Code Reference Functions bbp_update_reply_position()

bbp_update_reply_position( type $reply_id, type $reply_position )

Update the position of the reply.

Description

The reply position is stored in the menu_order column of the posts table. This is done to prevent using a meta_query to retrieve posts in the proper freshness order. By updating the menu_order accordingly, we’re able to leverage core WordPress query ordering much more effectively.

Parameters

$reply_id

(Required)

$reply_position

(Required)

Return

(mixed)

	if ( empty( $reply_id ) )

	// If no position was passed, get it from the db and update the menu_order
	if ( empty( $reply_position ) ) {
		$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id ) );
	}

	// Update the replies' 'menp_order' with the reply position
	wp_update_post( array(
		'ID'         => $reply_id,
		'menu_order' => $reply_position
