[Resolved] Is possible for members to tag each other in forum posts?

    Is it possible for users to tag each other in forum posts in the same ways as mentions on Facebook works, so they’ll get an alert if they’ve been mentioned?

    Hi @julia_b

    To my knowledge there isn’t anything like that available. Try searching the WP Plugin Directory. Else, if you’re good with code, something like this can be accomplished using regular expressions

    All of that said, forums questions are better asked over at bbPress. You may have more luck there.

    Thanks Henry. I’m not a developer and only know the basics I don’t think regular expressions is something I can really use. But I’ll check out plugins and post over in the bbpress forum. I get a bit confused about what to post there and here, though this might be a buddypress one as might be available in groups and other things across the site too.

    I appreciate the response. 🙂

    @julia_b,

    you can allow your users to be notified by email when they are mentionned (and some other little things).

    See Notification Manager plugin.

    @julia_b I just re-read your question. I’m now wondering what exactly you mean by tag someone? If you mean @-mention someone then email alert settings are available but if you meant hashtag someone #henrywright (which is what I originally thought you meant but am now not so sure) then that sort of functionality isn’t standard.

    @danbp I’ve used Hashbuddy in the past and remember it to be a very good plugin!
