 * I was making a code snippet for testing where I call a Buddyboss function but
   then I get the response that the function is undefined and doesn’t exist. But
   it does. And the Buddyboss plugin is of course active.
 * The weird thing is that when I call this function from a function in a custom
   plugin and it works fine. And calling a custom plugin function from the code 
   snippet works fine. But if I call the custom plugin function that call the Buddyboss
   function from the code snippet then the Buddyboss function is undefined in that
   function as well.
 * The function I try to call is bp_notifications_add_notification 
   [https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/reference/functions/bp_notifications_add_notification/](https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/reference/functions/bp_notifications_add_notification/)
 * Why is the Buddyboss function undefined when trying to call it directly or indirectly
   from a code snippet.
 * Is there some setting I’m missing or what is it I don’t understand? 🙂
