How can I rename (or even remove?) buddypress' wire-section? - wordpress

I am currently setting up an online community for the first time. I am a frequent worpress user, yet this one problem occurs:
I don't like the section name "wire". I'd much rather use something like "guestbook" or "short note" for it, but I cannot find the place to change it in the backend. It is not in the theme's CSS editor.
Same goes for the titles "Blog" of the Blog page or "Group/member listings" on the group/member pages :-(
Right now I am using
Wordpress MU 2.9.1.1
Buddy Press latest version
The free "Cosmic Buddy" Theme
I do have the "Enable Theme and Plugin Editor" and I could change the navbar button names with it and many other things, but not buddypress specific functions titles.

i would think you could do it following Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs in BuddyPress' How-To Guides.

Display WP plugins in choosen place

I have done a tutorial about writing WordPress plugins but this tutorial was bad. The teacher said about creating widgets and shortcodes (adding an option to that) but a lot of plugins can display it's options in other places. For example - the Yoast plugin can display it's an option on the page to create a new page. I don't know even how to find information about that. Could you give me a link or said me how can I find that?

WordPress - translations not appended even strings are edited

Well after 5 days of trying to find solution, I think I need WordPress magician to help me solve this.
I am translating my WordPress site. So far I have translated over 80% of the content mainly accessing .po files via server or by using LocoTranslate
I have troubles with translating some specific content on the page:
When accessing Products section in WordPress Dashboard I can see that even the settings are translated (to Danish) but some content of the same product page are not.
Image Of PRODUCT page:
What I have tried so far:
Checked all In Stock strings via LocoTranslate plugin (for main theme po file and plugins file) and all are translated to Danish.
I changed Main language in General WP Settings
Tried TranslatePress plugin, and when accessing the page via it, it does not offer an option to translate In Stock part. Evan tough it offers an option to translate action button and I did that.
As I can see on the editing page In Stock is clearly part:
Product settings on Dashboard
This means "In Stock" and even here is translated, too.
Note: When refreshing the page the translation is seen for a part of a second for the BUTTON, then it changes back to English.
Well, I am desperate. Can someone offer some other solution how I can fix this?

Users can type and edit my published post, can't figure out why

On my post from the first h2 tag and down if you click in the text you can type and edit the content. While it doesn't save, I don't want users to be able to do this. I cannot figure out why this is happening.
I originally posted this in wordpress.stack thinking this was a wordpress issue but now i'm convinced it is my code.

This is not Wordpress default behaviour, it's either due to your theme (the Stanley theme) or a plugin you are running.
I note in the code, the entire <div> surrounding the contents has this attribute on it:
<div id="contentsContainer" contenteditable="true">
It doesn't look like the contents are editable on the official Stanley site, so I'd hazard a guess that you have a plugin doing something like this.
If you disable all your plugins, check if the content is editable, and then re-enable each plugin one by one you should be able to determine which plugin is doing this.
Then, I'd suggest looking into that plugin's specific settings to see whether there's an option to turn this behaviour off.
For example, here's a plugin that adds this behaviour - WP Errata - are you using that plugin by any chance?

Wordpress TinyMCE not converting simple 'www.sitename.com' to hyperlink, as in demos

Despite the behavior of examples shown on TinyMCE's demo pages (http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/classic.php), I am unable to get TinyMCE on my Wordpress 4.0 site to act in such a way that if you simply type "www.sitename.com" into the editor and press space, it's automatically converted into a hyperlink for http://www.sitename.com/.
To be clear, it doesn't convert into any link at all...This isn't a case of absolute vs. relative links. That's what most of the talk seems to be about when it comes to TinyMCE and link creation. ...Would that I could get to that stage!
I can find no toggle or option or plugin name to enable automatic link creation, and yet it's there in their demos on the TinyMCE's site.
Can anyone tell me how I might get this feature up and running, ideally by not adding another Wordpress plugin?
Err...That being said, I'm open to a suggestion if you have a really good one! :)
Cheers!
Even though you found a plugin, some background might help because I personally think this is a good question:
Wordpress uses TinyMCE, however the Wordpress WYSIWYG Editor is actually heavily extended and no longer fully resembles the original TinyMCE editor you see on the TinyMCE website.
In order for links to automatically render in TinyMCE, the 'autolink' plugin needs to be enabled. The following native TinyMCE plugins are used by Wordpress:
charmap
colorpicker
hr
lists
media
paste
tabfocus
textcolor
fullscreen
image
In addition to these, Wordpress also employs the following custom plugins to fill out the remainder of the functionality you normally see:
wordpress
wpautoresize
wpeditimage
wpgallery
wplink
wpdialogs
wpview
It is my belief that Wordpress left out this behavior by design. As you know, the Autolink plugin specifically converts all valid URLs to comparable anchor tags once the space or return keys are pressed. However, Wordpress does allow you to explicitly convert URLs or words to anchor tags using its own plugin 'wplink'.
It should be noted that the wplink plugin closely resembles the native anchor plugin, but is NOT the same.
With the ability to both explicitly define your links in both the visual editor (via the wplink plugin) and the Text (aka: HTML) editor, I believe the development team decided to forgo on automatically linking content in favor of allowing authors to explicitly provide links where needed.
With all of that said:
Wordpress does provide a convenient way of adding new TinyMCE plugins via its 'mce_external_plugins' filter. If you would like to add the autolink functionality without the use of an external plugin, you may download the latest TinyMCE package, upload the autolink plugin (tinymce/js/tinymce/plugins/autolink) to your theme folder, and then add the following to your theme's functions.php:
add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'mm_add_tinymce_plugins');
function mm_add_tinymce_plugins($plugins){
$plugins['autolink'] = get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/path/to/tinymce/plugins/autolink/plugin.js';
return $plugins;
}

WordPress - Modifying the MediaFlux theme

I have installed the MediaFlux theme from Mojo-Themes on my website at www.sjsueconomics.org. Here are my questions:
As you can see on the website, the blue menu at the very top of the page currently displays Page Titles. I want to display External Links there instead. How do I modify the code to do it?
The main menu (red text below the logo) currently displays Categories. Without changing the style or appearance, I want to display the Page Titles instead. How do I do it?
Thanks in advance!
The company you paid for the theme provides support, not a community which has no access to this product.
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com ; customizing a paid theme while providing no code (and having no right to provide any code) is not an appropriate subject for a StackOverflow question
if the theme supports custom menus, there ought to be a Menus page in the admin, under Appearances probably, or perhaps Settings. Go there, then create a menu with the pages or categories you want, then tell the theme to use the menu you created instead of the default. If the theme doesn't have such a feature, you'll need a programmer.
