BuddyPress.org

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.
