Hi,

Im hoping to add some custom text (forum description) to a single forum reply and i’m not sure which template file id need to adjust. I’d like the text to appear underneath Create New Topic in “Private: Data Specialists”

So far i’ve been successful in getting the text above or below the forum content but not sure where to go from there:

Thanks

You can achieve this using below custom code in your site and editing the text “This is custom text” to whatever you want to display.

function vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form() {
    ?>
        <div class="custom-text">
          <p>
            <?php _e( "This is custom text." ); ?>
          </p>
        </div>
    <?php
 }
 add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form' );

You can add that code either in the functions.php file in child theme or in small custom plugin.

Hi Vinood, thanks for the code, it works perfectly.

The only issue is that the text will need to be different for each forum which is why i was wondering if there was a way to pull the text from the forum description rather than add the custom text in the php file if that makes sense.

If there is not a way then i will make the descriptions more global but ideally i’d be able to make each unique or have none at all.

Thanks, Lauren

never mind ive done it, thanks to you i merged your solution with mine and hey presto!

function vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form() {
    
        echo '<div class="bbp-forum-content">';
		echo bbp_forum_content();
		echo '</div>';
    
 }
 add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form' );

Thanks again for your help 🙂
