Hi all,

I’m looking for advice on how to control the order in which forums are displayed. Specifically, I want to be able to “pin” site forums at the top and have user created forums displayed lower down. I may have missed something obvious, but the only way I see to control this is with the “order” parameter (which can be set by hand) under “Forums” in the WP Dashboard.

It appears that the order parameter is set to 0 by default. Is there a way to override this, so that I can make user-created forums (or all new forums) default to some higher number?

Thanks!

untested, but add this to your functions file or snippets

add_filter ('bbp_before_insert_forum_parse_args' , 'rew_order' ) ;

function rew_order ($args) {
$args['menu_order'] = 10 ;
return $args ;
}
