User Navigation

The user navigation is a special menu inside the header theme area.

Create a Menu

To use the menu, please do as follows:

1. Go to the WP Dashboard › Appearance › Menus
2. Create a new menu, call it e.g. UserNav
3. Add to the menu links from the BuddyPress Member panel:
   – Profile
   – Posts / Submissions / Votes / Collections (if Snax plugin active and respective components enabled)
   – Reactions (if What’s Your Reaction plugin active and respective components enabled)
   – Activity
   – Notifications
   – Settings
   – Log Out
    
   For that step, the BuddyPress plugin has to be activated. If you can’t see the BuddyPress Member panel on the left side, please open the Screen Options panel in the top right page corner and check that component.
4. Save Menu
5. Assign the UserNav menu to the User Navigation location in the WP Dashboard › Appearance › Menus › Manage Locations
6. Save Changes
