Fixing deprecated bp_nav code?

I have inherited a Buddypress site and have this error:

bp_nav was called incorrectly These globals should not be used directly and are deprecated. Please use the BuddyPress nav functions instead.

I have found where it is being used. Eg:

global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[‘notifications’] = false;

But I cannot find on the documentation what the new Buddypress nav functions should be to replace this? please help!

Hi @katmacau-

Here are some examples for changing navigation menus using the new API:

Navigation API

This is what I’m guessing you’ll want to use:
```
function bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab() {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab' );
```
One question though: if you’re not using the notifications, why not just turn off the notifications component in the BuddyPress settings screen in wp-admin?

Thanks for that. That was just a snippet of the code I’ve inherited in a theme I am using. There are multiple remove nav items so that code will work for those.

The other two deprecated functions I have in there include lines like this:

$bp->bp_options_nav[‘dashboard’][‘edit-conpany-profile’] = false;

And:

if ($bp->current_component != “membership”)

What is the new code for ” $bp->bp_options_nav” and “$bp->current_component”?

Thanks in advance.

I also have one where I set a value of a bp_nav item. Eg:

$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘name’] = “New label”;

What new code would I use for that?

To change items, see the link I referenced: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/navigation-api/#change-item-names-of-users-and-groups-nav-menus
