Examples

<?php
/**
 * Example of how to use the bbp_new_reply_pre_insert filter hook.
 * This example demonstrates how to modify the post content of a new reply
 * before it is inserted into the database. In this specific case, we'll
 * prepend a message to the reply content if the author is a specific user ID.

/**
 * Modifies the content of a new BBPress reply before insertion.
 *
 * @param array $reply_data An array containing the data for the new reply.
 *                          Expected keys: 'post_author', 'post_title', 'post_content',

	if ( ! is_array( $reply_data ) || ! isset( $reply_data['post_content'] ) ) {
		return $reply_data; // Return original data if not in expected format.
	}

	// Example: If the author is a specific user (e.g., user ID 5), prepend a message.
	// Replace 5 with the actual user ID you want to target.
	$target_author_id = 5;
	if ( isset( $reply_data['post_author'] ) && $reply_data['post_author'] == $target_author_id ) {

		$reply_data['post_content'] = $prepend_message . $reply_data['post_content'];
	}

	// You can perform other modifications here as well.
	// For example, sanitizing content, adding metadata, etc.

	return $reply_data; // Always return the modified (or original) array.
