Disable Activity streams, keep mentions for BBPress

    Hello,
    I am running the latest versions of BBPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress. I am using the below code to use BuddyPress mentions for BBPress.

    /*Add Mentions to BBPress*/
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' );

    I do not need to use the Activity streams, is there a way to disable the Activity streams but still keep the mentions functionality that BuddyPress provides?

    Thanks.

    @-mentions require the activity stream component and as far as I know there’s no way around that.

    I know bbPress has their own version of at-mentions. You should experiment by disabling the Activity Streams component from BuddyPress and testing an at-mention in a bbPress forum post to see what happens.

    Hello,
    Already have. 🙂 It does not give you any suggestions of usernames and I do not think it sends you email notifications if the person is not subscribed to a topic.

    Thanks.

    bbPress wouldn’t give you any suggestions.

    I just took a look at the bbPress codebase and bbPress should link usernames when @USERNAME is used in the post content. That’s basically the extent of their at-mention functionality.

    You might want to keep an eye on these tickets in bbPress Trac:

    @tech55541 would you mind sharing your knowledge with a newbie? I am running buddypress/bbpress and bbpress still haven’t added auto-suggestions (although they work fine in buddypress forms).

    Should I add your code to my bp-custom.php? I get a ‘Fatal Error’ when I run it through a php-checker.

    Would you lend me some advice about using this code you’ve kindly shared??
