Hello,
I have been trying to change the tab ‘forum’ in groups. Not the slug, the name of it. I’d like “Forums” to read “Chapters”.
Here is the script I currently have on there.

function mb_profile_menu_tabs(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['name'] = 'Updates';
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['name'] = 'Books';
$bp->bp_nav['buddyblog']['name'] = 'Library';
$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['change-avatar']['name'] = 'Change Profile Picture';
$bp->bp_options_nav['buddyblog']['my-posts']['name'] = 'Library';
unset($bp->bp_nav['forums']);
unset($bp->bp_nav['groups']);
unset($bp->bp_nav['forums']);
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'buddyblog', 'edit' );
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_profile_menu_tabs', 201);
function change_profile_submenu_tabs(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['my-groups']['name'] = 'Authored & Edited Books';
$bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['invites']['name'] = 'Invites to be Editor';
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'change_profile_submenu_tabs', 999);
function jm_move_group_activity_tab() {
  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']['name'] = 'not working';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['name'] = 'Updates';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['members']['name'] = 'Editors';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['admin']['name'] = 'Details';
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['send-invites']['name'] = 'Invite Editors';
  }
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'jm_move_group_activity_tab', 999);
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'remove_group_unwanted_subnav_tab',500 );
 function remove_group_unwanted_subnav_tab() {

bp_core_remove_subnav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug(), 'admin' );
}

I have tried it on a clean install as well and nothing seems to work. $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['name'] = 'not working'; Should be the line which changes the name of “Forums” tab but nothing is happening. Is there any other function specifically for this tab?

probably more of a buddypress question – try their support forum

[peter-hamilton]

Have you looked into changing the .POT file?

[eVersatile]

I have asked in the buddypress forum and have not came up with an answer. Since bbPress is where the forum comes from I figured someone would be of better assistance here.
Yes, I have tried the .pot file and it had no effect.

since you are trying to change a function in buddypress viz ‘bp_setup_nav’ then logically it is buddypress.

Anyway try

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Forums' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Chapters';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

@robin-w thank you for you support and insight. After several weeks no one in the buddypress forums was able to figure this out. Though, your solution worked flawlessly; I hope this post helps others as well. Thank you for your time and effort.

Great – glad you’re fixed !
