You’ll want to take a look at the bp_get_displayed_user_nav() function.

There’s a filter there that applies to each menu item, which you can hook into and override.

Ok, this forum post goes into adding and removing here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav/

This is a great post but what about moving sub links to a new parent item, this kinda works but if I remove the parent item the function stops. in my themes functions.php

`function remove_blogs_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘invite-anyone’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_blogs_nav’, 15 );

function bp_add_create_group_subnav() {
global $bp;
$groups_link = ‘/groups-2/’;
$settings_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain ;

/* Add the subnav items to the groups nav item */
if (function_exists(‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’)) {
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Create Clan’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘create’,
‘parent_url’ => $groups_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_home’,
‘position’ => 40,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘home’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Settings’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘settings’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-settings’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-settings’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Privacy’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘privacy’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-privacy’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-privacy’ ) );

}
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_add_create_group_subnav’);
`
If I comment out :
`// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );`

The sub links are in the Profile item, and functional, but still link to each original man item.

thanks Boone you are a lot of help

You’d need to get rid of `bp_get_displayed_user_nav()` and `bp_get_options_nav()` from your BP templates specifically in the /members/single/ folder of your theme.

p.s im quite noob in programming

Hi !
I want to do the same thing what you defunctlif but i have a problem. I created bp-custom.php file with your settings and put it in buddypress main directory and it doesn’t work should i put it somewhere else?

@r-a-y thanks…I’ve been doing alot of display:none! Lately.

@nahummadrid – This is a known bug. Using bp_core_remove_nav_item() will remove access to those pages as well. Right now, I’d suggest hiding the nav item via CSS or by hacking the $bp global to remove the item.

`function boone_remove_groups_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘groups’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_remove_groups_nav’, 15 );
`
When I put in functions it doesn’t work at all. The only way i get this to work is putting it in the BP-Custom but then it cuts off all access to groups and forum subpages….can’t figure why

I tried the solution posted here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav#post-71009 and it is not working for me. Is it possible that the code changed with the recent update (I think it was 1.2.?

I could really use some help here.

Thanks in advance.

Last year Boone’s code worked (I used it in bp-custom.php), now, after several BP upgrades, it generate error message.
Currently, I get erro of “in ……/plugins/invite-anyone/by-email/by-email.php on line 390”

@jordynn

To remove the notifications subnav item, add the following snippet to your functions.php file:

`function remove_notifications_subnav(){
global $bp;
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->settings->slug ) {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->settings->slug, ‘notifications’);
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘remove_notifications_subnav’, 2 );`

This is a simple function taken from this post by @mariochampion

@boonebgorges – given the bug fix / re-engineering is scheduled for 1.3, I’m guessing the best short term workaround is to hard code our own bespoke user nav

It is a bug, we have a ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2644

@youngmicroserf I’m having the same issue with the example that @mariochampion provided.

mariochampion or anyone else who knows; it would be very helpfull if you could tell what to change. I assume it’s the xprofile.php file we should copy and edit since I can’t find a file named xprofile-setting.php.

I’m bumping this because the @-mention above didn’t work, apparently.

@boonebgorges,

for some reason, your suggested solution doesn’t work. I suppose it has to do with the hook, but using bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’) doesn’t work at ‘bp_setup_nav’, while it does work at the point @mariochampion suggested.

Here’s a problem, though, in my installation, when I remove the nav link, I am no longer able to access group pages. I can access the group directory and groups will be displayed there, but clicking on a group will take me to the front page. Is this a bug? It seems like it, since the function is supposed to only remove the navigation item, not access to the feature, am I right? Or am I not getting something? Is there a better way to remove the navigation item?

Hmm. Is this the intended effect? I removed the “groups” element from the navigation bar on the profile using the bp_core_remove_nav_item-function, but after doing that I was no longer able to access any group and after directly entering the group’s URL I will be redirected to the homepage. Is there any way to remove items from the *navigation* but keep them available for direct access? Bizarrely, I am able to display the groups directory page when the bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’)-function is active, but not individual group homepages. Clicking on a group name will take me to the homepage.

Are there other options for menu item removal?

Thanks!

@Boone Gorges,

using bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ ) at bp_setup_nav didn’t work for me. But putting it in mariochampions function right after “global $bp” did – any idea why?

@mariochampion,

sorry, but I’m new to BP, and I can’t find the xprofile-settings.php you’re referring to above – could you give me a hand? Could you also indicate where you changed the slugs in the copied file?

Thanks!
