Global Change "Groups"

[hughm]

I would like to change the word “Groups” to “Clubs” on my site. I have created a new page called “Clubs” and pointed the Buddypress Groups page to it so that the URL and breadcrumb now appear as “Clubs”. I would like to know the best way to change the word “Group” to “Clubs” on the rest of my site.
There are some very old threads on Buddypress.org that suggest using the language translation file. Also I see a support thread on SweetDate to change the member profile Groups tab. Could you suggest the best practice to accomplish this?

I Want to do the Same, how to rename “Groups”?

One problem already with changing the name of Groups is that the breadcrumb link does not work properly and goes to a 404 page. Besides this issue the changes that I believe are required are changing “Group Directory” at the top of the Groups page and changing the profile tab for Groups on member profiles along with the “Groups 1 of 2” at the bottom of that tab.

Hi, Please replace this file content wp-content/themes/sweetdate/framework/functions/breadcrumb.php with this one to fix the breadcrumb problem: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/files/breadcrumb.txt

To change the word I think the best way is to use Translation method. Translate buddypress plugin in English using Codestyling Localization

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately I applied the new code to the breadcrumb.php file above and it did not fix the problem. When a user is on an individual groups page (renamed “clubs” and clicks on the breadcrumb for Clubs it still points to the old groups page. See for yourself:

hi @hughm
I just retested it and the breadcrumb takes the Groups page link so make sure to rename the Groups page and link

your pasted link isn’t right.. i see that this is a group page: http://uberon.net/groups/film-crew/
and you haven’t changed the page name and link

Hi Abe,
I decided to go back to using “Groups” because I couldn’t get it to work and it wasn’t worth the bother. So yes the link now is set to Groups. Thanks anyway.
