This plugin was great I see the changes but still I can’t order some of the profile menu that I had installed.
@ansidious My condolences to the family and friends of the man who passed away. On BP 1.2,8 — bp-default theme, Lines 51 through 77 show the generated menu items in header.php file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php where the dev could have changed the slugs and other URL
@modemlooper Thank you for your immediate response, I too look forward to your plugin enhancements.

@modemlooper Awesome man I can’t wait!
@rogercoathup: Yes I am aware but there are things could be done with menus in BuddyPress. If you recall from the dev chats, we’re re-examining the entire menu area so anything should / can be considered.
@karmatosed – dynamic menu links is a generic WP issue, not something specific to BP
@modemlooper: Perhaps this can be raised while we’re reviewing menus? Or at least used as a test case when we have done that.

@modemlooper I here ya brother! Its a pain in the butt but we appreciate the heck out of you. Most of my sites depend on your work as well as my own. I am grateful for your contributions!

@modemlooper Thank you again! Will you please notify me when its available since the plugin search here is not functioning properly. A link to the WordPress repo will be appreciated! Thanks!
@artxx on the link to profile page, you add the code yourself https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/adding-dynamic-link-to-main-menu-item/
Or use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ if you’re using bp-default or child theme of the BP Default theme.
As for incorporating jQuery Edit in Place plugin with members’ profile pages, that’s beyond the scope of the forums. You’d either have to code it yourself and/or post it in jQuery forums or stackexchange.com where a volunteer may be available to assist you or hire a developer to do so.
Hi All, am having problem with users saying that they cannot create new groups. I logged in to site and created a group now problem. I then registered a new user, and logged in and tried to create a new group.. and what happens is when loading the first step, a browser alert box with nothing but the site url pops up and when you close it it redirects you to the the site landing page.
I am running WordPress 3.4.2 with BuddyPress 1.6.1 on multi site (this occurs on main site). Plugins that might have bearing here being BP Group Management and BP Group Hierarchy, also Membership Premium from WPMUDEV,
All members are automatically assigned Subscriber status ( I tried Contributor as well) and assigned a “Free Membership” level in Membership Premium. I have checked and double checked all access rights to all pages and posts, menu’s etc and as a test gave registered members full access to every option in membership Premium, but that changed nothing
In BP Settings have enabled “Enable group creation for all users “, also set the amount of groups and forums a user can create to 3. “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums ” is ticked as ON and lastly in CubePoints set “Enter how many points a member must have before they have access to create a tribe.” to ….. and as i am typing this i realize, and i realize….. and yes, i set that down to zero and all works again, and i just obviously needed to talk to a few professionals …
thanks for listening
@bibliata I believe there’s a misunderstanding here. You should not be changing anything within the bp-default theme in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
If you want to revise the bp-default theme, you should create a child theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
BP Columns is already a child theme of bp-default theme. If you want to make any style changes in this child theme, the simplest thing to do there is add your new styles at the bottom of custom.css file and back it up since it will be overwritten when it’s upgraded. Or, you can create a new css file e.g. mystyles.css in BP Columns theme folder to add your new styles to, then open up style.css file and add
`@ import url( mystyles.css );`
under `@ import url( custom.css );`
(remove the space between @ and import when you do this)
If you’re using Firefox, install the Firebug add-on to help you ID what elements need to be changed.
And, as I’ve mentioned in the other post, you can use a WP theme which approximates the layout you need and install the BP Template Pack plugin. For reference, we have a list of “bp-template-packed” WP themes, free and premium @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
Wordpress 3.4.1 + buddypress 1.6.1 + bbpress 2.1.2
After change Mysql password and after change wp-config.php and bb-config.pbp with the new password i can’t open any page of my site. I can click on any voice of menu or in any discussion link but alwais come back on home page. The database connection work good because i can login me, i can disable all my plugin so the connection is good!
What i can do?
thank you
This lets you change the default tabs (tab that is open when clicking on a profile link etc.).

@modemlooper, the main top menu nav of my site, i want to use icon instead of word “Home”. i know i have to give it class before i can style it but i dont know which file i can find nav bar as it is not in the header.php
Regards
@RogerCoathup, i have no problem with the css aspect of it, but i need to give the link a class to be able to style it . because its part of WP Nav. see below
`
false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>
`
== and now our menu bar has disappeared altogether ==
@stuart-elliott is this happening for logged-in/logged-out users?
Some thoughts:
– Go to Settings > BuddyPress -> Settings -> Main Settings and make sure that you have checked ” Show the Toolbar for logged out users “
– Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved. If so, it’s very likely a theme issue. Know that Themekraft will be updating the Custom Community theme next week if not sooner.

@modemlooper lol! I should know this already! I have your awesome plugin installed on multiple localhost testing sites. Thanks for the reminder!

Software used: WordPress 3.4.1 and BuddyPress 1.6
I picked up the below code from the forum to make the default tab selected the profile tab and to also change the order of the items in the profile navigation, I added it to my child themes functions.php. It works except when you go to edit profile it spits out this error:
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-template.php on line 787
Here is the code I used:
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); /* makes the default tab selected the profile tab */
/* Changes profile nav order */
function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
$bp->bp_nav = 50;
$bp->bp_nav = 60;
$bp->bp_nav = 70;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );
/*end changes profile nav order*/
Any ideas how to resolve this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
If you want to change text you can fairly easily using this method outlined in the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
I want to change some of the labels on the “My Account” menu such as “Groups” to “Our Groups”. Can anyone help. Is there a plugin for this. I’ve been searching but cant find.
== hanging the name of the Register page in wp-config.php ==
@falcott that’s no longer needed with this version.
1. Delete the code to change register name in wp-config.php
2. Create a new page with the name/slug of the register page e.g. Join
3. Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and look for the “Register” line and choose the Join page in select dropdown and save.
4. Go to yoursite.com/join to check.
