Hi,
I am trying to change the group forum slug. E.g.
from
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/forum’
to
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/discussion’

I am using this code:

function gi_rename_group_slug() {
  global $bp;		
  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['slug'] = 'discussion';
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'gi_rename_group_slug');

Unfortunately, nothing happens. What is the error? Thanks in advance.

silly question, but why not just change it in

Dashboard>settings>forums>etc.

and you are using a buddypress hook, not a bbpress one – bbpress is bbp_init and all your code refers to buddypress.

I think because “discussion” is dynamic.

If you find a solution, i take ! I need similare slug

@triixx – not sure what you are asking. The solution is listed in my response

Dashboard>settings>forums>etc.

That doesn’t work for my groups. It may work for the first level slug, but I don’t have a sitewide forum to verify. Thanks

sorry that sounds buddypress to me, so I’ll back out

Just a workaround:

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted

function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'x' ) {
	$translated_text = 'y';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

Give it a try only if you have slugs that are not ordinary words. Unfortunately I cannot use it for forum, since everytime a user writes “forum” it will be translated.
