I was trying to change the position of items in bp_options_nav by doing something like..

function px_bp_profile_nav() {
      global $bp; 
      // Change the order of menu items
      $bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 0;
      $bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 10;
      $bp->bp_nav['groups']['position'] = 20;
      $bp->bp_nav['blogs']['position'] = 30;
      $bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 40;
      $bp->bp_nav['settings']['position'] = 50;
}
 
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'px_bp_profile_nav', 1000);

However I noticed the only item being affected was ‘profile’.

I then did a bp_bump and the output is below.

I notice 2 things here, 1 that residual data exists (I no longer call “Groups”, “Collections”) and it looks like this is still present.

Also, there are only 3 items in bp_options_nav array. “activity”, “collections” and “profile”.

I wonder if this is why the positions wont change with the initial efforts.

Would anyone here know how to remedy this problem? It’s pretty frustrating.
