    Hi we’re looking to buy this plugin as well
    https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-user-badges/

    1) Please advise if the user badge will show everywhere the user makes posts? (activity feeds, private messages~we use Better Messages, and anywhere else on the site where the @username is seen?

    2) Is it possible for your system to identify when someone is no longer in a user ROLE that they no longer should have a badge, so it disappears if the user role isn’t assigned to them anymore?

    3) I can see this plugin hasn’t been updated in more than a year. Can you please confirm whether your team is willing to update this Premium Plugin to ensure full compatibility with PHP 8.4?x and WP Core 6.9, as well as security updates and code checks?

    Thanks we are keen to get this in place asap.

    4) Also, In February 2023, Twemojis were discontinued from Twitter/X on all mobile devices and replaced by each device’s native emoji designs. So, are you using FontAwesome or something else, so that icons for badges are consistent on all devices?

    Hi Jay,
    Thank you for your interest in the plugin. I will assist with all the queries:-

    1. Not all places. It appears in Member directory, User profile pages, Group members list and forum replies. Though it can be made easily available at any place where there is a filter hook available, we limited to the above known locations for predictable experience.

    2. Yes, role based badges do this.
    3. Yes, 100%. The plugin is fully compatible with WordPress 6.9. You may find a some of PCP warning about escaping output(mostly unnecessary as there are no user inputs, only site admins can edit/update).

    4. The plugin does not come with any icon/image on its own. You can upload images from the badge create/edit screen and use as you like. We used twemoji images in some of the demo.

    Hope that clarifies.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh,

    Thanks for reply.

    “Though it can be made easily available at any place where there is a filter hook available, we limited to the above known locations for predictable experience”

    Can you share the required hooks for it showing in activity feeds please?

    Also, maybe you could update the changelog/update date on your webpage it says 2024, but BP 14 came out after that, as did 6.9, hence my thought that it hadn’t been updated since then. Also despite not having user inputs, it would still be good for general security hygiene, so presumably you’ll take a brief look to ensure its as secure as possible. (our community will have many thousands of users, so we want to avoid as much chances of attack surface).

    We’re really happy with your willingness to address issues as seen in our communications, and from other responses in this forum.

    Let me know.

    We’re finalizing our buy list.
