Is there anyway to create a "wall" menu item so that user's can click on "wall" and go directly to their personal activity area (same as when you click on your name)?? Anyway to change the titles in the bp black box under the profile?

Hi mavellino,
I take it you're looking for a way to redirect to the member's profile page? I believe you can simply use something like the following in your theme's file (really depends on where you want it displayed). echo site_url() . bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );
To change anything in the BuddyPress pages, you'll likely have to change BuddyPress core files, though you could check your theme's files to see what you might be able to cover by way of simple changes there.

Hi David,
I am using the BP Corporate Theme (Child theme). Please let me know if I can link the member's activity wall (not profile) as a menu item. And can you rename it inside the bp menu under the profile picture?
Thanks,
Melinda

I actually want to add a menu item to my main nav in the bp dropdown menu I created so a user can click directly on a item called"wall" user's activity wall. Anyway to do this? Will bp updates stop this change from working?

What do you want the "wall" to be? Are you wanting it to be the activity page? or something like a facebook wall where people can post directly to the member?

yes. I want the wall to be the member's personal activity. I don't think members will realize that they have to click on their name to get to their own wall of activity

Hmm, so you are looking at adding a profile link to menu? That's what I'm getting from this.
As it stands, most links from around the site to a member's profile default to their individual activity stream (just the stuff they do). On my home page, I use Login with Ajax plugin which lets displays the member's avatar, and can be set to display a link to their profile (and thus, their own activity). Once they are logged in, it is pretty clear what the widget is for. This might be a solution to your problem.

It depends on your theme really.

What Ajax login plugin are you using? I will look at it and see if it helps my problem.
Thanks.

Doesn't say it is compatible with WP 3.2 and BP 1.2.9
