Was looking for something as simple as possible to add a menu item to a profile for BuddyPress or BuddyBoss. This works well and can accommodate shortcodes as well so there is flexibility without being too complicated. This will be a nice way to see what code is necessary for this also for this basic functionality. Well done!
