Notifications (BuddyPress)
Everything BuddyPress tells a member about, in one native list.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”| Plugin | BuddyPress, with the Notifications component enabled |
| Endpoint group | BuddyPress Notifications |
| Plan | Every plan |
What members see
Section titled “What members see”Friend requests, mentions, group activity, new messages — whatever the components on your site raise. The wording comes from BuddyPress itself, so a notification from a third-party component reads correctly without the app knowing that component exists.
Members can filter to unread, read or all, mark one or all read, and delete one.
Taps open screens, not a browser
Section titled “Taps open screens, not a browser”Every notification carries a destination the app understands, worked out on your site rather than guessed from a link. A message opens the conversation, a mention opens the activity, a group notification opens groups, and a friend request opens that member’s profile. Anything the app has no screen for opens the member it is about — never the in-app browser.
The same is true of a tapped push notification.
With Realtime switched on, notifications arrive without the member pulling to refresh, and the bell updates on its own. Without it the list still works and refreshes when opened.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”Opens on — unread, read, or all.
Let members delete notifications — show a delete control on each row. Marking read is always available.
Not the same as Ultimate Member notifications
Section titled “Not the same as Ultimate Member notifications”BuddyPress and Ultimate Member notifications are separate systems with separate data. A site running both genuinely gives a member two lists, and placing both features shows them both.
