    Hello, you guys have created a great theme and excellent plugins. But I have a few questions.

    1. On my homepage, how do I remove the comment box?
    2. How do I include font awesome icons? I’ve tried this
    <span style=”color: #ffffff; font-size: 12pt”><i class=”fa fa-asterisk”>Test</i></span> will give me *Test with the proper styling.
    using the visual editor and nothing happened.
    3. How can you follow members on bbpress forums
    4. Can I disable the “friend” feature altogether?
    5. How can I add a Google font into the theme?
    6. Can I have a login screen instead of the “backend” like login?
    7. How do I redirect users when they login/logout to a specific page?
    8. Just to clarify, in the “Boss” menu in my dashboard, there are no theme options here?

    Thank you so much.

    @joymoleta Welcome to the BuddyBoss community!
    1) This is a WordPress issue, in Dashboard>Page you have the option to remove WordPress comments. If this is not the correct comment box please give me a link to your site you are referring to or an image with the box highlighted or arrow pointing to it.
    2)
    3) You will need to download the follow plugin from WordPress
    4) Shouldn’t be a problem, this is an unusual setup that requires above plugin for your site to function somewhat normally
    5) The best was is via a plugin from WordPress repository
    6) There are widgets you can place in sidebars for this purpose
    7) Another plugin
    8) This is located in Dashboard>Appearance>Customizer

    Thank you very much, I will look into these suggestions. Do you have any solutions on the icon usage?

    My mentions are not being linked either top the profiles from the forum, only mentions on the walls are being picked up. I’m pretty sure I have the “follow” plugin as well, but I’ll take another look.

    Lastly, a block/ignore options for users would be ideal. Is this available or is it planned in upcoming versions?

    Hello, I checked and the follow option is there. Thank you.

    But I haven’t heard back from you about the blocks/ignore feature. Please advise. Thank you!

    Sorry I have more questions! I am unable to update the social media links in the profiles. I put in the information but when I save it, ti stil comes up blank.

    On the “Users” menu the social media urls are also blank. Thank you.

    @joymoleta it would be best to create a new support topic for each issue so I know where we stand for each.
    Regarding fontawesome try a different color, white on white…you probably just aren’t seeing it. It works for me when using the color black 🙂

    Blocking is not something we would create in our theme, this should be a BuddyPress feature. You can search for plugins to do just about anything. You could try this free plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-you-are-blocked/ or this one: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-profile-visibility-manager/

    I’d suggest disabling plugin to see if a plugin is conflicting with the social media links. Make sure you are saving the data! You also need the entire http URL.
