## Description
Buddy Notification Bell adds a real-time notification bell to your BuddyPress or
BuddyBoss site. New notifications are detected automatically using the WordPress
Heartbeat API — no page reload needed.
**Key features:**
* Real-time detection of new notifications via WordPress Heartbeat API
* Sound alert on new notification (enable/disable in settings)
* LinkedIn-style dropdown panel with avatar, text, and time
* Unread count badge on the bell icon
* Floating bell button option (great for block/FSE themes)
* Place the bell anywhere with the `[buddy_notification_bell]` shortcode
* Auto-injects into the primary navigation menu (classic themes)
* Mark all notifications as read with one click
* Individual or grouped notification display style
* Full BuddyBoss Platform compatibility — including an option to trigger BuddyBoss’s
own notification panel on bell click
* Secure: all AJAX endpoints nonce-verified, all output properly escaped

## FAQ
### Does this plugin work with BuddyBoss Platform?
Yes. Full BuddyBoss Platform support is included. All BuddyBoss notification types(
connections, follow, groups, messages, etc.) display correctly in the bell dropdown.
You can also enable the “Use BuddyBoss Notification Panel” option so the bell triggers
BuddyBoss’s native panel instead of the built-in dropdown.
### Does this plugin work with bbPress?
Yes, it works with bbPress. You must have the BuddyPress Notifications module active.
### Where do I ask for support?
Email buddydevelopers@gmail.com or 1naveengiri@gmail.com.
### How do I change the bell icon?
Use this filter in your theme’s functions.php:
`add_filter( 'buddy_bell_icon',
function( $icon ) { return ''; } );
### How do I place the bell in a custom location?
Use the shortcode `[buddy_notification_bell]` on any page, widget, or template.
You can also call it from PHP: `echo do_shortcode( '[buddy_notification_bell]' );`
### Can I show a floating bell button?
Yes. Go to Notification Display and enable “Show Floating Bell”. It appears fixed
at the bottom-right corner — useful for block/FSE themes.

We requested Naveen’s help on a customised version of the plugin and he accepted
the job. The turnaround was quick, the price was fair and the client was satisfied.
I can definitely recommend this plugin and Naveen. Will not hesitate to work with
him again in the future.
