Hi,

To create notifications for posts in certain categories only, you can add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter('wnbell_restrict_post_term','restrict_post_category',10,2);
 function restrict_post_category($allowed, $post_id){
$categories = array('Some category', 'Another category');
$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( $post_id, array('fields' => 'ids') );
$allowed = false;
foreach($categories as $category){
$cat_id = get_cat_ID($category);
if(!$cat_id) continue;
if(in_array($cat_id,$post_categories)){
$allowed=true;
break;
}
}
return $allowed;
 } 

and replace this with your categories:
$categories = array(‘Some category’, ‘Another category’);

For the custom post types, I’m not sure what you mean. I can’t test with this theme but let me know if there’s something I should fix.

Hi,

When the custom action is triggered, you can store it in a new table or in an array in the user_meta table and use this function wnbell_update_user_count( $user_id ) to increment the notification count.

To see this notification in the box, you can use these filter hooks:
wnbell_user_notifications_array : to sort the notifications with the other user notifications before outputting them

wnbell_user_notifications_output : returns the html output of a notification item you’ll see in the notification box

To change the css for seen notifications, you can use these hooks:

wnbell_add_unseen : when a user clicks on a notification, you can add its id to an array of viewed notifications

wnbell_seen_data : to get the array of viewed notifications id for a particular user to use for the output

Hi,

I’ll consider adding it in the future. If you need it urgently, you can look at the includes/menu_bell.php file (line 175 to 247) to find how to fetch different types of notifications. On the buddypress plugin side, to modify the menu bar, you can use this filter ‘bp_core_get_notifications_for_user’.
Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll try to look more into but it probably won’t be before next month or later.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. I just released an update with the option to add a title to notifications to manage them.

For the css class and id, they’re empty unless you add them in Settings->Notification item, you can check out this option here.

Users should normally be able to see recently added posts notifications. But they can’t see notifications on posts that were published before the plugin activation or when the “Enable new post notification” is unchecked. You can update the last few posts with the option checked to create notifications.

Let me know if you have any other question or suggestion.

Hi, in that case, you can try this in your theme’s functions.php file (or in a custom plugin):

add_filter("wnbell_notification_conditions", "add_notification_conditions");
function add_notification_conditions()
{
    $condition = "";
    $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();

    $seen_posts = get_user_meta($current_user_id, 'wnbell_seen_notification_post', true);
    if (!$seen_posts) {
        return $condition;
    }
    $condition = "AND posts.ID NOT IN(" . wnbell_escape_array($seen_posts) . ")";

    return $condition;
}

Hi,

Does it happen when you enable the BuddyPress notifications option or with other types of notifications as well?
I’m unable to replicate this issue so it would help if you can contact me here: [email protected] to see where it’s coming from.

Hi,

Do you still have this problem even after uninstalling and installing the latest version?
If you’re using the logged-in bell, you can contact me here: [email protected] with how to access the website so I can look into it.

Great! You’re welcome!
