Jessy, At the risk of showing how much of a novice I am, would you show me which line(s) are immediately above and below where I should put:
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav’, 5);
and also, where I should insert the entire: function bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav()
I think your solution will solve my default/current user profile sub navigation problem.
Currently, when I select my picture, username, Edit My Profile, or Profile -> Edit, it default to the BP Group page.
If you think your solution is NOT the answer, I’d appreciate your advice/guidance.

Your thinking is on the right way. 🙂
Go to plugins directory and create file: bp-custom.php and the whole code just paste there and wrap it all by php tags: <?php ?>
You can share your nice website, if you like 🙂
I have to do the file creation with Notepad, then FTP the file into BP.
Is this correct? directory and filename: buddypress/bp-core/bp-custom.php
<?php
function bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav() {
if ( bp_is_user_settings() ) {
global $bp;
$args = array(
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->settings->slug, // Slug of the parent
‘subnav_slug’ => ‘profile’, // The slug of the subnav item to select when clicked
);
bp_core_new_nav_default($args);
}
}
?>
where do I put?:
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav’, 5);
Directory: wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php
Paste there this code, everything, just like it is:
function bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav() {
if ( bp_is_user_settings() ) {
global $bp;
$args = array(
'parent_slug' => $bp->settings->slug, // Slug of the parent
'subnav_slug' => 'profile', // The slug of the subnav item to select when clicked
);
bp_core_new_nav_default($args);
}
}
// Change default sub navigation of profile settings main tab navigation
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_change_default_profile_sub_nav', 5);
I put the code named bp-custom.php, with <?php above the function statement and ?> below the add_action statement, in the directory wp-content/plugins/. There was no improvement, so I changed its permissions from 644 to 755. No change. Next, I moved bp-custom.php into the directory wp-content/plugins/buddypress with the 755 permissions. Still no improvement. I am beginning to think my BP directory/sub-directories, etc. are not what they should be.
I think I need to completely remove BP and all the local/user webpages I’ve created, read through the installation instructions again, then re-install. Let me do this, then get back to you if necessary. garyc
Paste “add_action statement” also to the same place within your <?php ?> tags, otherwise it will no work.
