Answer 1

You don't say which versions of WP / BP you're using, but try this:

Answer 2

the plugin mentioned above may give you what you are after, if not, I spent many many many hours figuring out how to add any menu item to to the main navigation bar.

Hope this helps

First ( highly recommend a child theme) add this to functions.php:

//--Current Page URL
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
$pageURL .=      $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}

Also add this to functions.php:

//--Nav Menu
 function add_profile_link_to_nav(){ 
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?> 

<ul> 

            <li class="menu-item"id="one"> <a href="<?php echo  bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>activity/just-me/">My Wall</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>activity/friends/">My Friends' Activities</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>profile/edit/group/1">Edit My Profile</a></li>
   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<!-- new menu here  edit the links-->
<li class="menu-item"id="two"> <a href="http://my_site.com/groups/community-wide-announcements/">Member Announcements</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

            <li class="menu-item"></li>
   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<!-- new menu here  edit the links-->

<li class="menu-item"id="three"> <a href="http://my_site.com/members/">All Members</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

            <li class="menu-item"> </li>
   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<!-- new menu here  edit the links-->
<li class="menu-item"id="four"> <a href="http://my_site.com/events/">All Events</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="http://my_site.com/events-calander/">Calendar View</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"id="four"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>events/my-events/">My Events</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"id="four"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>events/my-events/">Create an Event</a></li>
   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<!-- new menu here  edit the links-->
<li class="menu-item"id="five"> <a href="http://my_site.com/groups/">All Groups</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

            <li class="menu-item"></li>
   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<?php 
} 
}
add_action("bp_nav_items","add_profile_link_to_nav");

Then in header.php find: <?php echo add_profile_link_to_nav(); ?>

and add next to it: <?php do_action('bp_menu') ?>

so that it looks like this:

<?php do_action('bp_menu') ?><?php echo add_profile_link_to_nav(); ?>

Add to header.php before </header> (this adds a active color to the selected menu item link)

<?php

            if ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'activity/just-me/') {   $current = 'one'; }
             elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'activity/friends/') { $current = 'one'; }
             elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/edit/group/1') { $current = 'one'; }

             elseif ( curPageURL() == 'http://my_site.com/members/') { $current = 'two'; }

             elseif ( curPageURL() == 'http://my_site.com/groups/'){ $current = 'three'; }
             elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'groups/') { $current = 'three'; }

             elseif ( curPageURL() == 'http://my_site.com/events/') { $current = 'four'; }
             elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'events/my-events/') { $current =  'four';}                    

?>

        <style type="text/css">
          #<?php echo $current; ?> {
         background-color: #1E0D51;
         font-family: Comic Sans MS,Comic Sans MS5,cursive;
         }                 } 
        </style>

You wil have to change the above menu to what you want, as is, it is a copy of my menu on one of my bp sites.

As an example the url for my profile is:

http://my_site.com/members/admin/profile/
http://my_site.com/members/admin/profile/public/
http://my_site.com/members/admin/profile/edit/group/1
http://my_site.com/members/admin/profile/change-avatar/

and if you mean "My Home" to be "My Activity"

http://my_site.com/members/admin/activity/just-me/

becomes:

<?php
  if ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'activity/just-me/') { $current = 'one'; }
elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/') {   $current = 'two'; }
elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/public/') { $current = 'two'; }
elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'profile/edit/group/1') { $current = 'two'; }
 elseif ( curPageURL() == bp_loggedin_user_domain().'change-avatar/') { $current = 'two'; }
?>

<style type="text/css">
          #<?php echo $current; ?> {
         background-color: #1E0D51;
         font-family: Comic Sans MS,Comic Sans MS5,cursive;
         }                 } 
        </style>

And the Nav becomes

//--Nav Menu
 function add_profile_link_to_nav(){ 
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?> 

<ul> 

            <li class="menu-item"id="one"> <a href="<?php echo  bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>activity/just-me/">My Wall</a>
        <ul class="sub-menu"> 

<!--end menu--->
<!-- new menu here  edit the links-->
            <li class="menu-item"id="two"> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>profile/">My Profile</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>profile/public/">My Public Profile</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>profile/edit/group/1">Edit My Profile</a></li>
            <li class="menu-item"> <a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>change-avatar/">Change My Avatar</a></li>

   </ul> 
</li>
<!--end menu--->
<?php 
} 
}
add_action("bp_nav_items","add_profile_link_to_nav");

I think thats it, good luck.
