Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.

Want to change the default BuddyPress “Activity” (activity stream) to “Dashboard”, or “The Activity Center”, or anything other than “Activity”?

Here is how:

• Create wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, and put the following:

  // change BP /activity/ slug to /dashboard/
  define( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'dashboard' );
  
  // Change the name for the "Activity" tab to "Dashboard", 
  // and reference the newly defined slug /dashboard/
  function bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs() {
      // Change "Activity" to "Dashboard"
      buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'Dashboard', 'textdomain' ) ), 'dashboard' );
  }
  add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs' );
