    Hi there, I have been looking around in the General Template Tags in https://codex.buddypress.org/ for the right tag for edit my profile groups/fields, ul.button-nav li a.

    According to the documentation bp_get_options_nav()should be the one, but it is not.

    “for profile it contains: [Public, Edit Profile, Change Avatar]”

    Which tag should I use to target and reposition this group with a hook?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    Thank you for the question.

    You can use this inside the profile loop

    
<?php bp_profile_group_tabs(); ?>

    Also, you do not need to add it via any hook. You can use template override.Adding content via hooks are normally preferred when you don’t have much control over the template.

    Hi Brajesh, thank you very much for suggesting this solution instead of using a hook.

    What I don’t understand using template override, is how I add the position where I want this code to render, eg bp_after_content?

    Hi Carsten,
    When I say template override, It means copying the specific template to your theme/child theme form the BuddyPress template pack and modifying as you please.

    That way you get more flexibility.

    Hi Brajesh, so the position of the tabs is defined by where in the profile loop it is copied into?

    I think I have asked this question before, but something is stil not clear to me; what about the original position of the tabs, should I just hide them with css, or should the code be deleted from the profile loop?

    Thanks

    Hi Brajesh, still learning, adding <?php bp_profile_group_tabs(); ?> to the profile-loop.php is not just a simple copy/paste I realised, hope to learn that some day ;-), meanwhile, I think I just add it in a hook, its working perfectly, thanks.

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    I am glad you solved it.

    My suggestion for future is to take a look at the template pack code. That will give you better insight and help in solving many issues.

    Regards
