Hello,

I would like to make the following changes to the drop down menu that exists between the “Login” and “Sign Up” button.

1. I would like to add or remove items in the drop down

2. I would like to change the labels of the items in the drop down to different words

I looked in the Menus area of the WP dashboard, but didn’t see where I might make these changes.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thank you for the help!

Hi @laura,

Okay, I added the code as suggested and it crashed my whole site! Getting a bit frustrated.

Here’s the code and a snap shot of the editor AFTER putting it back to the way it was before adding the code. Even after deleting the new code, it does not work!
COPY CODE
```
add_filter('header_profile_dropdown', 'my_profile_link');
function my_profile_link($links) {
	$links[] = '<li><a href="http://mydomain.com/help" rel="nofollow">Help</a></li>';
	return $links;
}
```

Hi @laura,

Never mind. It wasn’t the code that crashed the site. The plugin WP Rocket crashed the site. I disabled the plugin by renaming the folder and the code works. Do you know if there is a compatibility issue with the plugin?

Also, per your reply, I do not want to delete any of them, but I would like to rename some of them. Particularly:

Under the Profile Dropdown:

1. “Activity” to be change to “My Activity”. Otherwise there is confusion as to whether it means Sitewide Activity

2. “Groups” to be change to “My Groups.” For the same reasons.

Thanks for the help.

Hi @laura,

I’d like to add a couple more things:

1. Would it be possible to reorder the items in the drop down menu?

2. Would it be possible to create sub-menu items? Example:

My Classifieds > Place a classified
> Renew a classified
> Edit a classifed

As always, thank you for all your work!

Hello, right now thw submenu feature is not avaible, the reorder could by done by css maybe, what is the order that you want?
About the renames, you could use loco translator for that 🙂

Hi @laura

Loco Translate looks interesting, but after reviewing the plugin, I have a question.

I plan on making the website multilingual using something like WPML. If I use Loco Translate to do renames, will it affect or conflict with the ability for WPML (or a similar plugin) to do it’s job of translating those renames into other languages, on the site?

Hello, it wont affect at all 🙂 But i suggest to use q-translate x instead of WPML if you are a novice

One more thing. I forgot to answer your question…”the reorder could by done by css maybe, what is the order that you want?”

I want to put the “Settings” label at the bottom of the drop down menu. It’s much more intuitive for the user.

That’d be great! It’s on the DEV site right now, (which is coming along really well 🙂 ) so I’ll circle back with you when I upload it to the server. Maybe a week or two. Thanks Laura. Have a great weekend. 🙂

Hello Laura, I have the same problem to rename ‘Activity’ to ‘My Activity’. Can you please elaborate on to achieve this using loco translator? Any direct code we can use instead of a plugin?

Hello, just to to Loco Translator, Find your language at the theme and click it, now at the translation screen click SYNC and search for Activity, “translate” it to My Activity
Save, do this with any other plugin related to buddypress
