How to Add Custom Forum Categories in bbPress

bbPress provides a powerful platform for creating forums on your WordPress site, but you might want to add custom categories to better organize the discussions. Here’s how to do it with a simple PHP code snippet:

function add_custom_forum_categories() {
    $args = array(
        'post_type'   => 'forum',
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'numberposts' => -1,
        'orderby'     => 'title',
        'order'       => 'ASC'
    );
    $custom_forums = get_posts( $args );
    
    foreach ( $custom_forums as $forum ) {
        // Custom logic to categorize forums
        wp_set_post_categories( $forum->ID, array( 1, 2, 3 ) ); // example category IDs
    }
}
add_action( 'bbp_new_forum', 'add_custom_forum_categories' );
