BuddyPress.org

That url is Not Found.

To rule out a theme issue – did you try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019?

Are you using any translation plugins? Try turning them off.

Are you referring to your translation of the BuddyPress word ‘ago’ that is shown in the groups last update date? I can see it in line 387 of the pot file.

The original english in those files it sent to a file called buddypress.pot, from this the WordPress translators create country specific .mo files. I’m wondering if the language file for your country is missing this translation. It could very well be the case as this was only recently introduced.

There’s two locations for that text Anders depending on which BuddyPress theme you are using. there’s:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/data.php on line 49.

and there’s wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/data.php also on line 49.

Do you think it’s missing from your countries translation file?

ccording to this a Swedish translation is available – https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/contributors/

I don’t know the answer to that as I know nothing about wordpress.com but I’d hope if there was a Swedish translation for BuddyPress that .com would support it.

Certainly on a self hosted solution you would get the latest translation plus the ability to customise it so that the language used was suitable to your specific site.

It’s the WordPress polyglots that manage translations for BuddyPress, they have a slack channel and I think you can find out the status of a Swedish translation from there.

I had to translate the site in English so that everything works well I guess it’s a translation problem because the links only work as those display errors appear.

Regarding changing the messages BuddyPress shows, you can create your own local translation file using the PoEdit application, see this doc:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

If you really want to disable the activation emails, there’s an old plugin which I think still works:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

If you have issues with it let me know.

I’m afraid that method would not work for what you are looking for. I think the only way you could do this would be with some pretty extensive custom code. You’d have to add fields for group descriptions in the other languages your site supports, you’d then need to have these displayed in the group settings page so group creators could add the correct translation of their group description and finally you’d have to change a number of BP functions in order to display the correct translation to the viewer in the groups directory and the group pages. The issue get’s even more complicated when it comes to searching for groups. So I think this is quite difficult to do.

Hi Angela,

One way would be to customise the message already shown at the top of the register page. You can do this by creating your own translation of the text shown, and the translation can say what you like.

See this page for details on how you can create the translation:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Once you have created your translation file (.mo) my suggestion for the best way to add it to your site and manage it is to use WPT Custom Mo File.

Hi there, translations do work, I’ve just created a custom MO file and added it to the site using the WPT Custom MO file plugin, What’s New translated to my custom script just fine.
