    hi @tjchester,

    this is an old issue that remained unresolved (https://www.buddyboss.com/support-forums/topic/how-change-tab-label-new-feed/page/3/), and i need to address it now, since i want to keep using and updating the wall plugin.

    to remind you, there was a problem with my custom translation, since in my site’s language i cannot use “you” posted an update”, grammar wise. (the translation for “you” and “he/she” “posted” is different)
    you told me to change a few lines in the original buddyboss-wall/includes/wall-hooks.php file.
    i did and it worked.

    since then i wrote and waited for a response on saving the wall-hooks.php file in the child theme, or telling the theme to use this file instead of the original in parent theme.
    i tried putting in buddyboss-child/ ,and buddyboss-child/buddyboss-wall/ and buddyboss-child/buddyboss-wall/includes/-
    nothing works, the theme just read the original file and i had to edit that one (buddyboss-wall/includes/wall-hooks.php)

    now there is an update to the plugin since December and i cannot use it because one of the files that was updated is wall-hooks.php (https://www.buddyboss.com/release-notes/buddyboss-wall-1-1-2/).
    i read the release notes, but it doesn’t say what was edited exactly, so there is no way i can update and save my translations.

    how can we solve this one?
    the wall was one of the reasons i purchased this theme in the first place.
    can these functions have a condition for rtl languages?

    thank you

    Hi again,

    I just went through the entire thread to find the exact changes you told me to make within wall-hooks.php. Maybe these can be taken care of forever and ever in my child theme’s functions.php?

    1.
    $bbwall_action = str_replace( $to_replace, $you_text, $action );
    replace with:
    $bbwall_action = $action;

    2.
    $action = str_replace($myprofile_link, __( ‘You’, ‘buddyboss-wall‘ ), $action);`
    replace with:
    $action = $action;

    3.
    $action = str_replace( ‘%INITIATOR%’, __( ‘You’, ‘buddyboss-wall‘ ), $action);
    replace with:
    $action = str_replace( ‘%INITIATOR%’, bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id()), $action);

    Hi @tjchester, how are you? I am still waiting for a solution for this issue. Cannot use the wall plugin – and update it to solve other things – without it.

    For next release, we added “you posted an update” as a translatable string. Now you guys will have two string to translate “you posted an update” and “posted an update”

    Hi @michael, did you mean Version: 1.1.8?

    #40362
    @michael

    @milena Correct, version 1.1.8 which is now available for download

    Hi @michael,

    I updated the plugin, and tested the translation- I found only this string :

    “%s posted an update”.

    Since %s is still being translated differently (as “you” if you are looking at own profile) the translation issue remains.
    I tried changing the lines TJ originally gave me in wall-hooks.php, and that does not work either anymore, since the file has changed.

    The next release has an admin option to switch between using “You” or just displaying the Username, which should provide a solution for this issue.
