Changing navigation text

[guy_fraser]

I read somewhere that it’s possible to use functions.php (or something like that) to alter navigation text, but I’m struggling to find details on it. If I understand correctly, I can create a functions.php in the child theme, put some code in there to change things, and that will remain intact should I update the theme or other plugins…?

For example, on a member profile page, if I want to change “Profile” tab to “About Me”, is it possible for me to do that via some code in functions.php? And similarly, can I change breadcrumb trail and page titles of certain feature pages?

You must create a bp-custom.php file and place it in the plugins folder.

COPY CODE

<?php
define( 'BP_SETTINGS_SLUG', 'configuracion' );
define( 'BP_XPROFILE_SLUG', 'perfil' );
define( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'actividad' );
define( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'contactos' );
define( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', 'grupos' );
define( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'foros' );
define( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'mensajes' );
define( 'BP_NOTIFICATIONS_SLUG', 'notificaciones' );
?>

In the example I changed the default to Spanish slugs

Hi, by using the child theme and adding code to functions.php you won’t loose your changes on theme updates.

I was hoping to use something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ for changing locale text but unfortunately it’s broken on WP 3.9.

Looks like there will be a new plugin appearing in coming weeks to help with changing / reordering the menu items (sections) in profile/groups pages. Will report back once available 🙂
