We have users create posts from the frontend using Gravity Forms. The site also uses BuddyPress. Now we want the Featured Image of posts to be displayed in the Activity Stream. This is not default BuddyPress functionality, but I got it to work by using the 'bp_blogs_activity_new_post_content' filter. Now for posts created through the backend the Featured Image shows in the Activity Stream.
But not for posts created through GF! It does correctly show the post title and contents, but somehow at the time that the activity stream data is stored, the featured image ID is not available.
This question is similar to: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gravity-forms-buddypress-bp_activity_add
but currently GF does support creating a Featured Image so it is not the same issue.
I'm guessing this is a timing issue of the different actions because when I look into the database I don't see a difference between a post created through the backend or through GF.
