Background of the issue:
I am trying to filter Activities, Latest Replies, and Topics Widget for BuddyBoss. I have tested this solution: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/lang-not-filtered-in-activities-latest-replies-and-topics-widget-for-buddyboss/ but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
I expected to see filtered posts for each language. Instead, I got mixed languages in activity feeds.

Questions:
Why is the language filter not working for Activities, Latest Replies, and Topics Widget in BuddyBoss?
Is there an updated solution for filtering languages in BuddyBoss widgets?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please try the following code. 

// Filter the activity feed by the language:
// 1. buffer the activity entry output...
add_action('bp_before_activity_entry', function () {
    ob_start();
});
// 2. clean the output if the activity is the post activity and languages don't match,
//    flush otherwise.
add_action('bp_after_activity_entry', function () {
    $get_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
    $language_code = get_activity_post_language_code();
    if ( $language_code && $get_lang && $language_code !== $get_lang ) {
        ob_end_clean();
    } else {
        ob_end_flush();
    }
});
 
function get_activity_post_language_code() {
    if ( ! bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() ) {
        return false;
    }
 
    $language_details = apply_filters( 'wpml_post_language_details', NULL, bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() );
    if ( ! $language_details ) {
        return false;
    }
 
    return $language_details['language

Best regards,

Hi Osama
Could you please review your snippet above? The last line seems to be wrong.

Hi,

Sorry, it seems it's missing the last line. Here is the snippet:

add_action('bp_before_activity_entry', function () {
    ob_start();
});

add_action('bp_after_activity_entry', function () {
    $get_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
    $language_code = get_activity_post_language_code();
    if ( $language_code && $get_lang && $language_code !== $get_lang ) {
        ob_end_clean();
    } else {
        ob_end_flush();
    }
});
 
function get_activity_post_language_code() {
    if ( ! bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() ) {
        return false;
    }
 
    $language_details = apply_filters( 'wpml_post_language_details', NULL, bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() );
    if ( ! $language_details ) {
        return false;
    }
 
    return $language_details['language_code'];
}

Best regards,
Osama

Hi again
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have now tested the script above thoroughly on the staging site and, unfortunately, found that it's not filtering post-PR language.
I have tested the following.

1. Installed BB Platform/Pro/theme/WPML-BP integration
2. Add the script above to the BB-child theme
3. Translated the activity feed + groups page
4. Created a NO group
5. Created a post in the NO group. Outcome: the NO post is showing in the EN feed
6. Created a post directly in the EN feed
7. Outcome: The EN post shows the NO activity feed.

Cheers
