Hi!
I tried a snippet from this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#24-show-status-labels-for-bbpress-topics
to get a label or icon for sticky topics.
```
function rk_sticky_topics() {
 
   if ( bbp_is_topic_sticky() && !bbp_is_topic_closed() )
      echo '<span class="sticky">[Sticky]</span>';
}
 
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'rk_sticky_topics' );
```
I get a fatal error with syntax error unexpected ‘;’ on the line starting with if.

Thank you in advance

just loaded that code to my test site, and it runs fine.

suggest you delete and try it again

Thank you for trying.

That’s odd.

I’ve tried it again, and also in my functions.php instead of Code Snippets. It doesn’t say there’s any errors until I try to save it.
I tried another theme as well and also to remove all other custom snippets I got, but the same result.

ok, so just looked the documentation says

‘& lt;’

when it should say

‘<‘
etc.
This is just internet stuff between stating and interpreting.

so if you copy the code in your first post, then this is the correct code to have.

I’ll look to correct the documentation

Oh! I did not see that the code changed when I pasted it in here and the ‘;’ even disappeared. I kept retrying with the one in the documentation.

Thanks again Robin, you’re awesome 🙂
