How can I translate plugin to my language?
All Dev4Press free and lite plugins can be translated via WordPress.org and their translation services. Each plugin on WordPress.org has support for translation, and you can get to it through the plugin Developer panel. To translate plugins on WordPress.org, you need a WordPress.org account. But, if you want to handle translations on your own, each plugin has a POT file with the list of all translation strings
Does the plugin works with BuddyBoss Platform?
We do not support BuddyBoss Platform integration for any of our bbPress-related plugins.
Dev4Press plugins for bbPress right now all require bbPress 2.6.2 or newer version, and old 2.5 versions of bbPress are no longer supported! BuddyBoss uses very outdated bbPress 2.5.12 (from 2017), which means that Dev4Press plugins for bbPress will not allow activation with bbPress 2.5.x (and because of the old version, it will not be active with BuddyBoss also). On top of that, BuddyBoss has made significant changes to the bbPress they are using, so a lot of stuff is not compatible anymore with the standalone bbPress plugin. Also, BuddyBoss uses BuddyPress 4.3, released in 2019 (the current standalone BuddyPress is 11.1.0 in May 2023), and again, their version of BuddyPress is significantly changed from the standalone BuddyPress, making the compatibility a huge issue.
Even if the BuddyBoss gets updated to bbPress 2.6 or newer, we have no plans of supporting BuddyBoss with our plugins due to the changes they made to bbPress, making proper support impossible.
This FAQ will be updated when something with bbPress or BuddyBoss changes.
TLDR: Dev4Press plugins for bbPress can’t be used with the BuddyBoss platform.
Why when quoted, emojis (or smileys) are displayed broken?
This happens because WordPress, by default, is replacing all emojis with images. This is done so that emojis would work in old browsers. But, the JavaScript used for this purpose can slow down the website, messing with the page loading only to show very old and outdated images instead of the pretty emojis most browsers have today.
Disabling WordPress emoji replacement is the only way to avoid the problem with quotes and emojis. To do that, install one of many plugins available to disable this WordPress ‘feature,’ like Disable Emoji from the WordPress.org repository. Or, if you use GD bbPress Toolbox Pro version 7.1 or newer, you can use the Features -> Tweaks -> Processing Content for Display -> Disable Smilies Conversion and set it to Enabled.
Why plugin’s JavaScript files are not loaded?
All Dev4Press plugins and addons require jQuery. But, they will work only if the jQuery is loaded with the WordPress proper Enqueue method. If you are replacing jQuery that comes with WordPress with some other version loaded from other location, my plugins will not function properly, and that goes the same for most of the other WordPress plugins that depend on the proper way for loading jQuery.
Does plugin works with WordPress MultiSite installations?
Yes. Each site in the network can activate and use the plugin.
Can I translate plugin to my language?
Yes. POT file is provided as a base for translation in the root folder for each plugin. Translation files should go into languages directory, and WordPress must be set to your language to load the file. As an alternative, translation file can go into wp-content/languages/plugins directory.
The file name for translated and compiled MO file must be the same as POT file with the addition of language code: {plugin-name}-{language-code}.mo.
