$content`	`string`	The sanitized new content.
`$activity_id`	`int`	ID of the activity being updated.

`buddypress_bp_edit_activity_action`

Filters the activity action string after the plugin appends the (edited) label. Applies to both standard BuddyPress and BuddyBoss.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$action`	`string`	The modified action string, already containing the edited label when applicable.
`$activity`	`object`	The `BP_Activity_Activity` object.

`bp_activity_comment_content_before_save`

Parameters:

`$comment_id`	`int`	ID of the activity comment being updated.

`bpea_license_api_sslverify`

Filters the sslverify flag on the EDD license API request made from the License tab. Defaults to true.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$sslverify`	`bool`	Whether to verify SSL on the license API call.

Actions

`bp_before_edit_activity_template`

Fires inside the edit activity modal, before the <form> element.

`bp_after_edit_activity_template`

Fires inside the edit activity modal, after the closing </form> tag.

`bp_edit_activity_fields`

Fires inside the edit activity <form>, in the additional content area below the textarea. Use it to inject extra fields (location, mood) that companion plugins provide.

Example, add a hidden field for a custom extension:

add_action( 'bp_edit_activity_fields', function() {
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="my_plugin_extra" value="1">';
} );

`bp_get_addition_activity_content`

Fires during the AJAX request that loads existing activity content into the modal. Output captured here is returned to the browser as bp_get_additional_content in the JSON response. Use it to load extra data (for example a stored check-in location) alongside the main text.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$activity`	`object`	The `BP_Activity_Activity` object being loaded.

`buddypress_edit_activity_before_save_activity_content`

Fires inside the save AJAX handler, after permission checks pass but before the content is written to the database.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$activity_id`	`int`	ID of the activity about to be saved.

`buddypress_edit_activity_after_save_activity_content`

Fires after the activity has been saved successfully.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`$activity_id`	`int`	ID of the activity that was saved.
`$activity`	`object`	The updated `BP_Activity_Activity` object.

`bp_before_edit_comment_template`

`bp_after_edit_comment_template`

Fires inside the edit comment modal, after the closing </form> tag.

`bp_edit_comment_fields`

Fires inside the edit comment <form>, in the additional content area below the textarea. Mirrors bp_edit_activity_fields for the comment modal.
