I’m sorry for my delay in replying! I had to put this project aside briefly but now I’m back at it. I really appreciate your response – but, unfortunately, I don’t have that file or an extras folder.

The theme author told me that it is in the bbpress folder, so I went to wp-content/plugins/bbpress and there are some files in there (bbpress.php, index.php) that may be the place to do it. I’m going to keep trying!

Thanks again 🙂

Thanks for your feedback guys! I ended up hard-coding the changes in register.php, but I’d much prefer to do it the way you describe because it would allow my client to customize that text anytime they want.

Can you point me to guidance on how to use the shortcode (and override the already-existing register.php)? robbiegod, I’d love to hear if you figure out how to redirect people back to the forum.

Thanks!

Hi Lynq,
Thanks for your reply! I’m using a theme built for bbpress  (Bounce: http://demo.ghostpool.com/bounce/) so I think it comes already built into the theme.

The theme author pointed me to this thread, which I’d found myself earlier and doesn’t seem to address the issue in my case because I don’t have a file front-page.php: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-text-to-home-page-of-forum/

I have asked the author to tell me what the equivalent to front-page.php is, or where I can go to find this file (I can’t find it in Appearance–>Editor or Plugins–>Editor–>bbpress) but if anyone else has ideas on how to accomplish this I’d really appreciate it because I’m not sure he really knows how to help me.

Thanks 🙂
