onOptionsItemSelected is not meant to handle action on BottomNavigationView. Action on MenuItem in BottomNavigationView should be done as follows:

BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.navigation);
bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView
            .OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull final MenuItem item) {
            int id = item.getItemId();

            //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement

            if (id == R.id.navigation_home) {

                Intent navHome = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WordpressActivity.class);
                MainActivity.this.startActivity(navHome);
                return true;
            }

            if (id == R.id.navigation_apps) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "apps is Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                return true;
            }

            if (id == R.id.navigation_profile) {
                Intent navProf = new Intent(MainActivity.this, AccountActivity.class);
                MainActivity.this.startActivity(navProf);
                return true;
            }

            if (id == R.id.navigation_logout) {
                Intent navLog = new Intent(MainActivity.this, LogoutActivity.class);
                MainActivity.this.startActivity(navLog);
                return true;
            }
            return false;

    });
