I added these functions as described, but neither had any effect in my theme. Is there something else missing?

Ok… I cut and pasted the code, and that had introduced some control characters that messed everything up.

However, the routine to change the tab order is not working for me… I went for the following:

function ka_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 50;
$bp->bp_nav = 60;
$bp->bp_nav = 70;
}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘ka_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );

But, that results in some strange markup being created:

A new tab is displayed at the start with no content –
[li id=”-personal-li”]
[a id=”user-” href][/a]
[/li]

and the profile and messages tabs are not in the right order. I get the following rendered:

nonsense (see above) – messages – profile – activity – groups – following – settings

just tested and it works for me – but when copy/pasting from this site you get curly quotes, make sure to replace those.

@nuprn1 @hnla – Ok, I’ve found the problem, or perhaps the bug in BP (I suspect this belongs in the trac)… OR, perhaps this is correct behaviour??

We’d renamed the XPROFILE_SLUG:

define(‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘account’);

If I remove this definition, the routine to setup the nav works fine.

Or, if I use $bp->bp_nav = 20; instead of $bp->bp_nav = 20; it works fine.

I guess bp_core isn’t taking into account changes to the xprofile slug, and that is stopping re-assignments of the nav order for the ‘profile’ tab from working

correct behavior – the slug is used as the nav id

$bp->profile->slug = BP_XPROFILE_SLUG;

/* Add ‘Profile’ to the main navigation */
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Profile’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => $bp->profile->slug, ‘position’ => 20, ‘screen_function’ => ‘xprofile_screen_display_profile’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘public’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->profile->id ) );

@nuprn1 have you any notion of why the constant definition causes an issue? or indeed why it’s required?

Yes I’m aware of the issue with incorrect back ticks for quotes as It’s arisen all too often recently and why I asked whether you had copy and pasted; still, doesn’t explain why the Constant didn’t work for me , will have to look again. yep me being dumb

I have no luck in changing the default to profile… despite having never changed the slug… I can change the order just fine, but the second I put the snippet in wp-config the base user profile (which default goes to activity) doesn’t work and goes to home page.

crap.

Nice, works fine for me. Using this in ‘/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php’:

`define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);`

Found solution on my buddypress site – This drove me crazy .. My clients wanted ‘Profile’ to show first when their link was clicked on. OK, makes sense for this site.
1. Did not work: This method broke my buddydress theme in IE (but not Mozilla) – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’); ‘ to bp-custom.php and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins. .. useless for me.
2. Worked – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);’ to my wp-config.php file (up top, above – ‘// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //’) – UREEKA BABY!!
I’m using buddypress 1.2.7 , buddydress themes and wordpress 3.0.4 – Hope this helps someone..

Hey guys-hoping you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong…if I can’t hide or remove the “community” tab then it would seem to be a pretty simple concept to change the order of the tab, but no luck with the above…not that php or css savvy but the instructions here are pretty straightforward so any help is appreciated!

Using latest wordpress version and just installed buddypress yesterday so I would assume it is also the latest version.

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

I added the line `define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘preferred_default_tab’ ); to wp-config.php above ‘//MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host **//`

Created bp-custom.php in plugins folder and added

`function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );`

Unfortunately all this has done is add the above line of code to the header of my site…can anyone help me figure this out??! Seems like it should be very simple. Ideally I want to have see the community tab go away and have the members section contain the buddypress activity, groups, forums, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

Use
`$bp->bp_options_nav = ’30’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = false;`
