bbPress 2.4
WP 3.6.1
running on localhost

I need to add a class to bb_forum_class and since 2.1 I thought that this should work:

<?php bbp_forum_class('clearfix'); ?>

But it’s not adding the class, can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong please?

I think the relevant bit of core for this is:

function bbp_get_forum_class( $forum_id = 0, $classes = array() ) {
		$bbp       = bbpress();
		$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$count     = isset( $bbp->forum_query->current_post ) ? $bbp->forum_query->current_post : 1;
		$classes   = (array) $classes;

		// Get some classes
		$classes[] = 'loop-item-' . $count;
		$classes[] = ( (int) $count % 2 )                      ? 'even'              : 'odd';
		$classes[] = bbp_is_forum_category( $forum_id )        ? 'status-category'   : '';
		$classes[] = bbp_get_forum_subforum_count( $forum_id ) ? 'bbp-has-subforums' : '';
		$classes[] = bbp_get_forum_parent_id( $forum_id )      ? 'bbp-parent-forum-' . bbp_get_forum_parent_id( $forum_id ) : '';
		$classes[] = 'bbp-forum-status-'     . bbp_get_forum_status( $forum_id );
		$classes[] = 'bbp-forum-visibility-' . bbp_get_forum_visibility( $forum_id );

		// Ditch the empties
		$classes   = array_filter( $classes );
		$classes   = get_post_class( $classes, $forum_id );

		// Filter the results
		$classes   = apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_class', $classes, $forum_id );
		$retval    = 'class="' . implode( ' ', $classes ) . '"';

		return $retval;
	}

I’ve done it using a filter in my functions.php but I’d be interested to know why the above method doesn’t work if anyone can explain please.

My code in case anyone needs it:

function add_clearfix( $classes ) {

	$classes[] = 'clearfix';

	return $classes;
	}
	
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_class', 'add_clearfix' );

You could try:

bbp_forum_class( bbp_get_forum_id(), array( 'clearfix' ) );
