That is the function that saves the action. The database stores the action properly. It's just not being output by the theme.

Thanks for your reply.

Chris Hajer comments:

Also, to be clear, I only change the format of the action for custom post type activity. I do not change the action for these types of activity:

joined_group
created_group
new_avatar
activity_update
activity_comment
new_calendar_event (I'm using the BP Group Calendar plugin)

I don't see the bp_activity.action for any type of activity, not just CPT. Thank you.

Chris,

I have been seeing your code and I see everything OK.

Have you set WP_DEBUG true? You can do the next 5 ways to debug WordPress:
1. define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // in wp-config.php
2. define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true ); // in wp-config.php
3. define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true ); // in wp-config.php to save what queries are exectuted
4. add_action( 'all', create_function( '', 'var_dump( current_filter() );' ) ); // in functions.php to see how many hooks get executed on every page load
5. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/core-control/ // this plugin to control core WP

Chris Hajer comments:

I have added the three defines to wp-config.php and the one function to my theme's functions.php. I did not install the core control plugin yet.

What output can I share with you to help debug this?

Here is a page on the website so you can see what's going on right now:

Thank you.

Chris,

If no errors appear, try to put "show_errors = true" in php.ini and then reload the service of the http daemon.

Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:

Chris,

Sorry, the correct parameter is "display_errors = true" and you also should set "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED".

Chris Hajer comments:

There are lots of warnings and notices. I am on a shared host, so I can't restart HTTPD. But I think the output is sufficient already. Warnings and noticed are displayed. Do we need more?

Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:

Chris,

Send me via PM all notice and warnings please.

PM sent. Please let me know if you need more information.
