```php
if ( ! function_exists( 'bbp_get_topics_per_page' ) ) {
    return;
}

$wpide_bbp_topics_per_page  = 30;
$wpide_bbp_replies_per_page = 25;

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topics_per_page', function () use ( $wpide_bbp_topics_per_page ) {
    return $wpide_bbp_topics_per_page;
} );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_replies_per_page', function () use ( $wpide_bbp_replies_per_page ) {
    return $wpide_bbp_replies_per_page;
} );
```

## Notes

Large numbers make pages heavier; 20 to 50 is a good range.
