I thought I followed the codex instructions pretty clearly, but this add_filter in my functions.php file is resulting in a 502 error and… I have no clue why!

Sorry, bbpress newbie here… any help that anyone can offer would be awesome.

Thanks in advance,

PS Here’s the code I popped in my functions.php file:

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
bbp_list_forums(array (
‘before’ => ‘<tr>’,
‘after’ => ‘</tr>’,
‘link_before’ => ‘<td>’,
‘link_after’ => ‘</td>’,
‘separator’ => ‘<br>’,
));
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args’, ‘cxr_subforum_filter’ );

I’d suspect issues with the quotation – different systems seem to alter these – try making them consistent – this might work

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
 bbp_list_forums(array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

If it doesn’t then come back and I’ll take a deeper look, midnight here and on way to bed !

Perhaps I am missing something, but your code and my code seem to be identical… nevertheless, I copied and pasted your filter into the functions.php file in the child theme and it did not work…

Same result (502) errors.

Any other ideas?

Try this

function cxr_subforum_filter($args) {
 $args = (array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 return $args ;
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

That was it!

So… filters need to be passed a variable which gets returned in order to function properly?

Good to know, definitely not clear in the bbpress codex.

Thanks, Robin. Means alot!

most functions return a variable, so filters need to also.

these ‘before..parse args’ ones always need $args returned
