Description showing under main forum categories but not under subforums

[INcroatia]

Hi there,

We’ve been adding descriptions to the forums and subforums on this page, however only the descriptions under the main forum categories are showing, the subforums don’t have anything underneath them.

For example, under the main forum “Birth + Postpartum” there is a description “The beautiful and the ugly, give it to us straight.”, but under the subforums “Birth Trauma” and “NICU” nothing is showing, despite us adding the description in the backend.

Any ideas on how we can have the descriptions showing for the subforums too?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @INcroatia,

That is how it works by default on BBpress.
You can see it here:
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-forum.php
On line 44, you can see how it calls the subforum list
<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>
You can find the function here: \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\template.php
The output is just title:

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'];

Please check actual documentation here. It doesn’t support description by default. Adding description is possible with customization but that would be outside the scope of our support. You may start to check those files on how to add it. Thank you for understanding.
