Add BuddyPress Create Group Button to User Profile Groups Page Navigation

I have seen too many people asking for it. Do you want to add a Create Group sub nav under your BuddyPresss Profile Group page? If yes, here goes the code.

/**
 * Add Create Group sub nav to User Profile->Groups screen
 */
function buddydev_custom_add_create_group_tab_to_profile_nav() {

	if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		return;
	}
	$slug        = bp_get_groups_slug();
	$access      = bp_core_can_edit_settings() && bp_user_can_create_groups();
	$groups_link = trailingslashit( bp_core_get_user_domain() . $slug );

	bp_core_new_subnav_item(
		array(
			'name'              => __( 'Create' ),
			'slug'              => 'create-group',
			'parent_slug'       => $slug,
			'parent_url'        => $groups_link,
			'position'          => 1010,
			'user_has_access'   => $access,
			'screen_function'   => function () {
			},
			'show_in_admin_bar' => false,
			'link'              => trailingslashit( bp_get_groups_directory_permalink() . 'create' ),
		)
	);
}

add_action( 'bp_groups_setup_nav', 'buddydev_custom_add_create_group_tab_to_profile_nav', 100 );

/**

* Add Create Group sub nav to User Profile->Groups screen

function buddydev_custom_add_create_group_tab_to_profile_nav() {

if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {

return;

}

$slug = bp_get_groups_slug();

$access = bp_core_can_edit_settings() && bp_user_can_create_groups();

$groups_link = trailingslashit( bp_core_get_user_domain() . $slug );

bp_core_new_subnav_item(

array(

'name' => __( 'Create' ),

'slug' => 'create-group',

'parent_slug' => $slug,

'parent_url' => $groups_link,

'position' => 1010,

'user_has_access' => $access,

'screen_function' => function () {

'show_in_admin_bar' => false,

'link' => trailingslashit( bp_get_groups_directory_permalink() . 'create' ),

)

);

}

add_action( 'bp_groups_setup_nav', 'buddydev_custom_add_create_group_tab_to_profile_nav', 100 );

You can put the code in your theme/child theme's functions.php or in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Here is a screenshot showing it in action:-

It works with both the template packs(Whether you use BP Nouveau or BuddyPress Legacy template pack, it will work).

Enjoy 🙂

Hello Everyone,

It is a little contribution.

For youzer users, if you want to display a pen icon before 'create a group' option, you can use this css code to do it. Add this one in the custom css panel of your theme.

/*Add pen icon for group creation option*/
.yz-tabs-list-gradient a#create-group i{
	background: #ffca6e;
	background: url(../images/dotted-bg.png),linear-gradient(to left,#f9d423 ,#ff4e50);
	background: url(../images/dotted-bg.png),-webkit-linear-gradient(right,#f9d423 ,#ff4e50);
}
a#create-group i.fa-globe::before{
	content:"\f303";
}

/*Add pen icon for group creation option*/

.yz-tabs-list-gradient a#create-group i{

background: #ffca6e;

background: url(../images/dotted-bg.png),linear-gradient(to left,#f9d423 ,#ff4e50);

background: url(../images/dotted-bg.png),-webkit-linear-gradient(right,#f9d423 ,#ff4e50);

a#create-group i.fa-globe::before{

content:"\f303";
