Frontend search : search by forum/category (bbpress)

[ilyessd]

Hi,
I have my website that has multiple bbpress forums and a search bar where the user can filter by different taxonomies but I also want to add a filter by forum. I would like a dropdown that displays all the forums such that the search results are only the topics that are in the selected forum. I could not find any solution to that, can anyone help me please ?
Kind regards.

Hi,

I believe you can use the _bbp_forum_id custom field for that: https://i.imgur.com/KF1HsN5.png
That should hold the forum ID for each topic. You may have tod add the forum IDs and names manually, as that field I believe only holds the forum ID.

Thank you, that’s what I did and it works !
However, if you go on my website and click on the differents dropdowns, you will see that they don’t have the same appearance :
– The custom field called ‘Secteur’ has no CSS (it’s the default dropdown)
– The others taxonomy filters called ‘Métier’ and ‘Nom de l’entreprise’ have a custom css with a grey background etc…
Is it possible to make all the dropdowns the same ? I would prefer to make the ‘Secteur’ filter like the two others but if it’s too complicated it’s okay if they are all default dropdown.
Thanks !

Great!

It’s only because that is a different type of filter, make sure to choose the searchable here: https://i.imgur.com/TVpG19t.png

That should do the trick!
