Hi, i have seen that Jetpack Publicize can work with custom post types with this code:
```
add_action('init', 'my_custom_init');
function my_custom_init() {
    add_post_type_support( 'product', 'publicize' );
}
```
I would like to use Jetpack Publicize with Buddypress activities updates. How I should modify the code to use it with buddypress activities updates?

Best regards,
Gabriel

I’m afraid I am not really familiar with BuddyPress. Are activities updates Custom Post Types?
If so, you can use the code you posted above, as long as you know the post type name.

I looked around for “activities updates”, and the closest that I could find was the “Activity Stream” where you can post updates on a BuddyPress installation. Is that what you were referring to?
If so, it doesn’t seem like this is a custom post type, so I’m not sure that would work. You may want to ask in the BuddyPress support forums to be sure.

I hope this helps.

I see you’ve received a reply:

No. Activity items aren’t custom posts; instead, they live in the bp_activity table. See here for a diagram.

Unfortunately that’s bad news. That means you won’t be able to publicize these updates to your Social Networks.

Would be possible add this feature on jetpack? It’s seems I’m not the only one that miss this feature https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-jetpack-publicize-support-to-activity-stream/
