BuddyPress.org

If you’re running WP3, go to “Appearance” > “Menus”. There, you can create menus with pages, custom links, or post categories.

If you want to modify an existing WP theme for BuddyPress, you can download the BuddyPress template pack plugin and follow the instructions.

If your theme doesn’t support the new WP3 menus (i.e. most of them!), you can create a child theme, and code whatever menu system you like (probably in header.php)

I’ve noticed this problem too: The default BP theme doesn’t support WP3 menus. Surely this is an oversight?

===== TO SUPPORT WP 3 MENUS FOR BP 1.2.8 =====

1. Create a child theme of bp-default https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. Create a functions.php file in your child theme and add this:

`<?php

/* https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support#Navigation_Menus */

add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );

function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
‘primary-menu’ => __( ‘Primary Menu’ )
)
);
}

/* Removes ul class from wp_nav_menu */

function remove_ul ( $menu ){
return preg_replace( array( ‘#^

]*>#’, ‘#

$#’ ), ”, $menu );
}
add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu’, ‘remove_ul’ );

?>`

3. Copy over header.php from bp-default theme and paste into child theme folder.

4. Replace line “ or the whole navigation block with code below:

`
false, ‘menu_class’ => ‘menu’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘display_home’ ) ); ?>

`

Adjust according to taste

Funny, I don’t recall putting a big all caps announcement about the WP 3.0 menu :0
@cupid4 yes, still looks good to go. Know that custom menus will be available in BP 1.3 bp-default.

@mercime okay, tried to edit the last post but everytime I click edit, it give me the page is not found, I’m updating to say I just found that BP 1.3(1.5) is out, so likely I will update to it, you said you will do that too in your comment under the announcement( that wasn’t stalking! :p ) so is there any other things to do than replacing the whole buddypress folder?

1.3’s pretty stable, however. Final release should be in a couple weeks
