Change "activity" slug

Hello,

buddypress codex says it should be fairly easy to change the default pages.
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/:
Defining custom slugs
Developers may modify the default URL slugs for activity, forums, etc by adding a statement in the bp-custom.php file.
```
// change 'discuss' to whatever you want
define( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'discuss' );
```
I tried putting these in my function.php, but that does not work.

define( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'discussions' ); define ( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'community' );

if I do what is suggested in this tutorial

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Slugs
For example, if you are running a sports website with BuddyPress, you could rename the URL slug example.com/members to example.com/players by changing the url of the corresponding component page in the WordPress admin -> pages.

I can change the page’s slug , but cannot edit the page anymore.
I am using wp composer / shortcodes to design the activity page and these do not work if the slug is renamed from wp admin >pages. I am not able to add text, nor images to the page.

Can anybody help, please?

Thank you.

this one is still uresolved.

@danbp (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/custom-activity-slug/)
custom slug change for ACTIVITY does not work for me.

To change slugs on the sub nav on a member page add these defines to a file bp-custom.php and place this file in /plugins/bp-custom.php

?

define( ‘BP_SETTINGS_SLUG’, ‘settings’ );
define( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘profile’ );

3 mounth later….
just tested the defines and they’re working ! You have a cote error in above code. 😉

Try this:
define( 'BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG', 'activitissima' );

Remind also that BP’s activity page, defined in BP settings, must be empty, without shortcodes, template or page model. Just a title. These pages are dynamic, not static like normal WP pages.
If you need to modifiy it, use a template override.

If you still want to understand, please read here:
