loop-topics-1234.php not possible in BBPress?

When I create in /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics.php then I can overwrite the default BBPress template this way.

But creating /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics-[FORUM_ID_HERE].php doesn’t use this template for that category ID which seems to be against https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/template-hierarchy-in-detail/

Is there a way to create a separate page template per forum ID without using conditional tags in loop-topics.php?

sorry – in a word – No. 🙂 I’m not a bbpress author, but the template hierarchy is optional not mandatory viz

‘With the exception of the basic index.php template file, you can choose whether you want to implement a particular template file or not.’

Conditional tags will provide a perfectly good solution, and are a recommended alternative viz

‘You can also use Conditional Tags to control which templates are loaded on a specific page.’, so yes that will be the root to go.
