Can’t get bp_core_new_nav_default() function to work for the settings menu. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

---

I’ve tried using the bp_core_new_nav_default() function to change the default tab in settings to notifications, but it doesn’t appear to have any effect on the menu:

function settings_default_subnav() {
global $bp;

bp_core_new_nav_default ( array( ‘subnav_slug’ => ‘notifications’, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_notification_settings’ ) );
}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘settings_default_subnav’);

Any thoughts on why this wouldn’t work?

Notes:
We tried this with various priority settings, and in both bp-custom.php and functions.php – but it just seems to be ignored.
Is bp_setup_nav the right action to hook onto?

@rogercoathup https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php

the bad way – change `’position’ => 20, to ‘position’ => 10,` and vise versa in core lines 21 and 22

or an easy way

`remove_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_core_add_settings_nav’ );

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_core_roger_settings_nav’ );
funtion bp_core_roger_settings_nav() {
global $bp;
// the stuff
}

looking for the best way

@mercime – yes, we had already had to adopt the solution of writing our own version of bp_core_add_settings_nav() – similarly to your suggestion.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t answer why bp_core_new_nav_default() doesn’t work with the settings menu.

I ran into this same issue trying to default the Settings nav entry to the Notifications subnav. Seems like a bug.
