Yes I did I noticed that before I tried the code. I will play around and see if I can find the problem, if the get_page_by_title() works as I would like then it must be an error somewhere else.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Robin, thank you for the example code! I have tried it and it seems to return the same value regardless of the title, so I am unsure…

Here is the sample code that I have used the function within:

function return_content_replies() {
	
	$title = $_POST['title'];
	$topic_id = rew_find_topic_id($title);
	
	if ( $topic_id == 'empty' ) { 
	  	// create the topic here
	} else {
		$args = array(
			  'post_parent' => $topic_id, // ID of the topic
			  'order'       => 'ASC', // Order of the replies (ASC or DESC)
			);
			
			$replies_array = array();
		
			if ( bbp_has_replies( $args ) ) {
			  while ( bbp_replies() ) {
				bbp_the_reply();
				$replies_array[] = array(
				  'id' => bbp_get_reply_id(),
				  'content' => bbp_get_reply_content(),
				  'date' => bbp_get_reply_post_date(),
				);
			}
		}
			$response = array( 'status' => 'success', 'message' => $topic_id);
	}
	wp_send_json($response);
}

Yes, I it is guaranteed that the topic title is unique – I am the only one who creates the topics.

I am trying to link my site with an app, and I have implemented a search bar so when the user searches a topic, then all the replies to that topic will show.

I have everything working except returning the replies!

… The array of topic IDs sounds like it would work, how would i do that?

Okay I understand thank you.

So is there no way in returning the topicID when I just have the title?

[saciojote]

Follow up from this question, is there a function which you pass the title of a topic “ABC” and it returns back the id of said topic i.e 123?
