Its actually a VERY good thing for people who operate websites in a language with extended or accent characters. I’m sure there are no issues with a vanilla WordPress install. The problems occur when plugin authors like myself don’t keep up with tweaks to the API.

When I originally wrote the code, I copied exactly how WordPress was creating a post slug. Its apparent that has changed since I wrote it, so I need to take a look at the current code and bring it up to date.

The WordPress API function is sanitize_title_with_dashes()

I pass the Name/Title to that function to create the slug something like this:

$link->slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes( $name );

I always thought that removed special characters, but WordPress has made a big push towards being 100% UTF-8 compliant for everything, so they might have backed off replacing some of the characters recently? I’m not sure.

Sorry it took so long to respond, this plugin is not very popular so I quit checking this support forum.

So you want the list of group names in the profile field you create be used for the group name and slug (kind of a like a template)? Is the motivation that its a pain to have to create all of the groups ahead of time? From personal experience, that definitely sucks.

I think this is possible. I need to consider any security issues.

Please reply if u are still interested so I know at least ONE person will use this functionality if I invest the time into it.

That is pretty weird. The WordPress function I use to generate the slug is supposed to be converting those special characters to standard alphabet. Maybe something has changed in more recent versions, I will open a ticket and take a look soon.

Marking as resolved

Groups integration is a feature of the pro version: https://shop.presscrew.com/shop/buddypress-links/

Please do a test with the bp-default theme active. If it works with the default theme, then more than likely your theme is causing the issue.

You need to add categories.

From the dashboard BP Links -> Manage Categories
