get bbpress forum count on wordpress page

Question

I have bbpress installed as a plugin in a wordpress site and want to display the total amount of forums, topics and replies on the worpress home page but cannot seem to figure this out.

The following piece of code displays a table similar to the default forms display which contains this information but cant seem to figure out to extract this information.

bbp_set_query_name('load_forum_details');
if ( bbp_has_forums() ) :
    bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' );
endif;
bbp_reset_query_name();

has anyone any ideas?

regards

Answer 1

<?php $forum_id = 12; ?>
<?php bbp_forum_topic_count($forum_id); //Show topic count ?>
<?php bbp_show_lead_topic($forum_id) ? bbp_forum_reply_count($forum_id) : bbp_forum_post_count($forum_id); //Show reply count ?>

This code to show topic count and reply count of forum with id =12

Hope useful for you

VERY late to the party, but (since version 2.5) Wordpress has a function wp_count_posts() that will count any (custom) post type.

So you can just use $forumCount = wp_count_posts('forum)->publish; and echo $forumCount;.

Think I've managed to do this:

function bbpress_summary() {
    global $wpdb;
    return array(
        'forum_count' => $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(post_id) FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_total_topic_count'"),
        'topic_count' => $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(post_id) FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_topic_id' AND `post_id` = `meta_value`"),
        'thread_count' => $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(post_id) FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_topic_id'"),
        'user_count' => $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'wp_user_level'")
    );
}
