Change the name of menu/sub menus in wp admin bar dropdown

[Jonbie]

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 CODE

function 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”

Im getting a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in

[sharmstr]

Are you sure it was copied complete? I notice sometimes I dont get all the code when I copy from bbpress powered forums.

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’ );

[sharmstr]

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?

[sharmstr]

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’ );

[sharmstr]

Sorry, I meant ‘function’ not array. Its erroring because you calling the same function.

COPY CODE

function 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' );
