Do you need to have a forum to be able to post on the wire ?
No, but you have to activate the wire in the wp-admin->buddypress->component settings.
To post a Wire, you have to go to on the profile page of the person or the group you want to send a message.
Click on Wire in the middle menu.
An input box appears at the right where you can type in your message.
Send.
That’s all !
This is possibly off-topic. But perhaps not.
Is it possible to place Wires outside of profiles or groups?
It is, but you’ll have to code it yourself. The Wire component’s been written with that in mind.
@ DJPaul. OK!
@ Erich73: Wow! Looks very interesting! I’ll try it out!
Thank you, but I do all what you say Chufi and no box appears.
Yes wire comment is enabled in the admin.
I guess there is something very wrong here but I can’t figure out where to start looking.
Please help.
Thanks.
