Hi

I am trying to change my group tab slugs at:

http://tradr.co/groups/test-group-1/

I have a discussions tab. I figured out how to change the name in my themes functions.php

But I cant change the slug?

ATTEMPT 1

in wp-config.php
define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );
change to discussions no good

ATTEMPT 2
in bp-custom.php in plugins folder…
define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );
no good.

ATTEMPT 3
in themes functions.php
$bp->bp_options_nav = ‘discussions’;
no good

This tutorial about changing slugs did not work.
http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

I have not attempted changing the language file… surely, this should not be that hard…

Which theme are you using? Does it work (with attempt one) if you switch to no-default theme?

If not, did you cut and paste the line? You may have incorrect type of quotes. Try typing line from scratch in editor

Bp-default .. Not no-default! Auto-correct spelling!

Added this to wp-config.php whilst using bp-default

// Custom Buddypress slugs
define( ‘BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG’, ‘activate’ );
define( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘activity’ );
define( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘shops’ );
define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );
define( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘friends’ );
define( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘groups’ );
define( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘members’ );
define( ‘BP_MESSAGES_SLUG’, ‘messages’ );
define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘register’ );
define( ‘BP_SEARCH_SLUG’, ‘search’ );
define( ‘BP_SETTINGS_SLUG’, ‘settings’ );
define( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘profile’ );

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

that did not work

[@johnnymestizo Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

created a bp-custom.php and put it in wp-content/plugins

added this within php tags

// Custom Buddypress Stuff

// Custom Buddypress slugs
define( ‘BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG’, ‘activate’ );
define( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘activity’ );
define( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘shops’ );
define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );
define( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘friends’ );
define( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘groups’ );
define( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘members’ );
define( ‘BP_MESSAGES_SLUG’, ‘messages’ );
define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘register’ );
define( ‘BP_SEARCH_SLUG’, ‘search’ );
define( ‘BP_SETTINGS_SLUG’, ‘settings’ );
define( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘profile’ );

still no good

I don’t think you can easily change sub-nav items’ slugs in 1.2.9
