Overview

Simple BuddyPress Notifications replaces the default BuddyPress notification icon with a custom bell icon that also plays a sound when new notifications are received. It shows the number of unread notifications and plays a ting sound for new notifications.

This plugin works in two modes:
1. Live Notifications: Notifications will be updated in real-time with audio and visual alerts when the user is logged in.
2. Offline Notifications: When the user is offline, the plugin will still show the number of unread notifications.

Use the shortcode [simple_buddypress_notifications] to display the notifications icon anywhere on your site.
