 * Many thanks for plugin.
 * Just an enquiry.
 * I have [The Old Plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-bump-to-top/)
   working perfectly in a local install with wp 3.7.1 bp 1.8.1 and a very large 
   number of other plugins mainly buddypress ones – for testing purposes.
 * Your client, on your website, could not get the old plugin to work.
    Were you
   at all successful in getting the original plugin to work ?
 * You say on your website
 * > the code is a little out of date and not in line with the new versions of buddypress,
   > or wordpress. So I was set the challenge of rebuilding it for the new wordpress.
   > I did so.
 * Which parts of the original code are _“a little out of date and not in line with
   the new versions of buddypress, or wordpress”_?
 * Which part of the original code did you rebuild ?
 * Other than being 2 years without an update is there anything inherently unstable/
   unsafe about the original ? Also as per OP – differences ?
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
 * Are you certain that the old plugin works on your local installation and that
   you have the latest version of everything? The very issue we found is that it
   wouldn’t bump.
 * I’m a bit surprised to hear that it was working, as you can imagine I’d not have
   wasted my time otherwise. Having made the changes I thought I’d release it here
   for others to be helpful, as I notice in the support forum several others were
   having the same issue of no bumping:

 * Though that was in 1.6. I’ll also be looking to add additional features and any
   improvements that users request in this support forum.
 * The difference in mine and the original plugin therefore – is that this one works
   with all versions up to and including the most recent versions of buddypress 
   and wordpress.
 * I understand the original author can’t update anymore. So hopefully me stepping
   in is helpful to the wordpress community 🙂

 * but the original works with all versions up to and including the most recent 
   versions of buddypress and wordpress
 * _“Having made the changes….”_
 * What changes have you made to date ?
 * As per original poster what are the current differences between your plugin and
   the original ?
 * Have you made any changes other than removing “etivite”, the identity of the 
   original plugin developer, from the code ?
 * Obviously it would be truly marvellous if the plugin was taken over and kept 
   up to date by a reliable developer that users could trust.
 * If you would please just let the community know what changes, to the original
   plugin, have you made to date ?
