Are these three functions broken because I’m receiving zero posts/topics/replies when they’re executed:

bbp_get_user_post_count()
bbp_get_user_reply_count()
bbp_get_user_topic_count()

Hi Loc Pham, welcome back.

No they are not broken, otherwise over 200.000 others would have complained already.

Are you giving the user_id as an integer as parameter ?
Are you always getting 0 or you are not getting the correct result ?

Pascal.

Hi Pascal,
Yes, I passed in the user id for admin and I’ve always got “0” back and admin had created many topics already.

bbp_get_user_post_count(1, false);

Thanks.

It works for me if I passed the reply/topic post author’s ID, it doesn’t update immediately though. Running the repair tools for calculating each users counts one by one in Tools > Forums fixed that.

I think auto-updating the count is part of the latest dev version though.

Here is the code I used to test it very quick. I just placed this in loop-single-reply.php.

<?php print bbp_get_user_reply_count( bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ?>

Repairing the counter via Tools menu did the trick. Thank you for your help.

I encountered the same Problem as Loc: The count returned by bbp_get_user_reply_count does not update with the user’s activities in the forums. The bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw computes the count directly from the database, which is computationally more expensive, but delivers a correct count.

Furthermore Robkk is right: I just had a look at the source code of bbPress 2.6-alpha, and has added and hooked some functions to correctly increase and decrease the post count on user’s actions such as creating and deleting posts.
