Hi, I’m experimenting with embedding some of the bbPress commenting features into an existing website and I was wondering how to set a topic ID.

If I do something like this it will return the topic title just fine:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

echo $topic->topic_title;

But as soon as I try something like this I realize that I don’t have an active topic because it no longer returns the information:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

if (is_topic()) echo $topic->topic_title;

Hope that was clear,

Thanks!

Not quite sure what you are asking/doing buy try adding global $topic; before your code if you find the function don’t know which topic is active.
