I wanted to use the function wpforo_like_button on a custom post template.
I can see that the function works fine in the Threaded layout, but if I use the function on a post template derived from the Extended layout, it does not show the 'like count'.
Upon further examination, it seems that the template
/wpf-themes/classic/layouts/1/post.php
is missing the following statement
$post = wpforo_post($post['postid']);
which is present in line 24 of
/wpf-themes/classic/layouts/4/post.php
If I add the same statement to the template where it is missing, the wpforo_like_button then works as expected.
Question
By adding that statement it seems that some post array values that weren't loaded now are being loaded.
Was there a specific reason why that statement was missing for the Extended layout?
I would not want to have unforeseen consequences by adding it.
Thanks,
fawp
Hi @fawp,
The reason why that statement is missing is that those are different layouts and are developed, updated separate from each other.

Thanks Chris, my question was, am I likely to encounter problems by adding it?
I'm sorry, but a cant say that you won't have any issues, as I don't know how the customizations you did will respond on wpForo, It's like on your own risk to make code customizations.
@chris fair enough. Thanks Chris.
