Hi there!

As the title suggests, when dumping $wp_query/$query through pre_get_posts, the is_search value is set to true.

I don’t believe this should be happening, as this can break compatibility with Search specific alterations.

yes this is a known issue

see

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/
and/or

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix2/

there’s a trac ticket for it somewhere, but bbpress authors see it as a wordpress fix

Thanks for confirming Robin!

As WP_Query::is_search is a public variable, why don’t we simply alter it in real-time within bbPress itself? This will make sure people won’t need an external fix :), and it will leave plugin/theme developers out of question and responsibility.

I don’t do development of bbpress, just write supporting plugins and offer support here.

[@cybr Participant 8 years, 8 months ago]

Ah okay! Is there a trac, git or something available where I can propose a diff? Thanks!

This is already fixed in 2.6.
