I have added buddypress to a wordpress theme and would like to add the buddpress links to the custom menu in the usual way of adding links to a menu, from the dashboard. But as the URI contains the name of the logged in user this does not seem possible – or is it?

This is not possible. I created a profile menu plugin. search WordPress.org for it

Hi @modemlooper – I had come across your plug-in – maybe you can help me because I am not using the default theme so the buddypress menu isn’t there. Instead I have a jquery mega menu and I’d love to add the profile menu items to this. That would be ideal. Do you think this is possible?

[modemlooper]

It’s possible.

@modemlooper : Great! If you have any spare time I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance here.

Hello.

I have a Buddypress site using buddypress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0.2, and WordPress 3.2.1.
I am hosting our site on Godaddy. The main files of WordPress are sitting the site’s root directory as to avoid the “/WordPress” in our url.

Anyway my issue is this: we are using the Default bp theme. I know you are supposed to create a child theme to make changes to the theme, so I am trying to find the code of file where I can add a “tab” at the top of the page under the heading along with “Home”, “Forum”, “Groups”, “Members”, that would be titled, “About”. I want there to just be an “About” tab next to the home tab. If I have to make a child theme, where would I make this change OR should I just make a stick post?

@brotherkomrade9 in the admin, go to appearance > menus and create a custom menu.

I also found a really nice plugin here that seems to do the job. Is that the one you’re referring to?
