How to I edit the words “Activity” “Profile” “Blogs ( )” “Messages” etc… on a member’s profile page?

I can’t figure out where in the code change in my child theme.

Stick with language files:

They’ll do you good over the longhaul.

Thanks @r-a-y

My specific goal was to change “Blogs” to “Sites”.

I made the slug change per the page and sure enough, the slug is now “sites”.

But the nav menu on the profile screen still says “Blogs”.

Any thoughts on where the code is to edit that nav menu is?

Thanks!

@gregfielding To change text strings (like the ones that populate the nav tabs) you’ll need to create a custom language file. See the “labels and messages” section of the page that r-a-y linked to. (It’s a bit of a pain to set up at first, but once it’s in place you’ll find that it’s a very powerful, future-proof way to customize your site.)
