Is there a way to add a block of text between the title ‘Forum’ and the actual forum?!

Client has some descriptive text about the forum to ideally go in there.

Many thanks,
Ollie

if you create a wordpress page with the same slug as your forum – typically ‘forums’, and put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

this should then look like the existing forum.

If so, then before the shortcode add a block in which you can put text or a link or whatever you want

Thanks Robin,

I thought that for some reason I was unable to use shortcodes in my particular situation but the project has been a long build and I have forgotten why! Will have a fresh look.

Thank you,
Ollie

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6

this will add any text you put in

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in then content section – so you can put the link in there

Thanks Robin,

I already had bbp style pack and have located item 6.

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in then content section – so you can put the link in there.. this I can’t locate?

so go to

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in the content section – so you can put the link in there

then the style pack just enables that

Hi Robin,

Sorry for slow reply, just picking this up again.

So, I see what you are saying but it is this page where I need to inject the content:-

I think what you are saying is, it will add a description into the individual forums.

So, I tried your suggestion and set up a custom page, with the shortcode in WordPress default editor as it wouldn’t work with Divi! Added the text above, does the trick.

Thanks for your help,
