I need to filter the topics in a single forum based on a post_meta value.

Currently, I’m over-riding the loop-topics.php template.

So which hook or filter should be used to pass in query args?
Or even better a csv string of topic ids?

It seems the topics are gathered in a template other than loop-topics.php ?
Perhaps I should be over-riding a different template?

It seems that content-single-forum.php is the template to over-ride.

So do I have to pass in WP_Query meta_query args to bbp_has_topics() ?

I’d like to only gather the appropriate topics, so using the supplied apply_filters
apply_filters( 'bbp_has_topics', $bbp->topic_query->have_posts(), $bbp->topic_query );
seems inefficient.

Or is there an easier way?

This seems to work – there may be a better way…

In an over-ride of content-single-forum.php, do something like this:

if ( // some condition ) {
 
	$my_r['meta_query'] = array(
		array(
		'key' => 'my_key',
		'value' => 'my_value',
		'compare' => '=',
		)
	);
}
else
	$my_r = ''; 

Then change bbp_has_topics() to bbp_has_topics( $my_r )
