BP-custom in the wrong place

I tried implementing the tutorial on how to change the Blogs menu which involved creating a bp-custom.php and putting it in the BuddyPress folder. Turns out that the code looks for this in the plugins folder:

bp-core.php says:

11 if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-custom.php’ ) )

12 require( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-custom.php’ );

Not sure if WP_PLUGIN_DIR should read BP_PLUGIN_DIR or if the tutorial is wrong

You place your bp-custom.php in /plugin/, not /plugin/buddypress/.

The “modifying the WordPress bar” tutorial says

“Any custom code that we create can be placed in a file called bp-custom.php. It gets loaded with all the rest of bp automatically by bp during each page load. If you donâ€™t have one already then create one in /plugins/buddypress.”

Whatever tutorial says, Jeff says all.

The codebase is the final authority. Look at line 9 of bp-core.php. It tells you exactly what to do.
```
/* Place your custom code (actions/filters) in a file called /plugins/bp-custom.php and it

will be loaded before anything else. */

if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-custom.php' ) )

require( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-custom.php' );
```

*chuckle* .. codebase has to be final authority .. otherwise it won’t work
