Hi, I’ve been searching all day and have not found a good tutorial on how to edit the Buddypress /WP admin toolbar in the top right-hand corner.
Is this the only tutorial available?

Modifying the Toolbar

I would like to change the labels for some of the menu items.
e.g. Forums to Discussions
Friends to Network
Groups to My Groups
Courses to My Courses

Thank you in advance if you’re able to guide me to a tutorial on how to do this using bp-custom.php or my child theme’s function.php

If you just want to change labels, you should use a language file.

Another approach, put in your bp-custom.php :
```
function sr_gettext_with_context( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {

     if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )
        return $translated;

     switch ( $text ) {
        
        case 'Friends':
            return 'Network';
            
        case 'Groups':
            return 'My Groups';            
            
        default:
            return $translated;
    }

    return $translated;
}
add_filter( 'gettext_with_context', 'sr_gettext_with_context', 51, 4 );
```

Thanks for this.

What is the easiest way to hide the Dashboard menu item from the Buddypress Toolbar? See sceenshot.

afaik, the Dashboard link is added by your theme.
You should ask BuddyBoss about it.
It probably is only visible to site admins.
