 * I don’t believe this request is related to what appeared to be a problem in the
   previous thread so I’ve posted it as a new feature request.
    I opened up a new
   BP forum on my site about a month ago & have have received several questions 
   from users on how to post images. They are “stuck” after inserting the images
   looking for the “Post Update” button they are accustomed to using. Although, 
   I figured out rather quickly that when using the buttons to upload images, the
   user must then click “add photos”, many don’t realize that is required to submit
   their comments/post when attaching images. Please consider changing that button(
   along with those for links & video) to the BP default button “Post Update” for
   consistency. We all use WordPress and when drafting a post, clicking “add image”
   or “gallery” only inserts the images into the post draft but we still need to
   click “Publish” in order to publish the post. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the
   excellent plugin & your support.
 * On a related note, I believe the term “Images” would be more suitable than “Photos”
   as the term images encompasses photos as well as other images such as charts,
   graphs, etc… than many sites use).

 * Hey there jaco44,
 * How are you doing today?
 * This has been brought up several times on Activity Plus subforum. What I’ve suggested
   most of the times is simply using plugin translation files to replace the text
   of those 3 buttons to “Post Update”. You’ll find more information on how to use
   translation files [here](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-plugin/?po=1).
 * You can also consider using plugin such as this one [https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/)
   which allows you to replace specific text on the front end.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
