This is one way…

function ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() {
	?>
	<div class="bbp-template-notice">
		<p>Something here...</p>
		<p>Something else...</p>
	</div>
	<?php

}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices' );

And another is to modify the form-topic.php template.

[Leonyipa]

where should I add the code to?

[Robin W]

to your functions file see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Leonyipa]

I put

function ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() {
?>
<div class=”bbp-template-notice”>
<p>Something here…</p>
<p>Something else…</p>
</div>
<?php

}
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’, ‘ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’ );

but then it says:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() (previously declared in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php:634) in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php on line 628

That’s weird, did you add it twice?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() (previously declared..

It could be my hastily quick copy and paste job, here is the same thing with an alternate function name, make sure you remove the previos function. 😉

function ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice() {
	?>
	<div class="bbp-template-notice">
		<p>Something here...</p>
		<p>Something else...</p>
	</div>
	<?php

}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice' );

[Leonyipa]

after putting the new code, it now says:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice() (previously declared in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php:633) in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php on line 627

I actually placed the code in bbpress/includes/core/functions.php
is it wrong?

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, it should NOT go there, you should add it to your child themes functions.php file.

Remove it from where you added it.

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes on creating a child theme.

And this is where you add that code https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php

thanks,

I saw the announcement in topic creation.
Can I make the announcement to be shown in topic creation, reply creation and also when editing reply?

[Leonyipa]

It’s fixed thanks 🙂

I changed
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’, ‘ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice’ );

into
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’, ‘ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice’ );
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_form_notices’, ‘ntwb_custom_topic_form_notice’ );
