    @ggoaga

    when I am login and go to memebers, I click on one member that is not friend with me and on his profile on his cover photo on the right is a drop down button with 3 choices:
    -private message

    -add friend

    -public message

    Can I change the order? I want “add friend” first choice by default. (see attachment so you see what I mean)

    Thanks a lot

    I am trying to achieve the same thing on my webpage, but I cannot clearly understand what the solution is from the answer. Could anyone explain to me, how I can change the order to “add friend” displaying as first too?

    Hi @memacle
    buddypress/members/single
    inside member-header.php
    you can keep modified files inside the child theme at same path
    replace following code

    
     if($showing == "follows") {
                                    bp_follow_add_follow_button();
                                }elseif($showing == "friends") {
                                    if(!bp_is_friend(bp_displayed_user_id())) {
                                        bp_add_friend_button();
                                    } elseif(bp_is_active( 'messages' )) {
                                        bp_send_private_message_button();
                                    } else {
                                        bp_send_public_message_button();
                                    } 
                                }else {
    								if ( bp_is_active('activity') ) {
    									bp_send_public_message_button();
    								}
                                } 
    

    with

    
    bp_add_friend_button();

    This code works to replace the “Follow” Button on the cover photo but it does not replace “Add Friend” in the drop down menu beside the button with the “Follow” Button.

    Hi @namrons, We are not modifying default buddypress action, inside drop down you will get all actions added by BuddyPress and other BuddyPress supportive plugins.
    Add Button section added extra before the action call, you can use that button as per our choice or your choice with conditional logic.

    Varun,

    I’m sorry, but I’m still very confused about the instructions here. I would like to make ‘Add Friend’ as the default button, rather than ‘Private Message’. Can you be more specific about what I need to do?
    I’m not sure what this means:

    buddypress/members/single
    inside member-header.php
    you can keep modified files inside the child theme at same path
    replace following code

    Where in the Child theme do I drop that .php file? I can only find that filepath in the Boss. theme, not the Child theme.

    Thanks!

    Also, when I replace the above code with your given code: bp_add_friend_button();
    It entirely removes the option to send a private message to members who you ARE friends with. I don’t want to remove any buttons, I just want ‘add friend’ to be the main display.

    Hi @aaronmcnany, Please copy the folder buddypress and paste it inside child theme and do the required changes in member-header.php

    @pallavi, thanks for getting back to me last week.

    I’ve run into an issue where my ‘Private Message’ function has disappeared. I need to keep ‘Add Friend’ as the primary button (for obvious reasons, since it’s a social network!), but I still really need to have the ‘private message’ function available to users. Can you help me out?

    Hi @aaronmcnany, Plesae let me know where and how you have changed the code so I can guide you to get the codes back to work again.

    If you read reply #47572 above, I did exactly what he told me to do: I removed the

    if($showing == “follows”) {
    }…..(abbreviated for saving space)

    function and replaced it with

    bp_add_friend_button();

    This obviously solved my problem of the ‘add friend’ button being hidden in the drop-down list, but it effectively removed the private message button.
    What do you think I should do? Can I just add

    bp_send_private_message_button();

    somewhere? Thanks!

    (recommend to make ‘add friend’ button the default main button in future versions)
