I’ve been trying to turn off mentions using:

add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' );

and

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

but it’s not working. Has this changed in v2.6?

Running bbPress v2.6-rc-7 and buddypress 4.3.0

I want to turn it off as it’s not required by the site, but mainly that it breaks URLs that happen to contain a username as described here.

Any ideas on how I can turn off @mentions?

I’m still trying to find a solution for this, can anyone help?

Now running buddypress 4.4.0.

anyone?

Try unhooking them:

remove_filter( 'bbp_make_clickable', 'bbp_make_mentions_clickable', 8 );

Thank you so much, that worked!

I think I’d tried removing every other filter other than that one

Hi guys,

I’m also trying to remove @ mentions from Forums and Activity in Groups.

I have successfully removed the @Username from beneath the profile names of buddypress users.

I have both of the following in PHP Functions.

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_do_mentions’, ‘__return_false’ );

and

remove_filter( ‘bbp_make_clickable’, ‘bbp_make_mentions_clickable’, 8 );

Now what happens is, when I type “@” followed by a letter for example “J” for “Jack” it still brings up “Jack” user names but it doesnt actually tag them or turn into a link after selecting one. How do I turn off @mentions entirely so it doesnt bring up user names?

I hope that makes sense.

I am using the latest WordPress 5.4 and the latest Buddypress 5.1.2 and bbPress 2.6.4

Any help would be amazballs:)
