Is there some way to add the descriptions set for each forum to display on the forums page itself? For example, I have short descriptions like “Want to join us? Thinking about it? This is where you start!” for the Recruitment section here-
http://www.chucklingcasket.com/forums/

But it does not show, is it possible to have the descriptions show?

I’ve tried that, but it still isn’t showing the description under the forum title on the main forum page-

Hi there,

Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Hello There,

Please do give us admin rights so we can check and also FTP credentials too.. I don’t see that you have a child theme? Where did you add the code? Please note that it is not advisable to add it on X theme functions.php file because it will be overwritten on updates. It should be added on child theme’s functions.php file

Hi Bernard

Download a Child Theme From :

Dashboard

Access your site via FTP or Cpanel via File Manager access and extract your child theme on wp-content/themes/x-child

On your wordpress admin dashboard > Activate Child Theme

You can than copy files from the original theme on correspondent folder on your child theme and make the changes you want to that file

Hope that helps

Sorry about the delay.. holidays and all! I got the child theme set up, could still use some help with the forum descriptions showing on the forum list page

[Paul RModerator]

Hi,

Please add this in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function rw_singleforum_description() {
  echo '<div class="bbp-forum-content">';
  echo bbp_forum_content();
  echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rw_singleforum_description');

You may add it after this line

// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

After that, add this in Custom > Edit Global CSS in the customizer

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content {
  clear: both !important;
  margin-left: 0 !important;
  padding: 0  !important;
}

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I’ve made those adjustments, but the descriptions still do not show in the forum list here-

Hi There,

I have login to your site and want to check if there are any forum descriptions. Regretfully I couldn’t find where to edit the forums and even the forum post replies. Could you please check and make sure that all your forums has descriptions. The code may have work and the forums just needs some descriptions to be added.

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi There,

Thanks for updating in! It seems that we have a very limited access to your site. This is why we are not seeing the Forums section in the WP Dashboard.

Could you please provide as access to your site?

Thank you in advance.

[BernarrParticipant]

Sorry about that, forgot to set admin on forums too, you should be able to see it now
