Are you using `bp_core_new_nav_item` ?
If you set the position to any value less than 10, it should work since Activity’s position is 10.
`
bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
‘name’ => ‘Your Item’,
‘slug’ => ‘yourslug’,
‘position’ => 9, // Activity is 10, so any value lower than 10 should work
‘screen_function’ => ‘your_screen_function’,
‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘your_default_subnav_slug’,
) );
`
I finally figured it out (took way too long).
Here are the code snippets to be placed in bp-custom.php (NOT functions.php, my fatal hair-tearing mistake).
`
/** wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php **/
function my_change_activity_default_subnav() {
global $bp;
if (bp_is_my_profile()) {
bp_core_new_nav_default(array( ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->activity->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_activity_screen_friends’, ‘subnav_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug));
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_change_activity_default_subnav’ );
function my_change_activity_subnav_sequence() {
global $bp;
if (bp_is_my_profile()) {
// flip just-me and friends positions
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’20’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’10’;
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_activity_setup_nav’, ‘my_change_activity_subnav_sequence’ );
`
