not clear what you mean. Buddypress pages are totally responsive, we added even special scripts for Buddypress tabed menu for mobiles, emails and other improvements
P.s. I didn’t write here about new features, but we didn’t stop improvements.
First of all, we added many bridges between theme, wc vendor and membership plugins. For example, you can synchronize vendor role with other role. This is very helpful when you want to divide all users with different roles and restrictions. For example, your membership plugin has role “PRO user”. You can sync it with vendor role and when user get this role, he automatically get also vendor role.
The same is possible for reputation system based on Mycred. For example, you can set number of points when user will get (or lose) vendor role.
Other improvement is integration of our unique comparison function to woocommerce. No need for heavy and useless YITH compare plugin. Our extension is very light and allows to compare even different groups of products with own comparison page. Page can be automatically (will show all attributes of woocommerce product) or can be custom (you can choose elements for comparison). Compare page is responsive and draggable on mobiles and seo optimised.
Also, we added more deep integration with Buddypress and now you can sync vendor role and Buddypress Member Type system. This can be a big step to make not only multi vendor site but also community in the same time.
Currently, we have too much requests from clients to add phone in these fields for both versions of plugin. I think this information is critical for orders and must be visible by default in both version without any customizations.
For last update we added one important and useful function for combination GMW locator and Vendor plugin. Very often, owners of site want to add search with location to products. Means, that user will get results with products, not vendors. GMW has such module and it works similar to user module. Problem was that vendors must add location to each product which they add to site. We solve this with small script. Now, vendors can set their location only once in store settings and all new products will have this location assigned automatically.
I have another several customers who found this problem as a real big bug which makes their site totally broken.

I understand that this notice will be just notice if debug mode is disabled. But in many cases, sich issue can have big impact on all login/register functions and even breaks admin page.
One more time, how easily to solve this. Instead of using
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( $this, 'include_core' ) );you can use
add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'include_core' ) );or, if it’s impossible, you can load only one file class-product-meta.php with init hook
Basic theme language is english, but you can easily translate theme. Usually, you need to translate just some words.
We don’t have french speeking support
Tell me what problem do you have with social market?
We continue developing multi vendor functions.
And next part is ready – extended filters for vendors.
Many buyers ask how to add categories for vendors and now we made this. Steps were next:
1. We added inclusions of xprofile fields in login/register popup, woocommerce register page and store settings. So, you can add additional fields in register form.
2. To use filters for search form – you can use Geo My WordPress with some new output templates in theme
3. We also updated search templates of form in GMW
4. We also added data from Xprofile in main Store (vendor) page
Done. We found sollution for this and added some customizations.
Here part of article where is some snippets about WC Vendor synchronization
Problem is that it’s not real Buddypress issue. Without WC Vendor – there is no such error in Buddypress. As I wrote early, you use current_user_can() function in plugins_loaded hook, but such function must be in init hook as in most of popular member plugins to prevent different incompatibilities. And it’s not a single problem with Buddypress. BBPress also will have the same problem.
@Conscious Crafties I think BuddyBoss is also great developers, but they have many themes, so less time to develop single theme for multivendors. But I like many things which they do
@Pippa Yesterday we updated store locator functions and added additional custom search form, special for using on home pages. It has big fields and can be used inside visual composer modules http://screencast.com/t/3Auj8IcrAnd yes, Geo My WordPress can show/hide map and even divide results and search form on different pages. Currently, I like this plugin and how it works.
Also, we added support for post/products. Sometimes buyers ask for these feature (so, users can search not vendors in their location, but products)
I see that @shane created separate paid extension.
We also found free sollution and after many customizations we added free Store Locator to our theme. Next thing we made in 6.2.3
1. I used Geo My WordPress locator, because I didn’t find another good member sollution.
2. I copied some functions and map forms from GMW and found way to add map locatorform to settings for WC Vendor (works for free and paid version). GMW form is ajaxed, so, it works great on setting page. I also customized scripts of form and now, if you use WC Vendor PRO, data from map locator will be also populated in adress fields of WC Vendor
3. I created vertical and horizontal search form for GMW
4. I created 5 custom output templates for search results. 2 templates shows BP users, 2 shows Vendors, 1 is combined seller list.
5. I added some filters in map, so, map pins shows vendor store data instead of user data.
6. I added customized icons, so, map will show store icon if user is vendor and member icon if user is not vendor.CUrrently we are working on store locator. Some sollutions were found already and I think we will add this in next 10-14 days
My thoughts on this topic.
Currently, when users set stores, they can only add adress, but this is not enough for use such data for any location plugin, because such data is not validated and users can add everything to these fields.
The only way is to add map locator in store settings with google map API, where users will choose exact locations which will be stored as gmap position. Also, I think that this position must be stored in two formats: as string address and as separate latitude, longitute, because many plugins use different data to sort locations.
Give me some time, I will add this to my theme and maybe show some sollutions for this
I don’t write that you call bp_setup_current_user. This calling is from Buddypress. I wrote that you make calling of current_user_can() which makes this notice.
I suggest that this is because you use hook plugins_loaded to load core functions. Many other plugins use hook “init” which is calling after plugins_loaded, and this creates some incompatibilities with your plugin. Among these plugins: BPress and BuddyPress, also most of other extended plugins for user functions.
So, more safety way is to call current_user_can() after “init”.
Currently, this doesn’t make any big problem, but they can be in some cases
You are right. Order page was not set, I thought it was not important.
I want to add one more question about store page.
I found different code to get page of user. In docs and in PRO templates code is different.
For example,
In docs
$store_url = WCVendors_Pro_Vendor_Controller::get_vendor_store_url($vendor->ID);In templates of PRO version
WCV_Vendors::get_vendor_shop_page( $vendor_id)The same is for many others code snippets. why? and is some basic functions for wc vendor free working also for PRO or it’s better to use WCVendors_Pro_Vendor_Controller class?
I use next code
if (class_exists('WCV_Vendor_Shop')){Is this correct? Is this working also for WC Vendor PRO?
You have separate page in docs for hooks, but I think you should also do some functions for developers or describe some common sollutions.
