Change Blogs to Network in Menu
-
Hi, I use a theme that has a menu drop down page called ‘Blogs’. How can I change ‘Blogs’ to ‘Network’?
site is http://buddha.fm
-
I already have a bp-custom.php in my plugins directory
Best way is to use a language file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
I checked it out, and it looks problematic for me. Especially having to update the .pot file every time buddypress updates. Any other suggestions that might be a little easier?
What theme are you using?
WPMU Network
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
The ‘blogs’ page does not show in menus or pages because it is a buddypress page. I looked at the link and it is unclear to me what you are referencing. The window opens on line 21 but I am not certain what you are pointing at.
@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 ….
Ok, decided to download poedit and create a .po and .mo file, then uploaded to root/wp-content/languages/…
The .po file automatically created a .mo file upon close, but the file size of the .mo is only 565 compared to 156,145 for the .po file – makes me think I did not generate correctly.
Also, changed ‘blogs’ to ‘network’ in root/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/blogs/index.php on line 14 –
It looks like a lot of the language changes are there but the menu title is still the same – ‘Blogs’
== but the menu title is still the same – ‘Blogs’ ==
What theme are you using? Just to clarify which dropdown “menu” are you referring to – the one from the admin bar or in main navigation (where btw you can change the name blogs in Appearance > Menus if your theme supports custom menu)?
Network from WPMU, main navigation menu.
The problem with changing the name blogs in Appearance>Menus is that it is a Buddypress dropdown — under the title ‘Community’ with ‘Activity’, ‘Members’, ‘Groups’, & ‘Blogs’ underneath it.
The Buddypress drop down does not show in Appearance>Menus.
I don’t have a copy of the premium theme. If you also cannot change the menu generated in the theme’s header.php then you should contact theme developer/vendor to make the changes, probably in functions.php file.
ok, thanks for giving it a shot
Fyi, I finally figured out an easy solution. Use WPMU Ultimate Branding plugin. Go to Text Change and make local or network wide text change.
