Hey all,

I want to be able to display descriptions of the forums using the bbp_list_forums function.

I want to be able to have descriptions on the main homepage as well as the category pages.

So, what is the best way to override this function? Is there a way to do it via another plugin or the functions file inside the theme.

Thanks for the help!

I would create a child theme with all the bbpress theme files. You can then edit everything there and you won’t lose your work with updates. Probably worth waiting for 2.1 to do this though as there are a number of theme changes.

Check out https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-21-theme-compatibility/page/2 for some instructions on how to make bbpress 2.1 work with your child theme. About half way down.
