I want to customize a topic that is closed. It was easy to find the css class for a topic that was closed, but I cannot for for the life of me find what php file is executing that class. I want to add an extra column with the string “[Resolved]” next to the name of the topic to make it more intuitive for my users. The website with an example of a closed topic is: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/forums/forum/submitted-features/

I am running Wp v3.4.2 and bbPress v2.1.2

The class is “status-closed”. You can change the title of a topic in this way:

add_filter('the_title', 'custom_the_title', 10, 2);

public function custom_the_title($title, $post_id) {
    if(get_post_type($post_id) === bbp_get_topic_post_type() &&
        bbp_is_topic_closed($post_id)) {
        return '[Resolved] ' . $title;
    }

    return $title;
}

Forgot the double &, it’s &&.

Zaerl, you rock. Thank you for that. Except I think you actually did include the double ampersand in your original source.

Never mind I just noticed you modified your post 🙂

Unfortunately this forum has a lot of problems with HTML entities.

Hello. Can you please advise which file the code above needs to be inserted in? I can definitely use this functionality. I’ve tried adding it in my theme’s functions.php but it doesn’t work there. Thank you!
