Ha, well “is it worth it” is a question I’m poorly equipped to answer because I’m a contributor to the BuddyPress project and think it’s very useful. Regarding BP, you can easily toggle off all of the components you don’t want, leaving only the membership pieces in place. But, sure, it’s a big plugin, so I get your hesitation.
I don’t know of any other wiki plugins for vanilla WordPress, but surely there’s something available. If you find something, it’d be great if you’d post it up to this issue so that others could know about it, too. Good luck!

Hey David, I decided to give it a go, and so far I think it’s really good and “worth it” haha. Now, I’d just like to make an index of everything. Are there some shortcodes that can show all documents for the same tag? I failed to find documentation for it.
Thank you!

Is there a community for this plugin? Like a Discord server or something?

Sorry another question, what is the minimum role a user needs to be able to create a document?
No problem. If the user is logged in, he or she can create a doc, even if they’re a subscriber or similar. You can tune that using a filter. There is example code in the support forum here to change that.
Probably the easiest way to view a tag is to use query parameters to change the view of your doc library. For instance /docs/?bpd_tag=trombone would show the main library with the tag “trombone” pre-selected.
I don’t know of a BP Docs user community, though there are lots of BP users, so it may be a possibility. 🙂

Thanks for your answer. My subscribers and my authors cannot see the New Document button.

Is your Taxonomy plugin stil working?

Sorry I keep spamming, Taxonomy plugin does not seem to work. I am trying to make self populated lists of the docs.

I see, the taxonomy plugin can fetch already existing categories and tags. However, I’m trying to pull these tags or categories to make lists. My WordPress doesn’t seem to consider the documents to actually have those tags or categories.

Hello, problems for creating documents are gone. It wasn’t a bug, people just weren’t logged in. My other questions are still valid!

Hi, I’m not sure what this means:

I would advise that you use taxonomies that you create specifically for use with BP Docs (or the taxonomies that are included with BP Docs). It’s simpler than having several different types of posts using the same terms.

Sorry for being unclear.
I’m trying to use a plugin like this one: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/list-category-posts/
In order to be able to build an index that populates itself.
Apparently, it is possible to use custom taxonomy with it, so I assume I should use “bpd_tag”?
As a suggestion, I would say it would be nice if you had some shortcodes included in your plugin, for people who want to have a different display than the current tag filter!
It is possible to build whatever output suits your needs using a loop (like, a “WordPress Loop”) based on the templating function we provide, bp_docs_has_docs(). You can see how we use it to build the table here: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/master/includes/templates/docs/docs-loop.php#L113
If you’re doing something pretty custom, which it sounds like you are, building your own loop is probably going to be your best bet.

Hello, thanks for your answer. It doesn’t seem that custom to me. I’m just trying to get a shortcode that will display a list of every doc from a specific tag. Would you confirm “bpd_tag” is the taxonomy used here?
Thank you!
Yes, bpd_tag is the taxonomy id.
