This is a longstanding issue with WP/WPMU/BP. I’m not sure why in 3.0 the existing profile page wasn’t discontinued in favour of something that doesn’t require access to admin and that would be trumped if a BP install was present.
I’m having no trouble with poEdit and have successfully made changes to my .po file to create new .mo file for BuddyPress. What I’d like to know is whether changing the term ‘groups’ throughout my site will affect the use of plugins that specifically call for ‘groups’?
So if I change the ‘Groups’ label throughout my site, will that create issues with plugins created for ‘Groups’? Will the change in terminology cause issues with these plugins?
Updated – I’ve successfully created a new .mo file to change labels across BP. My question is what to do if I wish to further update that file down the road? Do I delete the existing .mo file and simply execute the new .mo again?
OK, so I have ‘groups’ slugs successfully customized to ‘companies’ by using wp-config.
Is there a way to replace all instances of ‘Groups’ in favour of Companies throughout a BP site other than using the guide to customize labels with a language file, etc.?
This may be pertinent, but I am using the Widget Logic plugin to control widgets across my install. It’s been great but I’m not sure how to control the logic for BuddyPress pages or if it’s even possible.
For example, “!is_home() && is_user_logged_in()” allows me to place a widget in the sidebar anywhere but home where the user is logged in, but how might I use that logic to place it specifically on the Groups page, for example?
I’ve been trying this plugin with wpmu 2.9.2 and 1.2.3 and it works great…until you try extending the logic to buddypress generated pages. That may be my fault, not understanding the correct formatting for the conditional tags.
Can someone suggest the correct logic to use for, say: “siteurl/groups/mygroupname”?
Has anyone successfully converted any of woothemes products, say Canvas or CityGuide? They too seem to fight the conventional formatting suggested in the template pack.
