I would like to add Icons to the Admin Links, But I do not want use the ::before or ::after, I would like to filter and dictate the content it outputs by adding some html element to it such like <i class="fa fa-reply"></i>

I hope this is possible

[Robin W]

by admin links, do you mean the edit|merge|close things that appear for admins/mods on topics/replies?

[Babblebey]

Yes, Its the same one that displays “reply” for Subscribers/Participants

[Robin W]

great – just wanted to check.

so is this a class per link, or a single class for all the links?

[Babblebey]

I want to be able to edit each of the Link – Let’s say for example I want to Change ‘Reply’ to ‘Respond’ and also add a fontawesome icon with the html i element.

[Robin W]

ok, so this (untested) one should put the class in for the edit, and change the word edit to ‘hello’

can you test and let me know that it works, and I’ll look at the others.

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_edit_link_parse_args' , 'rew_get_reply_edit_link' ) ;

function rew_get_reply_edit_link ($args) {
	$args['link_before'] = '<i class="fa fa-edit">' ;
	$args['link_after'] = '</i>' ;
	$args['edit_text'] = 'hello' ;
	
return $args ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

[Babblebey]

Nothing changed, Robin

[Robin W]

so you still see ‘edit’ as the link word?

[Babblebey]

Yes I still see it

[Robin W]

ok, where did you put the code?

[Babblebey]

My Theme’s functions.php file

[Robin W]

ah… and are you looking at a reply, not a topic?

[Babblebey]

I’m looking at both

[Robin W]

ok, the code works in my test site, so a reply edit admin link show ‘hello’ instead of ‘Edit’.

If this is not the case, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back
