Hi,
@mention auto suggest are working well in activity forms, but not inside forum (reply form). Is it a bug or intentional ?

Thanks

Hi @gatelli,

it’s not a bug, it’s not avaible i guess. 😉

Add this to your child-theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php (BP 2.1 & >)

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' );

Thanks for your answer.
I don’t use bbpress but Buddypress forum (v2.2)… is there a similar way to get it working ?

I don’t know BuddyPress forum (v 2.2).

Installing and using bbPress forum plugin is explained here:
