    I’m using BuddyPress Profile Visibility Manager with BuddyBoss and I am trying to change “friend” and “friendship” to “connection” in the language file like what is used in BuddyBoss. I’ve followed tutorials for Poedit but the edits do not seem to be working. I prefer using Poedit and not run another plugin. Initially I created a new directory wp-content/plugins/bp-profile-visibility-manager/languages and uploaded the new files there. This did not work. I also tried replacing the original .po and .mo files created by Poedit. This also did not work. I do not know if I’m using the program incorrectly or editing the wrong files or uploading them to the wrong place. I searched and tried to make the modifications myself before asking for help but I am unsuccessful. Is there some insight you can give me?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for using the plugin.

    Question:- What is the locale for your site? Is it en_US?

    I will share the translated file. The file needs to go to the wp-content/languages/plugins directory.

    Regards

    Yes, it is en_US. My previous post was not correct, I actually created the directory “wp-content/languages/plugins” and uploaded the the Poedit files there. Thank you for creating the files for me. If possible, I would like to know why it didn’t work for me though.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please download the files from here.

    I am assuming the issue could be related to file naming.

    Yes. Thank you. The naming wasn’t the issue though. I used Poedit which doesn’t seem complicated but I have to admit, in my haste, I may not have created the files correctly. I’m curious, is it possible to just use a text editor on a .po file and use Poedit to create the .mo file? The issiue I found was that Poedit didn’t seem to properly find and replace. I will look into the proper use of the program. You can close this and no need to reply.

    Thanks again.
