bp_core_new_nav_item() not working to create new navigation item under “my profile” tab

  • So I’m trying to add a new navigation under the “my profile” tab in buddypress once a user logs in. I created and am using the bp-custom.php file in my wp-content/plugins directory (outside of the buddypress directory) to insert the custom code. This is what I have and it’s not working simply causes
    This is the code I have in bp-custom.php file (and that’s all I have!)
    `<?php
    //place for custom buddypress functions
    bp_core_new_nav_item(
    array(
    ‘name’ => ‘feedback’,
    ‘slug’ => ‘Feedback’
    ));

    ?>`
    I got the following error in my browser.


    Server error
    The website encountered an error while retrieving http://tugora.com/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly


    I am using the frisco for buddypress theme, not sure if this is part of my problem.
    What can I do to fix this error? (move bp-custom? misuse of function? theme incompatibility?) Thanks in advance!

  • You need to first look in your web server’s PHP error log, and see what it says.

    Thanks for the response Paul. The php error log says the following


    stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_new_nav_item ()


    This of course means the function can’t be found. What do I need to do for the buddypress function to be recognized? Thanks again!

    That error is due to the missing $bp global.

    >So I’m trying to add a new navigation under the “my profile” tab

    Do you mean in the admin bar at the top?
    Or on profile pages under ‘Profile’ in the ‘Activity Profile Messages’ etc nav ?

    if it’s the latter, you want to a subnav item, not a nav item.
    Try this (which assumes you don’t know about the other functions needed) :

    `

    add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘add_feedback_subnav_tab’, 100 );
    function add_feedback_subnav_tab() {
    global $bp;
    bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
    ‘name’ => ‘Feedback’,
    ‘slug’ => ‘feedback’,
    ‘parent_url’ => trailingslashit( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . ‘profile’ ),
    ‘parent_slug’ => ‘profile’,
    ‘screen_function’ => ‘profile_screen_feedback’,
    ‘position’ => 50
    )
    );
    }

    // show feedback when ‘Feedback’ tab is clicked
    function profile_screen_feedback() {
    add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘profile_screen_feedback_show’ );
    bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
    }

    function profile_screen_feedback_show() {
    echo “Feedback Screen”;

    // call your feedback template
    //locate_template( array( ‘feedback-profile.php’ ), true );

    }

    `
