Hi there,

I am currently working on my first bbPress site and thoroughly enjoying it! I have one issue though…

On my home page I have a list of 8 latest posts on the site. They include news (standard WP posts), events (custom post type) and bbPress topics and are displayed with query_posts().

I am trying to display the reply count of topics but can’t using bbp_topic_reply_count(), it simply returns 0.

<?php if ( 'topic' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>
	<article class="bit-4 newsPost grid-sizer grid-item">
    	<div class="eventInner homePost">
        	<p class="postLabel">Discussion</p>
            	<h1 class="eventListTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                	<p class="postedOn"><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?> comments, starting on<?php the_date('d M Y'); ?></p>
                    	<p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
        	</div>
    </article>
<?php endif; ?>

Am I missing something? Can someone help please?

Thanks

You are out of your forum environment, so you need to give the post ID as a parameter to the bbp_topic_reply_count

Thanks

Is there a show_topic_ID() or something?

Solved it! I had to get the ID of the ‘topic’ custom post type and pass it to bbp_topic_reply_count

<?php if ( 'topic' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>

				<?php $topic = get_the_ID(); ?>
                    		<article class="bit-4 newsPost grid-sizer grid-item">
                            	<div class="eventInner homePost">
                                    <p class="postLabel">Discussion</p>
                    				<h1 class="eventListTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                                    <p class="postedOn"><?php the_date('d M Y'); ?>, <?php bbp_topic_reply_count(  $topic_id = $topic ); ?></p>
                            		<p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
                                </div>
                        	</article>
						<?php endif; ?>
