Hi C,
Thank you for using MediaPress.

Please put this code in your bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php

/**
 * Disable filtering of activity permalink by MediaPress.
 */
add_action( 'mpp_init', function () {

	if ( has_filter( 'bp_activity_get_permalink', 'mpp_filter_activity_permalink' ) ) {
		remove_filter( 'bp_activity_get_permalink', 'mpp_filter_activity_permalink', 10 );
	}

} );

That should remove the filtering of activity permalink and resolve the issue.

Please do let me know if it works for you or not?

Hi Mike,
My mistake. I was confused by something else. I checked my own settings on a local site with the branded login and can see there is only one page.

Please allow me couple of hours to test it and I will get back to you.

Hi,
Thank you for the question.

Even though it is doable, It will need extra efforts from you.

1. A plain text area can not have a different content presentation than the content view. What you want if you use contenteditable div or rich text area. They can have 2 different views. This will need rewriting the part of theme that provides interface for posting content(and related js)

2. Filtering the displayable content:- Filtering @ mentioned username at the time of display of activity content is inefficient as you will need to use regular expression to achieve the same for each entry. You can hook to activity saving action and update content to use the display name for mentioned users. Make sure to hook a bit late to allow the activity mention notificationss work.

Hi Mike,
There seems to be 2-3 plugins available for bbPress. I don’t use any, so unable to say which one is better.

Do you need integration with BuddyPress? Allowing users to update signature from BuddyPress profile? IF you are able to find one, it will be good. If not, Please let me know. Our team will be glad to create one for allowing signature update from profile.
