BuddyPress.org

There are a number of plugins in the WP plugin repo which could change what shows up in the admin toolbar. For BP-specific nav links, check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

@seriousdon you’d need another forward slash in front of your comment before the code like so http://pastebin.com/HSpJNLyV

In order to place the dynamic profile link at the beginning of the menu change this following line from
$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
to
$menu = $profilelink . $menu;

This link offers an alternate solution: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/35163/add-buddypress-profile-and-messages-link-to-wordpress-menu

You might also look into custom walkers for the WordPress menu.

How can I hide this menu item for users who are logged in only as it does not show up in the menus under Appearance.

@voopress The code above shows the link only for logged in users. The link won’t show up if they’re not logged in. Why would you want to “hide this menu item for users who are logged in only”?

instead of hacking the php file

There’s no hacking being done here 🙂 You’re legitimately adding a filter to include the dynamic link to the menu. You can change the markup in the code posted just so those additional class/es would match those of the IfMenu’s. I’m not aware of any menu plugin which allows you to add a dynamic link.

I am just using BP’s default.css to make changes, and I dont see any of those lines in that file.

@shripad first, do not make your changes in BP’s default.css file as it would be overwritten when you upgrade your BuddyPress plugin. You should create a child theme of BP Default theme instead and just make the changes in your child theme’s stylesheet. Or use a WP theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to make BP templates compatible with your theme. Or, wait for BP 1.7 where BP templates will automagically be included in your WP theme.

As for the responsive styles, they are not in default.css file but in the responsive.css file I linked to above. You’d find it in the same folder where default.css is located.

Then you just have to override that in your child theme. BP Default’s responsive.css https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css

See line 211 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L210 where it expands #nav li to 100% of containing div. If you’re going to remove or change that, you’d need to work on for the #nav li which is set at 46% of container on line #43 of same file.

What dropdown menu? I don’t see any at this time. Changed themes/menu perhaps.

Site could be considered NSFW.

…depends where you work…  😉

Compared to some help requests I’ve answered, this site’s rather tame.

@jidanni

CSS design is a very complicated subject. The base BP theme’s CSS file is almost 2,500 lines long and has a vast and intricate style tree. Answering a RFC (request for comments) on a given set of changes to it  is many hours of work, and is beyond what can be handled on these forums.

If you have a specific problem, eg: “When I set style X to Y, the level 2 menus explode” or “How can I invert the color scheme”, the users here will be happy to help you.

Also, be aware there are sweeping changes in the works for BuddyPress’ template system. The core development team is currently re-designing the entire template system to use page-fragment injection. In theory, this will allow BuddyPress to use almost any WordPress template set – not just ones designed specifically for BuddyPress.

I’d estimate they’re about 6 months away from release on this.

buddypress 2012 change nav order members menu and submenu. No fuzz and works in buddypress 6.1 version. Thanks !
$bp->bp_nav = ’10’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’30’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = false;

The easiest way to get rid of the tabs is to simply “display: none;” using CSS.

Alternatively, you can hook into “bp_setup_nav” like this: http://www.themightymo.com/2012/01/26/how-to-add-remove-and-change-the-order-of-buddypress-component-menu/

@buddhatunes the “blogs” page with regards to BP is the Blogs Directory page which only shows up if you have gone multisite (created a network). Unless you’re referring to something else entirely ….

If it’s just the link at the menu item, you can just edit the page name and slug in page edit panel, then go to Settings> Pages and choose the new blog menu name from select box and click on Save. You know you’d also have to change title of the Blogs Directory page in yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/blogs/index.php in this line

Sean,

I have a very similar question to yours — I’m trying to modify the order of the tabs in the Groups navigation, rename some of them, and get rid of some of them. I, too, am running BP 1.6.1.

I can help in one respect — you need to enclose the code in your bp-custom.php file in the php brackets:
<?php

YOUR CODE

?>

In the meantime, I would appreciate (from anyone) help with these customizations of the BP menus. Did something change in 1.6 to affect this? Much of the help out there concerns v1.5.

Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Best way is to use a language file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@naijaping On second thought I do like what I see in your approach better than the drop down menu I have. So I am interest in the code. From what I can tell it seems like you have everything in in your header.php file. I would like to do this with maybe a few changes in styling. Let me know when you have the code here. Thanks!
Edit:
It would also be helpful if you can share where in the header.php file that the code needs to be placed. Thanks again!

Hi I have the same problem,

When I try to click ‘Activity’ ‘Members’ or ‘Groups’ on my menu, it says ‘profile.php’ can not be found on my server. However if I add a ‘/’ to the end of the link or if I click on the pages elsewhere, it works fine. I’m not sure how to fix it on my main menu though.

I have re-installed BuddyPress and WordPress already and nothing changed.

Can someone please help?

My website is http://www.fosterfriends.org

@naijaping i must admit im blown away with your customisations on that link, how have you done it i would love to see some tutorials as ive been failing with buddypress since i installed it

heres what im trying to change so any help would be awesome

– Buddypress links ie profile settings etc on my own toolbar
– 100×100 user avatar on my header which when clicked goes to users profile page
– Fix spacing problems on buddypress members menu
– On profile & group pages i would like to add a widget space on the right hand side of the avatar and recent update message
– I use custom post types i. reviews, videos and articles i would love to add these on the profile page menu so it shows what they have been the author of
– i would also love to allow each group to have a about page with an option to add thier own facebook,twitter,google+1,YouTube and Email stuff to show up as default icons

I now its kinda cheeky but any help would be truely amazing, also what plugins do you use with buddypress, im gonna go now an try and add this notifications code

I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.

I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.

Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .

If it’s tabs added to plugins there isn’t that option yet. I’m going to add that option later.

If you dont want to wait you can add this code:

`$bp->bp_nav = 100;`

if you have say the BP Album+ plugin and want to change it’s position just change ‘put label name here’ to Album. Then choose a number. I have placed labels at 10 increments. So position 1 is 10 2 is 20. You could place the Album tab at 25 and it would be in-between tab 2 and 3
