The BuddyPress User Profile Tabs Creator Pro plugin gives a lot of flexibility in creating new profile tab/component. Here is a list of settings and their explanations.

Tab Title/label:- The title box allows you to set the label for the profile tab.

This label appears as the profile tab label in the user profile menu.

Slug:-

The slug is used for the url. It must be unique for all main user tabs. It will be part of the url like http://example.com/members/some-member-name/tab-slug/ 

Recommendation:- We recommend using lower case string without any space like “tab-name”.

Tab settings:-

Below the Tab label and slug, you will see a box named tab settings as shown below. It allows you to configure the tab properly. The tab setting allows you to control the tab position, visibility and availability.

Tab Enabled:-

It allows you to mark a tab as enabled. Only the tabs which are enabled and published will be listed on profile.

Here is a demo for enabling and disabling the custom tab with BuddyPress User Profile Tabs Creator Pro

Set as Default Component:-

Allows you to set a tab as the default landing page for user profiles. In other words, when you click on a user link, that tab will be opened by default.

Note:- If you mark multiple tabs as default component, the latest created tab(not the edited), will be used as the default.
