@mentions doesn’t work (actually) in bbPress.
To add it, so you can mention a user in a topic, add this snippet to bp-custom.php or child-theme’s functions.php
function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
$retval = true;
}
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );
Hi @danbp,
the @username on my site has still no link to the profile…?
On a profile header, it’s not intended to link to the profile, as you’re already on a profile when you see @username !
This is there as reminder for members who want to sent a message to that user.
When on any activity page and you use @mention in a notice, you get a userlist depending the first letter you type after @. But never a link to a profile.
Or do you mean that @mentions is not active, whithout any links on it ?
Hi @danbp,
no I mean the link to the profile shown here in the buddypress forum replies.
When I write @danpb it is linked to your profile!
Just want the same in my bbpress install, but the code in functions.php above does not work…
The code works, but is not intended for what you want. 😉
What is used here is a custom function.

Hi @danbp and @ all other readers,
do you know more about this custom function used in the buddypress forum?
Just to get a link to the profile, if a user is mentioned ( @username ) in a topic…
Thanks
Matthias
To link to a profile within bbpress topic editor, you should add the snippet to bp-custom.php
Read also here, where i mentionned a plugin

Hi @danpb,
now I’m using your code and the plugin, but my forum still shows no links in @mention
I just was searching in the bbpress support forum and it seems that it is a built in feature. But I don’t know why it is not working on my install?
Here is how @mention are shown in my forum. No link to the user profile at all
Any suggestions to solve the problem?
Thanks
Matthias
Hi @danpb,
sorry it is working. Not backwards for older posts, but for new posts.
The plugin was the solution…
Thanks for your support!
Matthias
Hi @danpb,
the @username link works in the lead topic but not in replies?
Did I miss something to add?
Thanks
Matthias
Keine ahnung ! It works on my forum… Do you use a cache or clear your browser history and cookies.
Aside, did you allowed mention in BP settings ?
Hi danbp,
I can not find a setting to allow explicit @mention. I allowed the activity stream in buddypress. And @mentions are working fine in there.
The notifications if someone is mentioned in the bbpress forums are working fine, too. I even have a dropdown field with suggestions for @mention in bbpress.
The only thing is the missing link to the profile behind the @mention in replies…
forums and buddypress sites are exluded from caching…
Thanks
Matthias
Hi @danpb,
I found a snippet in my theme functions.php that causes the missing link to profile in all @mentions in bbpress. When I delete the following code all @mentions in the bbpress topics and replies are shown.
Can you have a look at the following code. Maybe you can see, why it deletes the mention links to the profiles…?
// replies visible only for logged in users
function bb_auth_reply_view( $reply_id ) {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
// Check if password is required
if ( post_password_required( $reply_id ) )
return get_the_password_form();
$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $reply_id );
// first topic reply shouldn't be hiding
$rep_position = bbp_get_reply_position($reply_id);
// if user is not logged in and not the first post topic
if( !is_user_logged_in() && $rep_position > 0 ) {
return "replies only for logged in users!";
} else {
// return normal
return $content;
}
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bb_auth_reply_view' );
