# References not working.

 * Hello!
 * First of all, awesome plugin! I’ve been looking for something like this and I
   came across of it randomly! wohoo. 🙂
 * Unfortunately I’ve enountered a problem with references. When I click (reference)
   on my website, nothing happens. Permalinks work great, but the reference thing
   wont let me sleep.
 * I already turned off all the plugins but Inline Comments, and didnt help at all.
 * Here are my settings:
 * **Im using this theme:** [http://themeforest.net/item/goliath-ads-optimized-news-reviews-magazine/9670200](http://themeforest.net/item/goliath-ads-optimized-news-reviews-magazine/9670200)(
   based on Bootstrap 3)
    **Selectors:** .full-width .post-1 .post p **“Site Slide”
   selector:** main-content-column-1 full-width **Custom CSS:**
 *     ```
       .incom-comments-wrapper { z-index: 140; }
       .incom-bubble { z-index: 141; }
       .incom-bubble-style { z-index: 142 }
       ```
   
 * My website: since it is not live yet I will email you the adresss.
 * I am seriously considering buying the ‘premium’ option (I am total freak when
   it comes to branding), however I cannot afford doing so without being 100% sure
   it will work with my theme.
 * I will greatly appreciate any tips!

 * Sorry for post under my post, but I have to.
 * And this is a bit offtopic too, but.
 * I started wondering. I just installed the “BBpress Topic for Post” ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/))
   plugin, which simply allows users to comment via BBpress forum rather than native
   comment system.
 * As I expected, it does not work with Inline Comments. However, I think it is 
   pretty close. Adding comment through Inline Box works like a charm. The thing
   is comment will not appear until I go to the post settings and re-save the post,
   since “BBpress Topic for Post” functionality called “Copy post comments to new
   topics (when available)” needs to be triggered again. After that, comment shows
   up in forums. I am looking to do this automatically. (But I have no idea how 
   to code… 🙁 )
 * Also permalinks go broken, but I think it can be very easily fixed because each
   forum post has similar functionality. (Unique ID)
 * So, how do I see this working? I imagine the goal is to redirect the comment 
   from Inline Box straight to forum form instead of comment.
 * I think It is really great way to engage with your community, and helps you kickstart
   blank forum aswell!
 * Is it doable?

 * Hi,
    lets work on your first question first. I see that the code of your reference
   links looks like this: `<span class="incom-ref-link">(References)</span>` But
   it should look like that. `<span class="incom-ref-link" data-incom-ref="P14">(
   References)</span>` Seems to be a problem that’s caused by your theme or a security
   method… I’m going to send you an e-mail with further instructions.
 * Best regards,
    Kevin
