I saw this discussion:

a way to check for subforums

It implied it was fixed in bbpress 2.1:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1803

But I don’t get it.

This is a sub forum with child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/midweek-editor/">Midweek Editor</a>

This is a forum with no child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/assignments-editor/">Assignments Editor</a>

As you can see, the code is exactly the same. I understood from the associated discussion that the forum with child forums would have a additional class specified so that we could use pseudo before / after to add a symbol to indicate it is a forum with sub forums.

Or do I have to go about this differently?

I am using bbp style pack.

Thanks for shedding any light on this.

According to the trac it states:

Add bbp-has-subforums if forum has subforums

Why am I not seeing this class present in the latest version of bbPress 2.6.4?

Any clarification about this please? Thanks.

This is Test

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

the includes/forum/template.php has a function called bbp_get_forum_class which adds classes, but as far as I can see it is never used.

bbp_list_forums in the same template has

// Subforum classes
			$subforum_classes      = array( 'bbp-forum-link' );
			$subforum_classes      = apply_filters( 'bbp_list_forums_subforum_classes', $subforum_classes, $sub_forum->ID );

			// This could use bbp_get_forum_class() eventually...
			$subforum_classes_attr = 'class="' . implode( ' ', array_map( 'sanitize_html_class', $subforum_classes ) ) . '"';

so looks like this is a plan?

anyway you could use the line listed above

$subforum_classes = apply_filters( 'bbp_list_forums_subforum_classes', $subforum_classes, $sub_forum->ID );

to add a call to that function

sorry that’s then best I can do
