Introduction
BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to display text labels on the icons in the Create a Post menu. You can use a CSS snippet to add descriptive text, making it clearer for users what each icon represents, such as Photo, Video, Document, or GIF.
Custom Workaround
- In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On
- Paste the following CSS:
.post-elements-buttons-item a i:after {
font-family: "Roboto";
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.media-support > a i:after { content: "Photo"; }
.video-support > a i:after { content: "Video"; }
.document-support > a i:after { content: "Document"; }
.post-gif i:after { content: "GIF"; }- Click Save Changes
Any custom code is considered “custom work.” Please review our Support Policy for more details.
