I am looking to change the name of the “forum” sub nav tab in the groups to something like “message boards”. I have found this article:

http://themekraft.com/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

It explains how to change the name of a tab, but when I add the code to my bp-custom.php file, nothing changes.

I am using WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.3.1

Is there a way to make those changes?

This might help.

Tried what was called out in the above link.

Not sure why, but that wasn’t working either. I thought it might have been the fact that I had the group hierarchy plugin enabled, but after disabling nothing changed.

I am able to successfully change the slug of the main forum ect. by changing the page slug. What I am trying to change is at least 3 levels deep in the group. For example:

/groups/nfl/forum/

I want to change the display word “Forum” on the subnav to “Message Boards”. I am assuming if I can change that last slug, it will change the display text as well.

I would hard code it into my theme if I knew where to find the code.
