Buddypress Naming

[lovewp]

How can I rename the default Buddypress labels? Example: “Forums” to “Discussions”

Thank you.

Hi, that is related to BuddyPress so you need to change those labels from the plugin. Try to search related resources, for example: http://blog.maximusbusiness.com/2013/04/bp-profile-nav-positions-names/#change-subnav-tab

Hi Abe,

That’s a great article that you shared the above link for, but i see that his code is a bit different to some recent code i was recommended for these sorts of edits in Buddypress.

In the code i used to reorganise my profile tabs i have:

COPY CODE

define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['position'] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav['notifications']['position'] = 60;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_change_profile_tab_order', 999 );

whereas his code is this:

COPY CODE

function mb_profile_menu_tabs(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 15;
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['name'] = 'Mail';
$bp->bp_nav['friends']['name'] = 'Contacts';
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['name'] = 'Account';
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_profile_menu_tabs', 201);

I suspect that some of this is now out of date due to the recent update to BuddyPress.

Could you confirm what the correct code is for:
1. reordering the BP profile tabs?
2. renaming the BP profile tabs?
3. renaming the BP sub-menu profile tabs?

Hope you can help, as it just seems an endless cycle of searching for this info with very little concrete answers available out there! if not, i understand – just if it’s at your fingertips, that would be great!

many thanks.

Yep those code should work from the link I posted. They take care of renaming and position. for renaming you can also try translating Buddypress, even though you are using English you are translating the strings into English 🙂 tricky

Hi Abe,

Thanks – I took the plunge and have gone down the route of editing the buddypress.po files. I’ve posted the whole process in this other thread for anyone else who’s looking for this: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/edit-text-in-profile-photo-upload-area#post-51297 . hope it helps?

Cheers,
