Hello. Can users customize the notifications they want? That is, can they turn off the ones they don’t want?
I have purchased it, I need to know if this plugin’s notification can alert for BuddyPress messages.
We’re really sorry, but the wpDiscuz – User Notifications addon doens’t have such a feature.
hi, is it possible to display webpush notifications in an android application with webview?
Hi,
Please be aware that we’ve utilized the Notifications API from Mozilla (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification). As a result, the functionality depends on the Android system and is beyond our control.
Can I set up a numeric notification display in the bottton right corner of the screen similar to a live notification bubble?
You can use the CSS code. Please watch this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/5TEzs6zf
The CSS code:
ul.wpdiscuz-bell-shortcode-menu {
position: fixed;
border: 7px solid #3a6a61;
border-radius: 48%;
padding: 17px;
bottom: 159px;
right: 55;
}
Please note the code is just an example. You should make the further customizations yourself.
This FAQ should be helpful for you: https://wpdiscuz.com/community/f-a-q/how-to-customize-the-wpdiscuz-wordpress-plugin-styles/
I have purchased a plugin and I want it to be displayed on all pages. I have added %wpdiscuz-bell% to the menu, but when I click on the bell, there are no changes. I checked for errors in the console using F12, but there were none. Please help me with how to display it on all pages and show it on the right side of the screen like a live chat bubble.
You’ve already answered here: https://gvectors.com/forum/wpdiscuz-user-notifications/the-issue-is-displaying-the-notification-button/#post-36771
Hello, does the User Notification add on require the User & Mention Commenting add on? Or does it require only the wpdiscuz plugin?
Hi Mary,
It requires only the wpDiscuz plugin.
I have ultimate member will this comment notification mess with my ultimate member notification? Is there any way for both of them to be one notification?
They’ll work separately. wpDiscuz Notification doesn’t impact other notification solutions. It does its job in its way.
Will you consider creating a Ultimate Member Notifications and WP Dicuzz Notification extension add on as one?
Hi Audrey,
I’m sorry, but we’re not planning to create such an addon.
Hi – how did the push notifications exactly work ? do i need a provider like onesignal for it ?
Two options of user notifications are available.
1. You can put the notification bell in the main menu using %wpdiscuz-bell% shortcode as a Custom Link URL.
2. you can enable Web Push Notification generated and controlled by browsers. These kinds of notifications are displayed on the screen even if you switched to another tab or minimized the browser window.
You can log in, for example here and check how the addon works: https://addons.wpdiscuz.com/wpdiscuz-giphy-integration/
Once you logged in you’ll see the notification bell in the main menu.
Since the integration addons are not handled like the bundle for Multisites, i guess you should ad a multisite license option to them
Hi Xenia,
You can Choose the License Type
1. Single Site License
2. 3 Sites License
3. 10 Sites License
Please find more info here: https://gvectors.com/terms-and-conditions/#licenses
I know that – i mean its to expensive for large multisite owners (with wpdiscuz bundle) to add the new integration addons – and buy each subsite a license – you should create an offer for multisite users like the bundle offer.
I agree with Xenia. Your answer is inadequate. I have the bundle so I am happy to get unlimited websites every year. Getting a 10-Site License is $95 a horrible deal and not worth the hassle. These comments are 5 months old. Would you please reconsider?
Hi, I have a suggestion. When you mark a single notification as READ, it redirects you to the notification that you are removing, I guess it shouldn’t redirect you to anything or just the same page that you are.
Will this be added to the bundle i already purchased?
Hi methodology,
Please read pinned topic: https://gvectors.com/forum/wpdiscuz-official-addons/integration-addons-are-not-included-in-the-bundle/
The information about addons which are not included in the addon bundle is placed under the [Buy Now] button.
you need a solution ffor multisite users here…..
Hi, how do I add it manually to my header.php? I tried both codes and they are shown as text

Hi ugur yilmaz,
Please contact us via support[at]gvectors.com email address.
Hello
Does the notification bell sound like a simple sound alert to draw the user’s attention?
Please make sure of this because it is important (An audible notification will sound on the notification bell)
Hi salah,
Thank you for contacting us.
We’ll add this feature in the next version of the addon.
Hello, on our website we had to purchase the BuddyPress Integration addon to receive notifications, I see here now you have a user notification addon
1) does this replace the BuddyPress one?
2) Do we need to have both, or will just the one work?
3) If I purchase the user notification addon, do I remove the BuddyPress one?
Thanks.
Hi canewsforum,
Please find my answers below:
No it doesn’t. The BuddyPress integration addons is a large addon with many features. The notifications of the wpDiscuz BuddyPress Integration addon goto users profile page into the Notification tab. All notifications are generated by BuddyPress, and they are different notifications. This addon cannot manage BuddyPress notifications.
If your theme doesn’t have a Notification Bell in the front-end and the users don’t see notifications on the page, then you can use the wpDiscuz user notification addon. This addon adds Web Push notifications as well.
No, they do different jobs, and they don’t conflict with each others. However, if you already have a notification bell or other visible components displaying user notifications by BuddyPress, you don’t need to buy the Notification addon.
Please, translate russian language
Thank you for contacting us juura!
All frontend phrases are located in the Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > User Notifications admin page. You should translate it yourself. You can also translate it using the Loco Translate plugin.
If you finish the translation you can send us the PO/MO files so we’ll be able to include them in future versions of the addon.
