I have forums all setup and would just like an image and some content above the forums on the page. I cant find anywhere to add this on the pages. Can someone advice on how to do this?

would like to add an image and a nice text like contact us if you have questions on using the forum. above the breadcrumbs.

Do you want it over all forum forum pages, the forum root page, or a single forum page??

[katiemeeks]

single forum would be great, all over forum would work. I would like to post some graphics and text.

Hi,
I already started to have a look on this. Will keep you informed in the next days/weeks.

Thank you

[katiemeeks]

I would like to clarify that I would like unique content to the forum.

This forum I would like details of why we have this forum and an image, etc above it:

SEE Readers

Is there a way to do this?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Still had no time to look at this, sorry. And for sure it will not be this week as too busy with professional projects.

For your case, do you want to have image and details of ‘Books’ and ‘Articles’ or you want it for the ‘SEE READERS’ just above the blue box ?

Thank you – I would like a text box/ content/ code. My purpose on this particular forum would be to move the content from this page: http://discoversee.com/see-readers/ above the forum.
I would like the option to have content above each forum as they all have different purposes.
I dont want them to have to click over to that forum to know what the purpose of the forum is. Also to provide some text and direction on posting for organization.

[Pascal Casier]

Then probably the best thing is to create a standard wordpress page, add any text/images you want and below that use the correct shortcode like [bbp-forum-index] for all forums or [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] for a specific forum.

Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ for the shortcodes.

If that is not what you are looking for, get back here.

That is great for the main page. Is there a way to put text and images when they click on the topic that tells the same thing so the page info is always above while they are on the forum?

[Pascal Casier]

Then maybe bbP style pack can help ?
Check out this thread of some time ago: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-get-a-banner-to-show-up-on-top-of-my-forum-pages/

Pascal.

[katiemeeks]

Thank you, I installed the plugin and it helps with styling but still doesn’t give me option for content above the forum.

[Pascal Casier]

Strange … Did you follow what Robin explained ?

ok, the simplest way would be

Dashboard>forums>all forums and edit each forum

put the banner in the description

then download my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and tick item 6 Add Forum Description on the forum display tab

[katiemeeks]

works perfect! thank you so much for the detailed instructions.

[katiemeeks]

do you (or anyone reading this) know how to limit the characters shown on the excerpt on the main forum?

I have sub forums and using your plugin – love it thank you! But the full description with images, etc shows up on the description on the forum.

http://discoversee.com/seeforums/forum/see-readers/ (I removed the images) but you can see under books the full description shows, images and all.

[Pascal Casier]

To be honest, never seen this question before. Normally you want to explain there what it is without cutting the phrase 🙂

The only way I see right now would be a jQuery like this one (50 is limit):

<script type="text/javascript">
function bbppc_cut_forum_text {
jQuery("div.bbp-forum-content").text(function(index, currentText) {
    return currentText.substr(0, 50) + '...';
});
}
</script>

Then don’t forget to wp_enqueue_script to have this running.

But I have NO IDEA what the impact will be on other pages !!! And I didn’t test it either, just a quick thought.
