 * Is it possible to change the URL used by the plugin?
 * So that instead of everything being on /volunteer-opportunity it could be on /
   name-of-our-choice ?
 * Thanks!

 * This is definitely possible. We’ve added a hook into the plugin to make it happen.
   To adjust this you’ll want to add this code into the functions.php file of your
   active theme:
 *     ```
       function wi_change_volunteer_opp_url_slug( $slug ){
         return 'REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-URL-SLUG'; // Originally set to 'volunteer-opportunity'
       }
       add_filter( 'wivm_opp_rewrite', 'wi_change_volunteer_opp_url_slug' );
       ```
   
 * After you add that code make sure you refresh your URLs by going to Settings 
   >> Permalinks and clicking the blue “Save Changes” button (you don’t need to 
   change anything) within the admin.
 * Let us know how that goes for you and good luck.

 * Thanks Jonathan.
 * I wanted to keep all changes in the child theme to allow the parent to update
   without impacting any of the customisations.
 * I’ve created a functions.php file containing just the following and placed it
   in the child theme folder:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       function wi_change_volunteer_opp_url_slug( $slug ){
         return 'assistance-programme'; // Originally set to 'volunteer-opportunity'
       }
   
       add_filter( 'wivm_opp_rewrite', 'wi_change_volunteer_opp_url_slug' );
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * It works a treat – thanks for your help!
