Hmm. Is this the intended effect? I removed the “groups” element from the navigation bar on the profile using the bp_core_remove_nav_item-function, but after doing that I was no longer able to access any group and after directly entering the group’s URL I will be redirected to the homepage. Is there any way to remove items from the *navigation* but keep them available for direct access? Bizarrely, I am able to display the groups directory page when the bp_core_remove_nav_item(‘groups’)-function is active, but not individual group homepages. Clicking on a group name will take me to the homepage.

Are there other options for menu item removal?

Thanks!

@youngmicroserf I’m having the same issue with the example that @mariochampion provided.

mariochampion or anyone else who knows; it would be very helpfull if you could tell what to change. I assume it’s the xprofile.php file we should copy and edit since I can’t find a file named xprofile-setting.php.

@boonebgorges – given the bug fix / re-engineering is scheduled for 1.3, I’m guessing the best short term workaround is to hard code our own bespoke user nav

I tried the solution posted here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-and-add-items-in-bp_get_displayed_user_nav#post-71009 and it is not working for me. Is it possible that the code changed with the recent update (I think it was 1.2.?

I could really use some help here.

Thanks in advance.

@nahummadrid – This is a known bug. Using bp_core_remove_nav_item() will remove access to those pages as well. Right now, I’d suggest hiding the nav item via CSS or by hacking the $bp global to remove the item.

This is a great post but what about moving sub links to a new parent item, this kinda works but if I remove the parent item the function stops. in my themes functions.php

`function remove_blogs_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘invite-anyone’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_blogs_nav’, 15 );

function bp_add_create_group_subnav() {
global $bp;
$groups_link = ‘/groups-2/’;
$settings_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain ;

/* Add the subnav items to the groups nav item */
if (function_exists(‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’)) {
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Create Clan’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘create’,
‘parent_url’ => $groups_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_home’,
‘position’ => 40,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘home’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Settings’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘settings’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-settings’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-settings’ ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Privacy’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘privacy’,
‘parent_url’ => $settings_link,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->profile->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘profile-privacy’,
‘position’ => 30,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘profile-privacy’ ) );

}
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_add_create_group_subnav’);
`
If I comment out :
`// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘privacy’ );
// bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘settings’ );`

The sub links are in the Profile item, and functional, but still link to each original man item.

thanks Boone you are a lot of help
