BuddyPress Activity Filter

BuddyPress shows every activity type in one undifferentiated feed, and members have no easy way to focus on what matters to them. BuddyPress Activity Filter lets admins set a default activity type for the feed, remove specific activity types from the stream entirely, and rename custom post type activities for better clarity. No custom code required.
