I know this is an old topic, but its in the top results of Google when trying to find a solution for this.

So, to help save other people time (who land on this page when Google’ing this situation) here’s the fastest fix I’ve come across so far.

Create a file called “bp_custom.php”.

In it add:

function bbg_change_tabs() {

global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Profile Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Activity Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Friends Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Groups Verbiage’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_tabs’, 999 );

Replace the “New W/e Verbiage” with what you want it to say.
Double check that BuddyPress forums didn’t change any foot marks to apostrophes.
Save bp_custom.php and upload the file to /wp-contents/plugins/

Refresh your page to see if it worked.

So far it works for me just fine.

After a little more research I found a premium plugin that offers some of what I’m looking for:

Figured I’d share, but I’m still open to other options if anyone finds any.
