Hi @sundev
Have you tried using bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'slug' )? There is also a function available in BP to remove sub-nav items bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'slug', 'subnav-slug' )
Thanks @Henry for your reply. It works for my subnavs but did not for the navs, perhaps, I don’t know how to apply it. I used:
//hide navs
function my_setup_nav(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[‘forums’]=false
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_setup_nav’, 1000);
it works and is hidded but I used with
// rename tabs
function mb_profile_menu_tabs(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘name’]=’Mails’;
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’,’mb_profile_menu_tabs’,201);
to rename some tabs and it worked as well but the counting bubble in the fronts disappeared and a small space is left before the activity tab. Could it be my functions that is causing extra space? how can I still retain those bubbles after renamed, Any idea please? Sorry for bothering you so much.
Thanks in anticipation.
For renaming things, the recommended practice is to use a language file:
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
If you make a lot of changes, you should use that approach.
The ‘counting bubble’ is filled using sprintf.
You’re missing that call from your change.
You could try
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['name']='Mails <span>%d</span>';
But I’d be surprised if it works.
Here’s another method, that you can paste in your functions.php:
function sundev_change_buddypress_profile_tabs( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain ) {
return $translated;
}
switch ( $original_text ) {
case 'Messages <span>%d</span>':
return 'Mails <span>%d</span>';
case 'Messages':
return 'Mails';
default:
return $translated;
}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sundev_change_buddypress_profile_tabs', 10, 3 );
Untested, but that should change the label in both a profile and the buddy-bar.
@shanebp just wondering, is there an advantage of filtering gettext over a introducing a language file and using Poedit? I was told recently using a language file isn’t a good idea. See here

@henrywright – Obmerk makes an excellent argument.
But whatever works for each person.
I like filtering gettext because it’s faster than the poedit dance.
@shanebp so does the language folder get overwritten on WP upgrade? If it does then get text is the way to go every time in my opinion. If it doesn’t then I can see no wrong in the use of a language file.
@Shanebp and @Henry thanks for the greate replys and info am giving language file a seriouse consideration after this adventure :).
@Shanebp thanks, the ‘<spand>%d</spand>’ brings back the bubbles but instead of figures this %d shown inside the bubble shape, any idea please?
I really appreciate you guys for your replies, Though I could not hide and link to as I thought I could, but have successfully removed both nav & sub-nav and I am satisfied. Thanks a lot, God bless you.
