I have my wordpress search configured to include bbpress forum topics; however, the bbpress search only searches forums topics. How do I include wordpress pages in the forum search?

Thank you.

Try adding this to your functions file:

function amend_bbpress_search ($args) {
$args[‘post_type’] = ‘any’ ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter (‘bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args’ , ‘amend_bbpress_search’) ;

Hi Robin,

thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the code did not work. When I enter text that I know is in a wordpress page into the forum search box, I get a list of forum topics, and that list disappears. When the list disappears, I get a no post found message.

Has anyone else successfully configured the bbpress search to include WordPress pages? Thank you.
