Description
The Custom Tabs for BuddyPress plugin, developed by Tycoonverse, allows you to add up to three custom tabs to BuddyPress user profiles. Each tab can display content via a WordPress shortcode and be restricted to specific user roles. Features include:
Create custom tabs with a name, unique slug, and shortcode (e.g., GamiPress achievements).
Control tab visibility by user roles (e.g., show only to administrators or subscribers).
Manage tabs from the WordPress admin panel under Settings > Custom BP Tabs.
Ideal for BuddyPress sites needing tailored profile tabs without extra features that slow down performance. Perfect for showcasing custom content or integrations with plugins like GamiPress or HivePress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, BuddyPress must be installed and active for this plugin to work.
Yes, any valid WordPress shortcode can be used, such as GamiPress shortcodes for achievements or custom shortcodes for unique content.
In Settings > Custom BP Tabs, select the allowed user roles for each tab. Leave the roles field empty to make the tab visible to all users.
Ensure BuddyPress is active and the tab slug doesn’t conflict with existing BuddyPress components (e.g., ‘profile’, ‘messages’). Check the user’s role matches the tab’s allowed roles. If issues persist, inspect the profile navigation (right-click > Inspect) to verify the tab’s presence.
The plugin supports up to three custom tabs. Contact Tycoonverse for customization if more are needed.
