How can I add a menu item to the bp profile menu that links to the members page

[970]

Hi, I’d like to add a menu item that links to the members page to the buddypress profile menu. Is it possible to do this? I’m able to apply custom code to the theme if needed. I’m a developer using your theme to build a social network for a private school.

I have been searching for the bp_get_displayed_user_nav() function within the theme but I can’t find it or can’t seem to figure out how to customize it.

I have actually done that. I tried both adding a custom link and added the members page to my menu.

I apologize as I may not have explained this very well. I am using the BP custom profile menu plugin to add extra menu items to the BP profile menu. When I added a custom link to that menu the url/slug is incorrect. Instead of linking to the members page like so /members the url is /members/username/members. It seems that the links within the BP profile menu always have /members/username added to the url.

I need to add several custom menu items to the BP profile menu and some need to link to a page outside of the BP profile and some need to stay within the BP profile, which some do currently.

If you look at the attached screenshot you’ll see that I do have custom menu items added. I just need to have them link differently.

Can you tell me if there are any custom functions or custom menu setups within your theme and where I can find them? I can create my own customizations but I don’t want to if the theme already has some customizations setup already.

Hi,

I think these can solve your problems

so practically create custom menus and inside a href url put your desired variables

Let me know

That didn’t work for me. I will explain again.

I need to have a link in the BP profile menu that has a url of /members in my case /students

I tried using ##members_link## and ##members##

Hi,

Use like this

http://yourdomain.com/stundets/##member_name##

That links to a specific user, still not what Im trying to do.

What part do you not understand about what I’m explaining to you?

I need to link to the ALL MEMBERS page from the buddypress profile. When I add a custom link to the menu as /members it links to /members/username/members not /members

Are you even reading what i’m putting in these comments?

[Radu]

Yes,

Why don’t you provide a screenshot where you want to have that link ?

What BuddyPress menu because in the profile menu are 2 menus…

A photo makes with 10000 words so next time provides and a screenshot that points out where you need the modification for a better explanation

I wait for a photo to be accurate with the solution………
