Revised suggested fix (workaround) for the 500 error, denial message, and excerpts in the BuddyBoss activity feed

• For the BuddyBoss activity feed, make sure to set the global default denial in the Content Control General Settings.
• Note: For the BuddyBoss activity feed, you can only show the global default denial (i.e. not the denial message override in the restriction). The workaround "disables" the custom message override in the restriction for lists b/c that's what's causing the 500 error. The restriction custom denial message override still works fine on post archive pages.
