Thanks for your time on this..highly appreciated…regarding the points

1. setting up WordPress to a custom language.

i am not using wp lang files…so in site/settings/general i keep the default english option on a multisite for french language. is this correct way? i dont want WP in French but only BP in French. Backend WP+BP should remain in english. only frontend should be french.

2. Note that the language should exist on GlotPress and must be completed to 100%.

that means lang files which are NOT 100% complete i need to update them manually in future?

3. the translation will be automatically uploaded to wp-content/languages/plugins/

yes. i want the latest translation files to be automatically updated. i wont be doing any manual translations as i dont know the languages. so if i want to translate BP and BB then is the following structure correct:

/wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-fr_FR.po
/wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress-fr_FR.po

4. Custom usage

this has me confused. this line “you can store your custom version in the first directory wp-content/languages/plugins/.”

custom PO files go to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress right? which i wont require as i wont be doing custom trnaslations. is this correct assumption?

wp-content/languages/plugins/ has the po files which would be auto updated as and when there are updates right?

Thanks once again

Can I please get some love? I’ve read a few other threads about this, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-table-prefix-change-old-topics-dont-display-new-topics-go-to-db-table-with-old-prefix/ suggested that I needed to alter bb-config.php, but I understand from https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bb-config-php-file-is-missing/ that bb-config.php is no longer used. The later lead me to https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/, which covers importing forums but doesn’t seem to get me what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I might add I have bbpress child theme don’t think that should matter

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, I just discovered an advantage (or feature) with respect to network activating vs. network deactivating BuddyPress. With BuddyPress Network Activated, a subsite administrator has the ability to insert BuddyPress widgets in their site(s); however, upon network deactivation, all the subsite administrator’s BuddyPress widgets disappear. I’ve tested three BuddyPress widgets on a subsite so far and while the links in the Members and Groups widgets point to the main site (blog_id=1), the links in Recent Topics default to any forum.

From a Multisite network administrator’s point of view, it appears the advantage of having BuddyPress network activated is to grant subsite administrators the ability of linking to the group and member directories from their subsites. In constrast, having bbPress Network Activated would potentially create as many forums as there are subsites.

Am I overlooking anything?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Henry – thanks for response. As confirmed by both the Codex (Code Reference) and my successful use of this method in the same installation outside of BuddyPress, $title is indeed an array.

In fact, I tested my function without the if ( bp_is_group() ){ conditional, and the filter works on the pages NOT created/affected by BuddyPress, which confirms BuddyPress is bypassing this filter.

For testing purposes, I modified the function as follows:

// test parameters passed to document_title_parts filter
function test_groups_title( $title ){

	print_r( $title );
	exit;

}
add_filter('document_title_parts', 'test_groups_title', 10);

And BuddyPress pages output the following array:

Array
(
    [title] => 
    [site] => My-Website.com
)

Which suggests that BuddyPress is neither supplying data to this array nor utilizing it for the title output.

I did a grep of BuddyPress and bbPress and I am finding calls to the deprecated wp_title() function:

$ grep -r 'wp_title' ../plugins/b*press/*
../plugins/bbpress/includes/core/filters.php:add_filter( 'wp_title',                'bbp_title',              10, 3 );
../plugins/bbpress/readme.txt:* Fix custom wp_title compatibility
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php: * @see wp_title()
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php:       * @see wp_title()
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php:       * Filters the older 'wp_title' page title for BuddyPress pages.
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php:add_filter( 'wp_title',             'bp_modify_page_title', 20, 3 );
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php: * @deprecated Use wp_title()
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php:        * Now, just simply use wp_title().
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php:        * @deprecated Use wp_title()
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php:               _deprecated_function( __FUNCTION__, '1.5', 'wp_title()' );
../plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php:               $title = wp_title( '|', false, 'right' ) . get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' );
../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php:          <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></title>
../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/archive.php:                 <h3 class="pagetitle"><?php printf( __( 'You are browsing the archive for %1$s.', 'buddypress' ), wp_title( false, false ) ); ?></h3>

I guess this means I can and should hook in to the older (deprecated) wp_title() function? I’m a bit new to BuddyPress and WordPress, so maybe I’m missing something obvious, or barking up the wrong tree here….

And to be clear — I’d like to be able to use the get_profile_tab_link() function anywhere on the site…not just bbPress pages as I psted…
