I am using buddypress for a social media site.

I have create an xprofile field called “About”, and also added a new tab in the buddypress pages using the following code.

function custom_setup_nav() {
  global $bp;

  bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
        'name' => __( 'About', 'buddypress' ), 
        'slug' => 'about', 
        'position' => 30, 
        'screen_function' => 'about_page'
  ) );
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'custom_setup_nav' );

Now I have created an about page and named it about.php and uploaded it to /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single

And then added the following screen function

function about_page() {
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/about' ) );
}

Now when I go to about page, I always get the members page displayed there, the page where the list of members are displayed and not the custom about.php page that I have uploaded, although the url remains the same, members/username/about/

Is there something I am missing out on ?

Thanks.
