        'post_type' => 'post',
        'post_author' =>  bp_loggedin_user_id(),
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'tax' => array(
                    'category' => array(
                        'include' => array( 61 ), //category ids
                        'view_type' => 'checkbox',
                    ) 
                ),

Hi Saran,

Here is the the following code to implement your requirement you just need to put this code in your bp-custom.php file

function buddydev_modify_user_profile_tab() {
        
    $bp = buddypress();
	
    bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->settings->slug, 'general' );
    bp_core_new_nav_default(array('parent_slug'=>$bp->settings->slug, 'subnav_slug' => 'notifications', 'screen_function'=> 'bp_settings_screen_notification'));            
    
    $user_url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();
	// add 'Change profile picture' sub-menu tab
    bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
            'name'		=> 'General',
            'slug'		=> 'general',
            'parent_url'	=> trailingslashit( $user_url . $bp->profile->slug ),
            'parent_slug'	=> $bp->profile->slug,

And also you need to modify “buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile.php” and place the following code after line no. 56

case 'general' :

		// Display XProfile
		if (bp_is_my_profile() ) {
                    bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/settings/general' );
                        
                }
                break;

Thank You
Ravi
