Activity Feed Exclusion

[CJH]

I’m sure there is a dead-simple solution, but it seems to be escaping me. I want to exclude page updates and page creation from the Activity Feed, but I can’ t seem to get it to function in the “Exclude these post types from activity” field – what would be the text for the exclusion?

Thanks!

Any luck with this?

Go to social settings in UP. There is an option for it. Do not leave any white space.

You will see activity stream and an exclude option

Thank you. I was able to exclude pages. Would you happen to know what terms to exclude things like user registrations and accounts verified?

Cheers

Hi Marcel, other activities are logged in this file:

e.g. case ‘verified’: find this in file: addons/social/functions/api.php

🙂 You can remove the activities you do not want. for custom post types, just add it to exclude option (comma seperated) no spaces

HI Ahmed,
Thank you. I looked in the file and picked the cases I want to exclude then added to the exclusion area under Social Extensions.

nav_menu_item,page,verified,update_post

I still see verified and update_post activity. Any ideas?

Regards,
Marcel

verified and update post are logged via api.php file under social addon as I said in my previous reply, you need to remove them from that file, not from the option itself. 🙂

Hi Ahmed, thank you again. I assumed I just need to look there for the naming.
I’ve deleted both entire case entries from addons/social/functions/api.php and still shows on public feed.

Cleared cached also.

They wont appear for new activities. Old activities are stored already 🙂

[marceltj]

Ah well that makes sense! Just for future reference, where are they stored? DB table?
Wondering in case I ever run into an issue where a user wants their activity removed for any reason (hopefully not legal) without purging everyone’s activity.

[admin]

Yes, but please do not attempt to delete activity manually. Try however to exclude it , just like how I exclude admin activity.

How to exclude admins by name? Just list name as exclusion or add this?
