Define you BuddyPress Slugs
Add these lines of code to your wp-config.php file to rename the slugs of the buddypress components ( these are for the members slug and the groups slug )
define( 'BP_GROUPS_SLUG', 'companies' );
define( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'volunteers' );
Running quick tags outside of the loop
For anyone who has had the same frustration I have where you need tocall a function from a plugin, but they only have a quick tag you insert into the post/page.
Solution
<?php echo apply_filters(“the_content”,”[Insert Your Quick Tag Here]“); ?>
This will apply the filter that is usually applied when a post is queried, and display the quick tag as it would normall if you inserted via the backend.
