@benworx What version of Buddypress are you using? I have 2.2.1 with no edited translations, and I see “Ben changed their profile picture”…

Hi Paul,

The gender setting does not seem available in the Buddyboss profile.

Gender is a standard function from Buddypress. Is there a method to implement it in to the theme and wall?

Thanx!

[Paul]

@benworx I don’t use BB Wall so I can’t advise there. Have you tried disabling that to see if your grammar issue is still there? I don’t see it on a standard Buddypress install with BB or Boss installed.

Thanx Paul,

I’ll start asking these questions in the moderated forum for the Buddyboss wall..

It is in the wall that the gender issue appears:

Example: Sarah update his profile picture…

Thanx for your help!

Hello Ben, Gender is not the core field for the Buddypress or WordPress.
it is site admin who creates X-profile fields on the basis of his requirements.

Add this code in bp-custom.php or child themes functions.php
and create a Xprofile Field with name : Gender
with option Male and Female

It is just a conditional check for print updated message.

function boss_activity_change_avatar( $entry, $user_id ) {
    $gender = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Gender&user_id=' . $user_id );

    if ( $gender == 'Male' ) {
        $entry = sprintf( __( '%s updated his profile picture', 'buddypress' ), $userlink );
    } else if ( $gender == 'Female' ) {
        $entry = sprintf( __( '%s updated her profile picture', 'buddypress' ), $userlink );
    } else {
       
    }
    return $entry;
}
add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_new_avatar_action', 'boss_activity_change_avatar', 10, 2 );
