BuddyPress.org

Hi,
I want to change some of the titles in the navigation bar in Buddypress and I am not being successful.
I have checked the Buddypress Codex and used the method suggested there.

I created a bp-custom.php file in the wp-content/plugins folder for my site and added the following code

define ( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘Activity’ );
define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘News’ );
define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘Members’ );
define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘Friends’ );
define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘Marketplace’ );
define ( ‘BP_MESSAGES_SLUG’, ‘notes’ );
define ( ‘BP_WIRE_SLUG’, ‘pinboard’ );
define ( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘info’ );

…but the titles in the navigation bar did not change. ( n.b. I added PHP tags for the code in the bp-custom.php file)

I searched through the forums and placed the definitions in the wp-config.php file as this seemed to work for some.
Still no change with the titles in the navigation bar.

I have tried in Chrome and Firefox after flushing the cache just in case but no change.

Kind of stumped so if anyone has any thoughts these would be gratefully received.
