Can the BuddyPress activity posts for newly submitted locations be customized?
Yes. The automatically published activity posts can be modified to your liking through the template, this is done through the plugin settings.
Not only that but you can use placeholders to inject content that is more relevant to the location such as the title, author and the link to the location within the activity post.
To learn more about this feature see this Help article.
Can I change the "Locations" or "Manage Locations" text that appears in the tabs or in other locations within the BuddyPress members profiles for Locations manager?
All front-end labels can be customized to your liking directly in the plugin settings. This is very useful for sites in languages other than English or for just giving the site that extra personal touch in terms of voice and tone.
To learn more about this feature see this Help article.
I don't want my BuddyPress members to be able to add or modify locations. Is there any way to remove these links from their profiles?
Yes. You can disable the links to Manage Locations through the plugin settings. Removing all the Manage Locations links and tabs will leave the user with no way to create or edit locations and they will just be able to view locations that you have uploaded.
