I imported the wordpress functions I need but get_the_ID() from wordpress doesn;t seem to work in bbpress. Is there a bbpress function that does the same thing? It gives you the index number of posts or comments or whatever that is currently being printed by the system

[_ck_]

you want get_topic_id() for the current topic id

or get_post_id() for the current post id

that worked. Thank you
