Thanks again 🙂

In a custom plugin I just made 🙂

[@stoffer_dev Participant 6 years ago]

I found a way to put it in a plugin 🙂

I Thought I would have to hook into ‘plugins_loaded’ like so:

 add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'bbpress_overwrite' );

 function bbpress_overwrite() {
     add_filter ('bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', 'rew_amend_search') ;
 }

function rew_amend_search ($args) {
	$args['post_type'] =  bbp_get_topic_post_type() ;
return $args ;
}

But for some reason this was enough: ?

add_filter ('bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', 'rew_amend_search') ;

function rew_amend_search ($args) {
	$args['post_type'] =  bbp_get_topic_post_type() ;
return $args ;
}

Really nice. Worked like a charm 🙂 !

Can I put this in a custom plugin instead of functions.php ?

[@stoffer_dev Participant 6 years ago]

If I could put the solution in a custom plugin it would be really awesome 🙂

[@stoffer_dev Participant 6 years ago]

No worries 🙂 I am just happy to get help.

I want to change the function: bbp_has_search_results. Where I replace:

$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );

With:

$default_post_type = array(bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );

Can I also override files in the “includes” folder (bbpress/includes/search/template.ph) in a child theme?

[@stoffer_dev Participant 6 years ago]

The problem is, using the template solution will get overwritten when I update the the bbPress plugin…:(

[@stoffer_dev Participant 6 years ago]

I put this:

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_search_terms_parse_args', 'pluus_amend_search') ;

function pluus_amend_search ($args) {
	$args['post_type'] =  bbp_get_topic_post_type() ;
return $args ;
}

in my wp-content/themes/<ThemeName>/functions.php

But Forum names (“bbp_get_forum_post_type()”) are still included in the search results on the frontend.

Only editing “plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php” works 🙂

Hi Robin W 🙂

The above solution does not work in 2019. Is there a new way to only search topics and replies as of now ?
