hmmm, nice question, I am also interested in such changes
Will update if I find a work around.
If you haven’t already, create a child theme.
Then copy your buddypress/template folder & subfolders over to your child theme.
Go through each file, search for instances of the word “FRIENDS,” and replace it with “CONNECTIONS.”
Or, you can pay a developer thousands of dollars to make a plugin do it for you 🙂

If you can’t find all instances of the word “FRIENDS” in these files, check your buddypress.po file and use Poedit to hack it out of there too.
@aaronthomas1979 have you or anyone given that method a try? Why not use localhost and try it out?
Hi,
Please check this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/
Using this plugin just go to it’s plugins menu and open BuddyPress there and then in your prefered language file find the word and replace it with your text.
Hopefully, it will help you.
Thanks
@prashantvatsh i almost want to tell you that you are stupid but i wont be rude to you. That link you posted there is very far from what we are looking for.
Have you tried creating language files and then tried translating texts? I have used it in so many client projects so I guess you were not able to change friends to connections 🙂 If you are not then please let me know I will explain how to do that.
Thanks
And to change the URL from ‘friends’ to ‘connections’ just write this in bp-custom.php file define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'connections' );
If that plugin can really do that then it is not user-friendly, it’s as if the developers just did it in a way only him can easily use it.
I was not able to change friends to connections.
Let me show you the way to do it and maybe you are missing one important stuff and that is the theme translation. Please check the video I made for you to explain the working: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cF6O0lY5iP
so one has to change eveything one by one? What of those source texts that have something in their context text already?
define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘connections’ );
this didn’t work
also the Loco Plugin didn’t work, everything is still friends.
Also, the plugin stated clearly that changes will vanish upon WP update. It’s not the right tool for the solution.
@dope-boy you are really rude for the “stupid” statment to @prashantvatsh
…
what @prashantvatsh gave you is the best solution to what you are actually looking for
..
the only way to change buddypress labels like on the menu (“friend, profile, notification ” ) .. the best way is my changing the language to your choice
..
@prashantvatsh was just trying to help
I don’t expect you to understand @evillizard you were no in my shoes then. If you were then I will try to reason along with you judgement.
And it didn’t work, even till now. Please get some understanding, stop trying to piss me off the more.
…and that the word “stupid” appeared in my statement doesn’t mean I think he’s stupid. I think I was clear enough.
…but I won’t be rude to you
Did you know what that means? I was really pissed at that time that it didn’t work. But I couldn’t just be pissed to the one guy that tried to salvage the situation. I was pissed, but heck, I couldn’t get pissed at him. Are u that dumb Mr @evillizard? 😉 😉 that I discussed my discomfort doesn’t mean I wanna show it.
What kind of lizard are you? Hope u’r not Godzilla. I hope u don’t think I’m being rude to u also.
