Add BuddyPress Profile Menu Item

1. Here’s an example of adding a menu items pointing to custom templates. If you want to link to existing BP elements, you’ll need to look up the appropriate action. Add this to functions.php:

   // Set up Cutsom BP navigation
   function my_setup_nav() {
         global $bp;
   
         bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
               'name' => __( 'Item One', 'buddypress' ), 
               'slug' => 'my-item-one', 
               'position' => 30,
               'screen_function' => 'my_item_one_template', 
         ) );
   
         bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
               'name' => __( 'Item Two', 'buddypress' ),
               'slug' => 'my-item-two',
               'position' => 20,
               'screen_function' => 'my_item_two_template' 
         ) );
   
         // Change the order of menu items
         $bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 100;
   
         // Remove a menu item
         $bp->bp_nav['activity'] = false;
   
         // Change name of menu item
         $bp->bp_nav['groups']['name'] = ‘community’;
   }
   
   add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav' );
   
   
   // Load a page template for your custom item. You'll need to have an item-one-template.php and item-two-template.php in your theme root.
   function my_item_one_template() {
         bp_core_load_template( 'item-one-template' );
   }
   
   function my_item_two_template() {
         bp_core_load_template( 'item-two-template' );
   }
   

   Hope that helps! More at this article on Themekraft.

2. Check out the BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin.

   You should be able to add tabs just by creating a regular WordPress menu.
