Preguntas frecuentes

Is BuddyPress required for this plugin?

Yes, this plugin requires either BuddyPress 12.0 or higher, or BuddyBoss Platform to be installed and activated. It’s specifically designed to integrate with BuddyPress/BuddyBoss member profiles and groups.

Does this work with BuddyBoss Platform?

Absolutely! The plugin is fully compatible with BuddyBoss Platform and has been tested extensively to ensure seamless integration with all BuddyBoss features.

Can members see each other’s personal todos?

No. Personal todos are completely private. Only the member who created the todo can view and manage their personal tasks. However, group todos are visible to group administrators and moderators for tracking purposes.

How do group todos work?

When a group admin or moderator creates a group todo, they can assign it to all members or selected individuals. Each assigned member receives their own copy of the task in their personal todo list, which they can mark complete independently. The group overview page shows everyone’s progress.

Can I customize the «Todo» label?

Yes! Navigate to User Todo List > Settings > General Settings. You can customize both the singular label (e.g., «Task») and plural label (e.g., «Tasks»), as well as the URL slug for the todo section.

How do email notifications work?

The plugin uses BuddyPress’s native email system. Members receive automatic reminders before their tasks are due. Members can control their own notification preferences from their profile settings, and site admins can customize email templates from Settings > BuddyPress > Emails.

Can members create their own categories?

This is configurable by site admins. In the General Settings, you can choose to allow or disallow members from creating their own todo categories. If disabled, only site admins can create categories.

Will old completed tasks slow down my database?

No! The plugin includes an automatic data retention feature that cleans up old completed tasks. You can configure retention periods and choose whether to trash or permanently delete old tasks. This keeps your database optimized.

Can site admins view all group todos?

Yes! Site administrators have read-only access to all group tasks, even in groups they’re not members of. This provides oversight without interfering with group operations. Tasks are displayed with a read-only badge and cannot be modified by non-member admins.

Can I export todo lists?

Yes, members can export their personal todo lists to CSV format from their profile. This is useful for offline tracking, reporting, or importing into other systems.

Does this plugin work with multisite?

Yes, the plugin supports WordPress multisite installations. You can activate it network-wide or on individual sites within your network.

Can I display todos on other pages?

Yes! Use the shortcode [bptodo_by_category] to display todos on any page or post. You can filter by category using [bptodo_by_category category=»work»]. See the USER-GUIDE.md for more shortcode options.

Is the plugin translation ready?

Yes! The plugin is fully translation ready with an included POT file. It also includes RTL (right-to-left) language support for Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages. French translation is already included.

Where can I get support?

We offer comprehensive support through multiple channels:
* Support Portal – Submit tickets and browse knowledge base
* Documentation – Detailed guides and tutorials
* GitHub – Report bugs and request features
* USER-GUIDE.md and DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md files included in the plugin directory

Can I customize the plugin?

Yes! The plugin includes 15+ action hooks and 10+ filter hooks for developers to extend functionality. Complete documentation is provided in the DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md file. You can also override templates by copying them to your theme’s buddypress/todo/ directory.

Will this work with my theme?

The plugin has been tested with popular BuddyPress and BuddyBoss themes including BuddyX, Reign, Youzify, and others. It follows BuddyPress template standards, so it should work with any properly coded BuddyPress-compatible theme.

How often is the plugin updated?

We regularly update the plugin to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress, BuddyPress, and BuddyBoss. Security patches are released promptly when needed.

Great plugin – I use it as part of my students’ learning tools and it works very well… you can use it individually or for group tasks. Very cool!
19 de mayo de 2020
Just installed, but exactly what I’m after. Integration with groups was updated at the start of the year so it works with groups now. Excited to see how it goes. If I have anything to add I will update this review, but first check looks good. Thanks! Very excited.
