WP/BP versions? What theme are you using – bp-default child theme or WP theme with BP Template Pack? What exactly do you want to do with the menu?

One way to change the menu links would be to hardcode the links you want there. This would mean copying the header.php file from bp-default theme into your child theme folder.

Another way is to set up a new custom menu which would involve creating a functions.php in your child theme and copying over the header.php from bp-default theme into your child theme folder. The following should help you get wp_nav_menu going in your theme http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

using bp 1.5 default with child theme, wp 3.2.1

How about the following (in the header?) instead of what’s there (bp 1.5.1)
`// https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( 0 == $current_user->ID ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
// Not logged in.
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
// Logged in.
}
`
? (wrapped in “ tags)

Actually I think it should, but I didn’t try it as I was already experimenting with the above for a non bp site and tried it out on a bp test site and it worked.

I quite like this approach because you could also use the data (see link) to do other things as well…..

I’m using a customised bp-columns, which is mostly the same as bp-default.

I would just replace
`wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) );`
which begins and ends with php tags with the above also wrapped in php tags….

the mobile angle is something else…

It would help if you had a test site to try it out on, ie: localhost or a subdomain…

just realized I’ll have to make up a third theme location to pull this one off when does the editing ever end lol

single menu..?

I really think I gotta create the third theme location first, because the fall-back call will end up showing logged-out visitors my mobile menu which is a duplicate of the primary location so in theory my menu tabs will still be on display

I’m not sure what you mean – but according to https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu you could have ` ‘fallback_cb’ => false,`

I don’t know how you are doing the mobile menu, but couldn’t you just have $current_user logged in and out mobile menus?

If someone can guess the page such as activity, then just hiding the menu won’t stop them getting in anyway.

so to clarify: in my header.php (child theme) replace..

wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) );

with:

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => false,
}
?>

I’ve just checked my header.php and it appears to be worded slightly differently actually..? for example:

false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>

many thanks @aces !!
respect man

I haven’t tried it yet as I wanted to see if there was an alternative way of backing up just the file/s I am working on, in the past, I’ve encountered site breaks during custom, and have developed a bad habit of doing full cpanel backups following these breaks. This has led to me losing several new member registrations on my site.

Is there an alternative method I can adopt – i.e. doing a copy of file first and saving it to a backup folder for instance, so that if something goes wrong I can just replace the file instead of restoring the whole public_html directory?

excuse my lack of back-ticks, it’s been a while..I’m a bit rusty lol

Thanks for that!

I just deleted the bp-mobile plugin due to technical problems and I’m back with just a single menu now..? (primary) seems like bp-mobile creates a secondary theme location. I guess I could just use the plugin to create the secondary location / menu and choose my custom logged-out menu from the drop down right?
