Hello everyone 🙂  Thanks for takin the time to look this over.

I’ve been corresponding today with a lovely person in the buddypress.org forums who’s been so very helpful yet the last code suggestion he made relies on me finding out what the name of that top navigation (over the header) is called in the code.  He tells me to look in my functions.php file to find it, but there’s just about no code in that file lol.

Here’s the thread with him: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/url-for-menu-to-logged-in-users-profile-page/.  His code for adding “My Profile” worked like a charm EXCEPT it added it to EVERY menu lol.  So he wrote me up some new code that would put it only in the menu I want it in.

I can’t get it to work though.  When I do what he suggests in that post, all my menu’s disappear.  I tried to gain the name of that menu area from inspecting the element in firefox.  Didn’t work.

Is there maybe another way to do this? or does anyone have the answer to my conundrum?

Thanks tons!

Hi, I may have misunderstood the question, but if you are wanting logged in users to have their profile set as their default home page (as in Facebook) then I have used the ‘BP profile as homepage fork’ plugin. That way it does what it says: takes you to your profile automatically on log in and allows you to return to your profile at any time by pressing the home menu button.

oh no that’s not what i mean.  I mean, a “My Profile” link that leads to the logged in users profile.  Preferably I’d like to be able to have more control over where it is, but for now I can live with it plopping in at the end of the menu.  The one problem I have is this, the code the nice person in the buddypress forums gave me, puts “My Profile” in at the end of all of the navigation options (there are 4 spots considered navigation, and 3 of them are all surrounding the header so its 3 times in the header lol).

The correction code, no matter what I do because I don’t’ know where to find it in this theme, I can’t get it to work, it just deletes all menus altogether lol.

What you just suggested though is actually a rather brilliant suggestion!  I am going to give it some thought and might just do that 🙂  Sure would be great if it were easier huh? ha
