Hi,
I would like to change the default name of some of the menu/sub menu items in the wp admin bar (profile to Bio, change avatar to change profile pic etc) I have manged to change the name of the items in the main menu area but i am unable to figure out how to do it for the menu items in the wp admin bar dropdown,
This is not a theme function. You’ll either have to find a plugin that does it (I’m pretty sure there’s one) or you can do it in your childs function.php file

Thanks, I couldn’t find a plug-in as its the actual buddypress default menu labels i wanted to change but ill keep looking.
Unless I’m completely not understanding, the first code snippet in the link I sent you works like a charm.
COPY CODEfunction custom_adminbar_titles() { global $wp_admin_bar; $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 'id' => 'my-account-xprofile', 'title' => 'Bio', ) ); } add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_titles' );That code will change the “Profile” link to “Bio” located in the admin bar menu under “howdy, xxxx”

brilliant sharmstr, you were totally right! works perfect. Would i be able to trouble you for the “change avatar” title be changed to “Change Profile Picture”
function custom_adminbar_titles() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘id’ => ‘change-avatar’,
‘title’ => ‘Change Profile Picture’,
)
);
}
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, ‘custom_adminbar_titles’ );The id is my-account-xprofile-change-avatar
If you need to know any others, right click on it and inspect it. The id is everything after ‘wp-admin-‘

Thanks for that but it doesnt seem to let me use the code twice? it only change one or the other? it gives me a syntax error when i duplicate the code?
Any ideas?
Just add it to the array in the first one. You dont need to redo all the code.

This is the code i entered thats giving me the error?
function custom_adminbar_titles() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘id’ => ‘my-account-xprofile’,
‘title’ => ‘Bio’,
‘id’ => ‘my-account-xprofile-change-avatar’,
‘title’ => ‘Change Profile Picture’,
)
);
}
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, ‘custom_adminbar_titles’ );Sorry, I meant ‘function’ not array. Its erroring because you calling the same function.
COPY CODEfunction custom_adminbar_titles() { global $wp_admin_bar; $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 'id' => 'my-account-xprofile', 'title' => 'Bio', ) ); $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 'id' => 'my-account-xprofile-change-avatar', 'title' => 'Change Profile Picture', ) ); } add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_titles' );Hi there!!!
