Just curious..

When I’m at a singel forum page I see a list of all topics from X forum – great but at the button I have this bbp_forum_pagination_links() function and I want to change the HTML structure this function provides but when I search about this function I see this in the Core.

Yes there is a filter but where does the real magic happen or where is the links structure been created.

Other option, would it maybe also possible to use a native WordPress pagination function but just link it to the forums Post Type?

This is strange..

Why is my filter not working. When I look at my screenshot you can see that this array has an apply_filter() function before the variable/array goes through the paginate_links().
This filter I should use, I expect if I want to make any changes to the array before it gets pulled into the paginate_links() function – right?

So I created this add_filter function to test if I can change the <– arrow –> symbols. But for some reason no success at all.

function xx_my_stuff( $bbp_topic_pagination ) {

	$bbp_topic_pagination = array(
		'prev_text' => 'test',
		'next_text' => 'test',
	);
	return $bbp_topic_pagination;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'xx_my_stuff' );

Yes great find, thank you Robkk,

Now you can also do this, ..and make the pagination an unordered list like it should be by the default. 🙂

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {

	$args['type'] = 'list';
	$args['prev_text'] = 'previous';
	$args['next_text'] = 'next';

	return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination' );

WP Codex: all those args should probably work now.

Alright cool. Glad you are sorted out now. 🙂
