Code Reference Functions bp_core_component_slug_from_root_slug()

bp_core_component_slug_from_root_slug( string $root_slug )

Create a default component slug from a WP page root_slug.

Description

Since 1.5, BP components get their root_slug (the slug used immediately following the root domain) from the slug of a corresponding WP page.

E.g. if your BP installation at example.com has its members page at example.com/community/people, $bp->members->root_slug will be ‘community/people’.

By default, this function creates a shorter version of the root_slug for use elsewhere in the URL, by returning the content after the final ‘/’ in the root_slug (‘people’ in the example above).

Filter on ‘bp_core_component_slug_from_root_slug’ to override this method in general, or define a specific component slug constant (e.g. BP_MEMBERS_SLUG) to override specific component slugs.

Parameters

$root_slug

(Required) The root slug, which comes from $bp->pages->[component]->slug.

Return

(string) The short slug for use in the middle of URLs.
