Add this to bp-custom.php and give a try ! Should show at the left of the logout button on Buddy theme nav bar

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu) {  

$url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';   
       // condition: user must be loggedin
        if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
        else
                $notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notif ['. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .']</a></li>';
				
                $menu = $menu . $notif;
                return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_notif_counter' );

Yes you can, but why would you do that as all those counters are already in the user menu (on top right, under Howdy) and on each profile ? Tsssss…., but you’re the boss ! 😉

To count friends use friends_get_friend_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
To count messages use bp_get_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() )

Complete solution

function my_counter_nav_menu($menu) {  

$notif_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';
$friends_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'friends/'; 
$msg_url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'messages/';    
      
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $notif = '

<li><a href=" ' .$notif_url. ' ">Notif ['. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .']</a></li>
<li><a href=" ' .$friends_url. ' ">Friends ['. friends_get_friend_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .']</a></li> 
<li><a href=" ' .$msg_url. ' ">Messages ['.  bp_get_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .']</a></li>

';
				
    $menu = $menu . $notif;
    return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_counter_nav_menu' );

Bu yardım olabilir ! 😉

I tested the snippet on Buddy theme, so i’m pretty sure you have a user menu. This menu is on WP’s Toolbar. You see it when you’re logged in.

To choose an item position, you have to do it differently, as explained here:

[Resolved] Position Notification Counter Bubble after Specific Navigation Tab ID

For more about menu handling and functions, see WP Codex, as this is not really related to BuddyPress. Now it’s your turn to work a little !

I just tried your function and its working fine but the only problem is that its adding menu items in all wordpress menus.

Is there anyway to add only in a specific menu instead of all menus?

Tesekkurler!
