    Hi: I installed the very latest of MU and Bpress. I am putting together a network of political and business analysts and would like to replace some basic terms like Member into Analyst and Group into Topic. Particularily in top navigation menu. WHich file contains those terms that I could change, and is it risky to do it?

    Many thanks

    You can go into the header.php file in your template and do it in there

    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

    You can change _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' )

    to _e( 'Analyists', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Analysts', 'buddypress' )

    I would recommend you create a child theme (see https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/), copy header.php into it and make your change there.

    What you are truly asking is, “How can I customize the BuddyPress slugs?” Well, there is a BP blog article that answers that question!

    That is a good option though one that is perhaps a bit more technical to do, which some users may have trouble with.

    I would imagine you’ll want to change a bit of the wording too- easiest way to do that is to make a language file, if you have a mac I would suggest getting PoEdit, it’s a free little app that really takes the pain out of it…

    If you have a PC, go here: http://apple.com

    They do make PoEdit for PC as well, you know?
