Hi!

My WordPress version is : 4.5.3
My BuddyPress version is : 2.6.1.1

I have been trying to find a way to change the names / text of at least 2 BuddyPress member profile menu items.

I want to change ‘Friends’ to ‘Connections’ and ‘Groups’ to ‘Clubs’.

I tried using poedit with the latest pot file from BP 2.6 and translated all occurrences of ‘Friends’ and ‘Groups’ but it is still not working.

All translations other than profile nav items are working fine. I also tried changing the language in WordPress settings, still no avail.

Kindly help me

Many thanks

Is your custom language file in the correct folder ?
wp-content/languages/buddypress/buddypress-en_US.mo

Could also be your theme who contains some BP elements ?

Or you can also try what is indicated here:

Thank you @danbp 🙂 Navigation API has helped me. Following code worked.
```
function bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs() {

buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Connections’, ‘textdomain’ ) ), ‘connections’ );
buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Clubs’, ‘textdomain’ ) ), ‘clubs’ );

}
add_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs’ );
```

Hello @danbp

Is there a way to change the sub slugs too? What I mean is, for example club settings (manage >> settings) has a URL – mysite-com/clubs/club-name/admin/group-settings/ I expect this to become mysite-com/clubs/club-name/admin/club-settings/

Thank you
